A livestreamer in China is under fire for his response to a viewer complaining about the price of an eyebrow pencil.
Li Jiaqi told the viewer to reflect on whether they have been "working hard enough" if their salary hasn't increased in years.
In response, the 31-year-old — known as China's "Lipstick King" — told the viewer to do some soul-searching on why they found the beauty product expensive.
Still, Li has collectively lost over 1.5 million followers from Taobao Live and Weibo, China's Sixth Tone publication reported Tuesday.
The event takes place on November 11 and is so popular that it even dwarfs Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
