I like to always be as productive as possible.
— Jeffree Star
Music is really important to me; Kurt Cobain is important to me. Hearing Nirvana was pretty life-changing.
I feel like with the whole Internet era, people can be so judgmental and evil online.
I'm just Jeffree. Everyone calls me he/she/whatever they want to call me; I'm an alien.
Pink looks good on everyone.
I knew I was gay since, like, fifth grade.
I always keep a damp beauty blender and a powder compact in my purse, and I touch up a lot.
I didn't even know about guys wearing makeup, like David Bowie and Boy George. When I was really young, I wasn't into that - I was into Britney Spears.
Me being nice or positive is not what people want to hear, which sucks.
If you click on MTV, it's the same 10 bands and the same 10 songs, and it gets so old. Kids are looking for something besides what they get on the radio.
Negative or positive attention - I think it's all great.
I shaved my eyebrows in 10th grade.
I think a lot of brands are scared to put out wild shades, but I love that.
Besides makeup, my other passion is music.

The past can never be erased. It is always going to be there.
I used to copy looks from fashion ads in my mother's 'Cosmopolitan' magazines and steal her eye shadows.
I used the Internet as a vehicle to get places not many people did before.
I have over seventy tattoos.
I'm blessed to have a family that always supported me being me.
My face doesn't sweat, and my body never really ever sweats.
I was the first one to have high-speed Internet before all my friends.
Even if I'm in a movie theatre, I'll touch up an hour into the film because I know I could be a little shiny.
Skin care is so important, and I'm the craziest person about it.
I used to be really shy, and I think something happened in my brain where I was like, 'All right, I don't care anymore. I'm just going to be myself.' So I went to school wearing eyeliner and eye shadow, and they called my mom, telling her it was a distraction. My mom fought the school, and I got to wear makeup every day.
I can't just say everything that I feel because, at the end of the day, I am a product.
Most of my fans are really young, and they feel like they've discovered me.
I didn't want to sit around and wait for someone to discover me, so I created my own self through the Internet.
My mom used to be a model.
I'm in a unique position, reviewing products for a living, as well as having a successful cosmetics company.
It takes a lot of guts to put on a face full of makeup, being a male in the world where a lot of people still think that cosmetics are only for women.
My past has been recorded, it's been videoed. It's been exploited all over the Internet.
I love lips, so I wanted to make the most lightweight liquid-to-matte lipstick on the market!
You know me: I'm always down to be brutally honest.
If you go to my shows, 90 percent of my fans are females between the ages of eleven and eighteen. People look at me like a living mannequin; all of these girls want pink hair. They want the cool makeup and contact lenses and cool clothes.
Seventh grade was the first time I dyed my hair, and I went to school with red and black stripes, so I looked like a zebra.
I think a lot of people are too safe in the makeup industry.
My mum had 'Cosmopolitan' magazine as a subscription and 'Vogue,' and every month I would be like, 'I wanna be that girl in that ad.'
I always knew I was different than everyone else, and smarter.
When you're from Cali and it's always sunny, you kind of want some rain.
I never dreamt of being a pop star or being on stage - makeup was always my true passion.
I know it sounds so dumb, but when you've had pink hair for 12 years and take that away, you're looked at in a different light.
I would rather just be successful and have money than be famous.
I've used the Internet since I was in high school - it was my tool for self-promotion.
I have Louis Vuitton everything. I'm obsessed.
I've worn makeup for so long, my skin needs it.
Ever since I can remember, I hated silence. I wanted it filled with guitars and melodies to sing all day.
In just a few years, I have turned my small company into a multi-million dollar makeup empire.
I was someone that loved to seek attention when I was younger.
It's been a dream of mine since I discovered my first lipstick to create and own my very own brand. My goal is to create products that do exactly what they say and that actually last!
