Supermodel extraordinaire and our everyday fashion inspo Gigi Hadid recently announced her first makeup collaboration with Maybelline, so naturally everyone was pretty flipping excited. But Friday’s U.K. launch of the Gigi x Maybelline Jetsetter Palette—which includes two concealers, two lip balms, four eyeshadows, one blush, one matte bronzer, one highlighter and one mini mascara—turned out to be pretty disappointing.
While the palette did sell out in 90 minutes, and while its package does have that millennial pink hue we love so much, the makeup world promptly clapped back with an onslaught of questions upon seeing pics and learning the price of the prod.
First and foremost, a lot of people are saying the palette looks like literal child’s play…
The Gigi Hadid x Maybelline palette looks like one of those fake make up palettes you would play “pretend” with when you were 3

Not only does the quality look questionable, but it only comes in one shade—cough, it’s super light—and that simply doesn’t fly (Team RiRi 4Ever)
I never thought it was possible for makeup to look like it needed seasoning until I saw the Gigi hadid x maybelline palette

Sadly, the palette won’t be coming to Canada, so we can’t test if for ourselves. We’ll need to wait and see the rest of the collection when it lands in Canadians stores on November 5 to make up our minds about Gigi’s makeup.
