In addition to being a YouTuber and musician, Jeffree Star is also the founder of Jeffree Star Cosmetics, a makeup brand that was recently named the second most popular beauty website, according to Women's Wear Daily.

If you've ever wanted to try a product from the brand, now is your chance.

On Wednesday, Star began a giveaway in which he's choosing people to receive packages full of free makeup from Jeffree Star Cosmetics.

The giveaway began after on Twitter after a user shared a photo of a box they seemingly received from Star, which was full of new lip glosses. Star then responded, saying "Love you too!! Who else should I add to the #JeffreeStarCosmetics PR list???"

Tweets quickly began pouring in, and the hashtag "JeffreeStarPRList" trended. Over the course of the night, Star had added eight people to his list.

The giveaway continued Thursday morning, and Star proceeded to promise another four people with free makeup.

Some fans, however, acknowledged the vast number of tweets being sent to Star, and made light of the low odds they faced.

This isn't the first time Star has given away free makeup. On May 12, the makeup mogul offered to send beauty packages to a 40-year-old cosmetologist who urged makeup brands to start "accepting older women."

While it's unclear how many more people, if any, Star will add to his list, it seems the makeup mogul is rewarding some of his fans by treating those who have shared photos of their standout makeup looks.

Representatives for Jeffree Star did not immediately reply to INSIDER's request for comment.
