Beauty History: Some Of The Most Controversial Beauty Launches We've Seen l justShanygne

[@livelovepunkie]

Oh to be around when all of these things were happening. What a time! Every controversy you mentioned literally boils down to, companies and creators alike, PURPOSELY being tone deaf

[@justshanygne]

Hello!!

[@jkim7848]

You hit the nail on the head.

[@janae3333]

The video of Jackie and Alyssa is iconic. I still watch the beginning of it when I want a good laugh!

[@jkim7848]

For Beauty Blender it was even worse bc the brand responded to the backlash by saying that “Of our 32 blends, half the shades are formulated for a range of light olive to dark skin tones and include subtle nuances that make a world of difference on the skin. We truly want everyone to find their perfect match - so while the range goes very light, as well as very dark, we have THE MOST shades in, what we call, our 'medium-plus' range and this was made for Latinas and people of multicultural backgrounds because they have the hardest time finding the right shade to match their undertone”. So when people rightfully called out how this ignored Afro-Latines and varying undertones for deeper complexions too Beauty Blender took another step back.

[@justshanygne]

Clock it!!

[@jkim7848]

I won’t forget that because their excuses were so badly written 😩.

[@aaaisela]

Haven’t touched a beauty blender since!

[@jkim7848]

I don’t blame you. Plus there are other alternatives to their products ppl can buy

[@Mimi31_]

I’m black year round 😂😂😂 Exactly!!!

[@justshanygne]

Likeeee baby the difference ain’t THAT deep

[@thebeautystandard]

30:45 yes this - I remember when NARS came out with their blushes everyone LOVED how pigmented they are, so it's interesting to see a shift where people are throwing a tantrum about that quality of being highly pigmented now because they're no longer the center of attention.

[@yahainHotPink]

I love your deep dives and Beauty Brand talks Shanygne!! 😄😄

[@justshanygne]

I’m glad you do!!

[@lenah5513]

"I understand that stupid exists." I follow you because you speak truth. Keep it coming.

[@TemieBeauty]

41:23 The only product I bought from that time was the Jackie Aina Palette and I still use it to this day! Love that palette. 😊

[@kiykiyaaa]

It's iconic, and all over the internet I hear Black women talk about how we are hanging on to the last bits of shadows we have from it. I really wish she would do another limited release of it for the girls!

[@teejack8108]

Now I don't feel bad still using the palette. I just can't let it go. I hit pan on my two favorite colors.

[@LilMissJess24]

Same here! My pinker and zamn shades hate to see me coming with a brush 😩😭

[@naiapapayatube]

Can you please do a video of your favorite holiday collections made. Throughout the years (Any holiday)

[@justshanygne]

Sure!

[@naiapapayatube]

@@justshanygneomg yay 🤗

[@home-818]

25:16 I started singing "Just be glad you got the whole wide world" -Solange in my head when you spoke on this

[@tochiagbo]

Yoooo beauty gossip youtubers were eating real good in this era! I had my go tos I'd go to when mess like this went down lol. RIP HereForTheTea

[@tayanawoodton5475]

omg i COMPLETELY forgot about the vault palettes. that drama is what got me involved with the online beauty community 😂😂 also i had the subculture palette and i remember really loving the shimmers and there was like a mustard shade and a blue-ish shade that i really liked. after that they came out with the prism palette i think? i also really liked that one. but i’ve since decluttered a lot of my makeup (post-overconsumption clarity) so i can’t say if i’d still like them today.

[@serenatsukino5252]

Calling Rihanna dark skin is crazy. I feel like lately people from outside of the community have been redefining what "light skin", "dark skin" and "brown skin" means.

[@yahainHotPink]

I bought a Jaclyn Hill lipstick, 1 only. And the news started coming out about the lipstick drama while mine wasn't arrived yet. After it arrived, I inspected it and put it aside for 3 days. When I inspected it again, it had 2 tiny filaments coming out of the lipstick tip. I took pictures, shared them and then returned the lipstick and got a refund, before the mass refunds. Never purchased anything from her again

[@justshanygne]

Woulda done the same 🙂‍↕️

[@brittbrattthat]

This was a TIME to be on social media when most of this went down. 😅😂. Especially twitter. I purchased subculture… the color story had so much potential but that formulation and lack of depth on deeper complexions??. I never returned an eyeshadow palette so fast 😂

[@bb412m]

I remember the Tarte debacle as if it were only yesterday. An influencer dropped shape tape and the brand itself in the bin, and I quote one, “ for the foreseeable future.” It was a big mess. Ergo, I’ve never bought a Tarte product and never will. The same goes for any brand with such an intentional lack of inclusivity.

