But many are claiming that there’s something very, very wrong with this series of photos. Star and Delano’s skin tones appear to remain the same throughout all of the images. He uses these effects on white models quite frequently. He has since apologized, but it has still caused many people to boycott his brand. “It’s very unfortunate that a section of the community is choosing to interpret and liken my image in Jeffree Star’s campaign to blackface. The message of this campaign is intended to welcome all gender identities, sexualities, and races to enjoy the makeup line. Additionally, the creative design for the imagery called for high contrast between light and shadow, and low lighting, which lends itself to creating a mood for the imagery. This campaign is so exciting and so disruptive; I’m proud to be featured in it as a Transgender Woman of Mixed Race (my mother being Mexican and my father Vietnamese). I’m disappointed that anyone would choose to critique the creative design of this incredibly inclusive campaign, rather than celebrate the diversity in it.”
