early life
Jeffrey Star was born on November 15, 1985 in Geoffrey Lynn Steininger Jr. in Orange County, California. Unfortunately, his father Geoffrey Steininger killed himself when he was six years old. He was raised by his mother Marra Shubyann Lindstrom Steininger, who is a model. When he was young, Jeffrey would try his mother’s cosmetics. In fact, he has put on makeup every day since junior high school. After graduating from high school, he moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in modeling and makeup. He still maintains an interest in music. When he first came to Hollywood, he worked at several makeup counters and booked impromptu shows during weddings and fashion shoots.
Over time, he began to build celebrity relationships for his makeup skills. He also attracted a number of followers on social media (especially MySpace), where he posted makeup tips and songs. He eventually developed into one of the largest early followers of MySpace, and his photo posts received tens of thousands of comments. By 2006, he was the most connected profile figure in MySpace. He is also notorious for being one of the most popular unsigned artists on MySpace. His songs are often ranked high on the independent artist charts of MySpace Music.
Music career
Jeffee’s first album “Beauty Killer” was released on Popsicle Records in September 2009. The album debuted at number 2 on the Top Heatseekers chart and at number 122 on the Billboard 200. It ranks 22nd on the American independent album chart. It also entered the top 10 American dance/electronic albums. At the time of writing, this is Jeffrey’s only studio album, although he has also released four extended plays and five music videos. His 2008 EP “Cupcakes Taste Like Violence” also entered the top 10 of multiple rankings. He collaborated with Kesha and Nicki Minaj, and signed a record contract with Konvict Muzik of Akon in 2010. The second album was never produced. He later claimed that the personality conflict with Akon was the reason he left the record deal and the entire music industry.
Jeffrey Star Cosmetics
Jeffree used his life savings from music and makeup to found his eponymous cosmetics company in 2014. He later said that he was almost bankrupt at the time and felt that his music career was a failure when he founded the company. He was one of the first celebrities to use YouTube to promote his brand and his own makeup. Jeffree’s early YouTube uploads were still mainly related to his music, but he quickly turned to promote Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Thanks to his friendship with celebrities such as Kat Von D, his following grew rapidly.
His YouTube fans will eventually exceed 15 million, and his video views will exceed 1.7 billion.
His first version was the velvet liquid lipstick series. All 30,000 units were sold out within minutes of launch. He then launched a series of lip scrubs, highlighter palettes and eyeshadow palettes. Subsequently, he released a series of accessories and clothing, including cosmetic bags and mirrors.
In 2018, the first mall store in the United States started selling Jeffree’s product line, but most of his sales today come from direct delivery from his own warehouse in Los Angeles.

success
In an interview with YouTuber Shane Dawson in 2018, Jeffrey claimed that the total annual revenue of his makeup empire exceeded $100 million.
