I have forever been obsessed with the look of Jeffree Stars makeup. I purchased his eyeshadow palettes before I tried his lipsticks.
I had a few on my wish list but the first shades I did get were 'You. Better. Work.', 'Family Jewels', 'venus Flytrap' and 'Flamboyant'. Four shades form his 2017 summer collection. These 4 shades were so inconsistent in their formulas which lead me to the lower rating. I know that with brighter shades they can be a little streaky and a need a little work to apply but I could never apply 'Venus Flytrap' successfully without it looking dreadful, obviously streaky and patchy and this one was drying for my lips. I even prepped with his sugar scrubs before hand for maximum effort. This shade unfortunately doesn't make a great lippy but works great as a eyeliner!
Two of the other shades were similar in consistency, streaky and a little drying (You. Better. Work and Flamboyant) however Family Jewels not so much. This shade went on beautifully and I had no issues with it at all! It lasted for so long on the lip but I did find a little drying but not as much as the other shades.
This did not stop me from buying more. I thought that maybe the more normal everyday shades would be a little bit different and wouldn't require extra work to apply them.
I purchased the shades 'Androgyny', 'Posh spice', 'Leo', and 'Gemini'. These shades? I loveeeeeee. So easy to apply, lasted well on the lip, and didn't dry my lip out.
I wish the consistency of his liquid lips were all the same but I found they weren't.
I didn't mind this lipstick - it is long lasting and has a good shade range. But it's quite difficult to apply neatly, and is rather expensive.
The company owner is lacking in morals and my dislike of him probably clouds my judgement here, but I think there are better liquid lipsticks from much nice companies (Mellow for example).