[@erronperez8215]

People's memories are short! I love that you try'na keep the heat alive. Everybody caught a stray today!! Daniel Caesar, Shanygne?? 😹🫣 Happy Holidays, girl 🎉🎄🍾

[@willywill3]

I immediately threw out my jacqueline hill pallet, because not for the eyes is wild. 😫 i didnt even know who she was when I first got it, I just liked the colors 😢

[@AminaIntheCity]

It’s crazy cause the og big JH morphe palette was, imo, the first time i could use a morphe palette. It was pigmented enough and the formula was *chefs kiss* everyone pretty much liked it. But to see people say The JA palette was too pigmented was 🥴🥴🥴 i love that JH palette so much i have two backups cause she is THAT GWORL

[@prettysunshyngrl]

I didn't purchase anything but I swear to God you mentioning Subculture activated something in me like a sleeper agent because WHAT A MESS 😂

[@msmaliit]

So many unlocked memories. I was trying to depot some eyeshadows the other day and thought about how z-palettes was cancelled but couldn't remember why.

[@BeautifulBakist]

you changed the intro song, it's really a new era! ayeeee!

[@jandnoc]

Brands who were blatantly about the BS with their shade ranges, I refused to buy their products to this day. If my skin was an after thought for you, best believe you're an after thought to me too. 💁🏾‍♀️

[@nancykerrigan]

30:54 interesting you said that. I saw another creator talked about those blushes saying they didn't like them because it was too pigmented. They didn't make a theatrics over it but when asked what popular sephota brand products they find overrated they mention rare beauty liquid blushes. 😂 but they also said it was better suited for more melanated people so..

[@themajesticwierdo2193]

That Becca Ever-Matte primer was my holy grail back in the day! I'm so sad that it isn't a thing anymore because NOW I actually know how to do my makeup properly lol back then I was still learning but I knew to get that primer 😂

[@aliciabrown9091]

I purchased one of the Jaclyn Hill pallets, the set of four, I think it was bling blitz. Had issues the formula, it was trash. Took it back to Ulta for them to try to tell me I was using it right that i needed to wet my brush and then later hearing that they were reformulating it and putting it back out. The was my last time purchasing anything Morphe x Jaclyn Hill

[@aurellezanou5062]

For Jaclyn, it came out that Jaclyn hill cosmetics was owned by morphe so when for a declared bankruptcy, so did JH cosmetics which is why she told her audience aged was shutting it down. The company also was in debt to Jaclyn herself

[@justshanygne]

Ahhh, there’s usually always more to the story

[@user-ib1mn8pe6p]

Haven’t watched the full video yet but I just wanted to comment and say I’m so excited about this rebrand. I’ve been a subscriber since your Kylie lip kit video(s). I’m always excited to hear your input.

[@magikarpg]

I remember all of the old ones omg.. I've been watching beauty youtube for a while haha

[@Itsmemarleneg]

All those controversies live rent free in my head

[@justshanygne]

lol plz

[@feetjiefit6353]

Watching at 3am 🎉🎉🎉🎉 great video 🇳🇦

[@justshanygne]

3am? Where you tuning in from chile? 👀

[@kiykiyaaa]

I just want to say ive been watching you since 2016/2017 and im so proud to see your growth. I love that youve had great longevity. Even though im caramel toned, I have cousins your shade and your content is still relevant to me. God bless you and keep thriving!

[@frankac6592]

So many brands that I will never buy from Natasha Denona, Kylie, Tarte and many more that I can't even remember the specific reason but something in me just knows to not shop them😅

[@traetrae11]

I remember all of these controversies and had a good laugh at Jackie and Alyssa reading the shade names. It was ridiculous. I never bought any of the products from the shape tape line, not the concealer or foundation. They looked really orange.

