Selena Gomez critisised for promoting her brand amid Taylor Swift's wedding

While Selena Gomez looked absolutely beautiful, one aspect of the shared video didn't sit well with netizens. In the video Selena shared, she could be seen using her Rare Beauty lip colour and even tagged the brand in the post. For the unversed, in a short video clip filmed in the back of a car, the Heart Wants What It Wants singer could be seen applying a lipstick from her Rare Beauty cosmetics line while wearing a glamorous, strapless black gown. She followed the footage with a close-up photograph clearly showcasing the lip product. 

While Selena happily flaunted her picture-perfect look, fans pointed out that Taylor Swift has been keeping her entire wedding a secret, and her post using the event to promote her brand could risk the secrecy. Fans questioned Selena's intention, with some even calling her out for using her friend's wedding for her business's gain. Critics flooded the comments to call out the actress, with one disgruntled fan writing, "Using other women's success for relevancy….stay away from her."  Another viewer wrote, "Yesss use your best friend's wedding to sell makeup."
