Patrick Starrr

Parents need to know that Patrick Starrr's YouTube channel features makeup tutorials, get ready with me videos, and vlogs centered around beauty and makeup. Patrick leads his channel with kindness and comes off as genuine, despite his seemingly lavish lifestyle. Although makeup and beauty is the main focus, this is marketed more as a fun enhancement and creative outlet, as opposed to a means of hiding your true self or as an unhealthy beauty standard. Instead, this channel aims to present makeup as a form of culture and works to break stereotypes of who can or can't use makeup. Major themes across this channel are integrity, compassion, community and inclusion. As a Filipino-American, Patrick uses his platform to share his pride in his culture as well as his queer identity. He tries to create a safe space for others through his channel as well as his related social media channels. It's important to note that this channel is full of product placement and advertisements, especially for Patrick Starrr's beauty line. Many of the tutorials require viewers to purchase makeup and beauty tools they don't already have, which may not be available to everyone watching. In some videos featuring and celebrating drag culture, realistic prosthetic breasts are shown but are not sexualized. Overall this channel is fun and inclusive.
