Three words: Talented, artistic and funny! Just a few words to describe (arguably) this generation’s top beauty guru … James Charles. James has taken the beauty world by storm, despite all of the controversy surrounding him. He began doing makeup only a year ago at a fresh 18-years-old. Charles’ career skyrocketed when he had a picture taken with a fan and his face was PURE white due to the powder he had used. The moment inspired countless memes, and quickly brought Charles to the top. This led to his campaign as the first ever male CoverGirl! He has surpassed over 10 million followers in less than a year between Instagram and Youtube, thanks to his relatable personality. His videos range from crazy, unconventional looks to beautiful golden glam with faux freckles!
