Post COVID-19 world: Jeffree Star shared how he’s been making use of his self-quarantining time amid the growing coronavirus pandemic in new YouTube video
‘We’re going to get ready today. We’re going to get ready in this quarantine environment,” Jeffree said near the top of the clip, after greeting his hair stylist.
‘Everyone out there watching, I think the world is in a really weird state now
I looked at my last makeup review that was at the end of February, and then things really got serious in March,’ he explained as his hair stylist intently looked on.
‘The fact that there’s real cities on full lockdown. There’s so much happening, it’s just really overwhelming.’
It was at this point that Star promised to lighten up the moment by offering an escape ‘to all the craziness that’s out there,’ which included a trip to pick up a custom McLaren.

While sitting down with his glam squad, Star opened up about his first Botox experience.
“Now you might see a little few lumps on my forehead. I got Botox — yes for the first time. I know no one believes me,’ said the Los Angeles native, 34.
“They think I’ve had it forever. I’ve never had it before, never needed to. And I thought, b**ch. It’s time to quarantine these f***ing wrinkles while we’re all sitting here.’
Turns out Star got a case of cabin fever after a six-day isolation, before California Governor Gavin Newsome heightened the home lockdown order, and paid a visit to his doctor, which was documented in a video taken during the visit.
‘Because the world’s ending, let’s get botox for the first time,’ the Jeffree Star Cosmetics founder began in the clip shot while sitting back in a medical examination chair.

When the video returned to him at his home, Star admitted he had a little bruise and a bump on his forehead from the injections
It’s literally on day two. But I feel good,’ he explained.
Once the glam team finished with his hair and makeup, the YouTube star teased a new palette, which had been set to drop in April, before the mass shutdown of businesses in the wake of the virus.
He also gave a tour of some of his new additions to his luxurious home and then headed out on a trip to Burbank to see his new custom pink McLaren.
In the description of the video, Star revealed that the new video was filmed several days before LA stepped up its COVID-19 restrictions and recommendations.
‘We’ve never seen anything like this happen before. It’s been hard to sit down and film with all of this craziness happening but I hope this gives you a distraction for a few minutes,’ he wrote.
‘Love you guys so much.’
