The Shane Dawson X Jeffree Star collection was a makeup collaboration between two friends that went over really well. Though, recently there were some issues with the makeup palettes: Conspiracy and Mini Controversy. But knowing that was Jeffree Star Cosmetics was behind such a huge project, we can expect them to take some substantial action to resolve the issue. That’s exactly what Jeffree Star shared on Twitter:

What Was The Issue?
The makeup palettes had fibers present in them because ribbons were being used to press the shades. Though, the manufacturing team looked into the issue and figured out ways to prevent this situation from happening in the future.
The controls they are going to use seem to be highly effective in preventing the huge issue.
Moreover, Jeffree Star shares an actual clip of how they press the eye-shadows in the palettes:
Here is a clip from the lab of how we press the eyeshadows. Moving forward my manufacturer will make sure this never happens again and have put in place several precautions and steps to avoid the ribbon issue. You all know how serious I take my company, thank you for listening ⭐️ pic.twitter.com/jtXRWjPBnl

You’ve always been really generous about replacing palettes even if we got it through PR. You’re an amazing CEO ❤️

I am in AWE. This is 100% how a CEO should react to any product issues. Other brand CEO's should take a lesson from you. And no im not pointing fingers or being shady. All too often brands want to lie, cover up, etc..product issues. You are the example of good business practice.
