Meet the first ever CoverBoy, James Charles

We are ecstatic that CoverGirl *finally* has its first male representative: 17-year-old YouTuber James Charles has become the first CoverBoy. James' makeup career started about a year ago when a friend needed her makeup done before school (#relatable), and he hasn't stopped since instantly falling in love with the art. (His YouTube channel, launched on December 1, 2015, already has over 75,000 followers!)

James encourages people to break gender norms and be comfortable in their own skin, and his story shows just how powerful that can be. He hopes his CoverGirl achievement shows that “anyone and everyone can wear makeup and can do anything if you work hard.” Not only do we *love* James Charles’ amazing accomplishment and can-do attitude, but his makeup tutorials are amazing. Check out some of our faves below: 

His Chunky Glitter Festival Makeup Tutorial is great for a mystical mermaid Halloween costume.

Rock the galaxy trend with James’ Snapchat Filter Makeup Tutorial.

Don't let the name fool you: This Summer Glow + Bold Lip Makeup Tutorial is perfect for a night out, any time of the year.