[@EB-sl9nk]

On here first waiting on that CLEAR foundation EPIC FAIL

[@justshanygne]

Knew it was coming!

[@lee8336]

Oh the nostalgia 🤣 I was legit smiling for the majority of this vid bc..wheww the timesss baybeee the timesss that were had

[@Vuri_]

“I’m black year round”

[@ZurieRae]

I was just getting into make at the end of the Jaqueline, Becca, Marc Jacob’s, Kylie, KKW era. I did take advantage of all the close out sales they had with the exception of Kylie. They all had good products although I didn’t try everything .Jacqueline Hill had some good lip oils. Top tier. I really enjoy the couple of brushes I purchased from Marc Jacob’s. His mascara is top tier one of my favorites to this day. Luckily I bought like 5. I enjoyed Excalibur highlighter and blush formula. I also really enjoyed a foundation or two. I never tried anything from Kylie but I did pick my daughter up some lip oils, a candle and body care products. I really enjoyed some of KKW products. The lip liners and loose powder I still use to this day. Well the lip liners are used up unfortunately. I was a huge fan of her lip gloss or lip stick. Her eye shadow wasn’t bad. I decluttered what I had. I prefer her new brand eyeshadow though. I’m excited about a potential run of Marc Jacob’s beauty. There better be a bronzer for me. Lol. Tarte was my first high end make purchase before I j ew what ashy makeup was lol. They have really nice brushes though. I still have and use to this day.

[@GirlYouDontKnow1237]

I was here for all of these 😂

[@justshanygne]

It’s been a longggggg road 🤭

[@Autumn_Rivers]

Added to that Rihanna's father is Irish and Black, her mother is Black GT.. All 3 of that woman children Brown skin

[@DJSteenie]

So, I bought the big Morphe/Hill palette, but since I was new to the Beauty Community, I bought it years later, and I couldn’t understand why the old tutorials hyped it up so much! Like it was okay, but people spoke on it like Jesus shook His shoe at it. Just to find out that Morphe switched the formula so it wasn’t as good as it use to be, and they just never said anything about it

[@kyannag]

💖✨✨✨ eeeeeeeyyyyyeeeeee LOVEEEEEEED ✨✨✨💖 this video!! I’m bouta watch it again! Took me down memory lane fr 🫣🤭💕

[@justshanygne]

Glad you like it! Wanna incorporate more trips down memory lane

[@469ka37]

The crazy thing about that "no pigment foundation" is that Becca wasn't known for having bad shade ranges. Like the worst I can think of is that color correcting concealer, but other than that most of her products worked on darker skin, so to have a temper tantrum like that was really weird. As for why suddenly lighter people were joining in on the lashing of Tarte's shade range, it's because Fenty had just came out like 6 months prior making the very common problem black women have had for decades more prominent in the wider beauty community zeitgeist. So to be in a time where watching people finally being able to find a shade in store that's not at a Mac counter, to Tarte Shape Tape was quite a step back. It didn't help that is was a foundation range at that because this was well before other product ranges were brought into question like bronzer, contour, and concealer. Foundation had just made it's way into the conversation because before miss Robyn Fenty, a light skinned black woman at that, brought it up and campaigned her products on it, no one cared about shade range or gradients. They just went about their business because it wasn't their problem.

[@nancykerrigan]

I got the bounce foundation 😂 years ago. I really liked it except for the dispenser. Honestly wasn't aware of the poor shade range until you mentioned it.

[@janira5788]

I remember all of these scandals 😭😭😭

[@keliikells]

Mannnn i think i really got into makeup yt back in 2014 and lordddy

[@daniela5748]

Nah I’m still watching but when I seen that Tarte shade range I started 😂😂😂😂😂😂 like the disrespect is WILD!! Laughable forreal . I left that brand after that nonsense. Playing in our faces like that

[@faceofamodel]

Heavy on the know when something is for you 😂

[@ZayabelDraga13]

Not my name being Sally 😭

[@jordanwall6301]

It’s like brands know who their target audience is but still drop the ball. It’s like brands purposely choose not include a certain demographic but wants them to buy their products😂. Didn’t Kylie cosmetics not cater to black people as well but as soon as FENTY came out, Kylie started to include deeper complexion or I am thinking of someone else?

