The cosmetic brand Maybelline received backlash after featuring a bearded influencer in its lipstick ad.
In an advertisement for Amazon Prime Day, Maybelline posted a reel on its Instagram page featuring beauty influencer, Ryan Vita, who is the brand’s “Maybelline Partner,” applying its “Super Stay” liquid lipstick.
However, many of Maybelline‘s followers were disgruntled over the video.
“You know this isn’t right.. so disturbing to watch!!” one user wrote.
Another user wrote, “Maybelline needs Jesus Christ ASAP like this isn’t normal at all.”

“You had better hope that there are a lot of lipstick wearing, bearded men out there to make up the sales that you have just lost,” the user added.
“Disturbing video worst way of marketing,” another user wrote.
Another user inquired whether Maybelline thought anyone would want to buy its lipsticks after seeing the ad.
“I love maybelline (sic) but can’t handle this. I got scared even by seeing this!” the user wrote, asking them to “please stop.”
This came after Maybelline received backlash for its partnership with transgender influencer, Dylan Mulvaney in March.
“What a privilege to dress up as a girl and not have ever dealt with the issues biological females deal with. You’re not a woman. Face it,” one user wrote under Mulvaney’s post.

Another user asserted, “Womanhood is not a costume you can put on,” but prefaced she doesn’t “hate” Mulvaney.
“Dylan seems like a bubbly and sweet person. But Dylan is not a woman, and dressing up in pink clothes and acting like an offensive stereotype caricature of a woman doesn’t make him one,” the user continued.
Furthermore, the user stated they “hope he gets the help he needs.”
“Having the world support his delusions and cater to them isn’t doing him any good. This is a mental health crisis, not a showing of ‘bravery,'” they added.
Truth and Accuracy
ROTFLMCFASHWUAO!!
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.
Liberals continue to marginalize women...
Another “influencer” never heard of.
You can put lipstick on a man, but he is still a man.
Women seem to be willing to let themselves be marginalized. They could put an end to this and other related issues (trans athletes, etc.) quite quickly if they hit the streets in protest. Companies would take notice immediately. Even leftists would have to dial it back for fear of getting slaughtered well beyond the voter fraud machine in 2024.
Wow, when you’ve managed to piss-off even Gen Z girls who buy cosmetics with too much tranny propaganda, you are really in trouble!
bttt
Women vote Democrat more than men do.
It took them half a dozen years to keep up with Cover Girl’s made up confused male model.
I’d quit using their products after seeing an ad like that, too, if I used them.
Large companies need to hire Ad Agencies that ‘look like America’ and NOT ONLY LIKE MEMBERS OF A GAY BATHHOUSE...
Maybe he’s born with it; maybe it’s Makebelline.
Let the gay lobby run AND PAY FOR their own ads rather than piggy backing on your ads Maybelline. Same goes for Disney and Budweiser.