[@crystalnea17]

Jaclyn Hill was never a brand owner, it came out that she was allowing Morphe to use her name on their products and just pretending she was an independent brand owner. Because she was deceiving the public, every time something went wrong with production she had to eat it. In reality, she probably had very little control of the what factories were even used to produce the product. Getting in bed with Morphe to that level definitely killed her credibility in the long run.

[@Killahrose]

I miss OG KZbin. When it was about makeup drama

[@tochiagbo]

The way I cut my eye at 37:05 loool 💀 Robyn is brown skin at best and even that's a stretch

[@justshanygne]

Nah she’s in the light crowd with Lauren Cassie and lori lol. Both megs (the stallion and good) would be examples in the brown category.

[@tochiagbo]

@justshanygne 1000% agree. I meant that I wouldn't be as mad at someone claiming she was brown skin. She's deffo light skin. Calling her dark skin is absolutely asinine lmaooo

[@joannixon2845]

Ignorance begets ignorance 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mitchie2699]

I was just about to comment about subculture and you mentioned it… MESS 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@charlicepischke1914]

Aww a trip down memory lane, lol

[@makeupqueenroo]

I kinda miss the Jaclyn hill drama days. That was a fun time in makeup. But one thing I noticed about that girl is that she has nine lives 😂 no matter how bad the last launch was when she made another launch they would still buy it. I wonder with the foundation shades, where they rage baiting us because they knew they would get publicity from their whack ranges? The black pigment from youthforia was just blasphemy. I’ve also noticed the tik tok rage is different, they just get mad about anything for views.

[@sasukeissocoollike]

yt people thing everything is for them, they're not used to the world not revolving around them oop....

[@Colipopkola]

Yes I remember all of these. Except the Z palette controversy 😂😂😂 that clap back had me almost in tears! They were mad mad! 🤣😭😭 But man this was a time. I was living for when Tarte was gettinf flamed for like a whole year! 😊😂

[@justshanygne]

I vividly remember reading the z palette responses in real time. They was not playing!!

[@Colipopkola]

@justshanygne I could only imagine seeing it in real time. They took those comments super personally! 🤣

[@liltawna12345]

The end of an era or did i find the second channel??

[@justshanygne]

The end of an era fren

[@EB-sl9nk]

WAIT.....what happened with Natasha Denona????

[@westellecoffy]

Wasn't she beefing with The Fancy Face?

[@justshanygne]

Went back n forth with a creator cause she didn’t like her review

[@raeray815]

13:18 Shame Shame Shame!

[@sajay3709]

Wait a min what did Daniel ceas do?

[@justshanygne]

He was tryna defend yesjulz after she wore a “n--as lie a lot” shirt (she’s white) saying why are black ppl being mean to white ppl blah blah blah and basically said something to the effect of “cancel me right now if you feel a way or disagree” and ppl did just that. Career was never the same. He apologized last year happened in 2019 tho.

[@wtfbilly143]

DAMN We really gettin old 😅

[@nykia6]

Yikes! These brands chile

[@Autumn_Rivers]

PA PA PAUSE I am bajan.. Rihanna has always been what we call brown skin... You guys would say medium - light... I find people on the Internet need Jesus, Salvation and Holy Water

[@opalfruitcake]

No offence meant (you're both pretty) , however, you look like another KZbinr called Too Much Mouth 🙂

[@justshanygne]

Titi is old baby this a joke right? lol

[@serenatsukino5252]

😂

[@kfner23]

She is her.

[@khwezik3894]

Talking about tirtir, i am usually the next neutral shade after whatever shade you use and i thought oh that will be perfecr for me then (cause to be honest i thought you coulda worked it 🫣). Then i got it, tried it. Too dark 😪. And it just wasn't right for me as i sweat a lot and i mean a lot and this would jist run down my face. I saw they have a matte one, nay try it in the extended shades cause ja, 51N Fudge was just too dark for me. I thinm we think as you're a beauty guru and your thing was always foundations, that it would be easy for you to fenesse and then i could copy your methods to finesse it for me 😅
