I fell into makeup by accident, but I found my love for it, and once I realized that I could actually turn it into a huge business, that's when I started taking it a little bit more seriously, but it's always something that I knew could be something.

My style, I'd definitely describe as athleisure with a twist of gay, which I really, really live for.

I've always wanted to create athleisure; it's my thing.

I really hope that, as the first male CoverGirl, that I am able to inspire others and give other people confidence to try out makeup! Hey, if a random 17-year-old guy can do it, you definitely can, too!

Classic glam is beautiful and will never go out of style, but I like to try to push the envelope and create something new and inspiring.

I always like to pop on a Lilly Lash in the style Miami.

I used to do hair styling before I even thought about joining the makeup world!

I have pretty defined features: huge brows, very small eyelids, and a chunky nose. I love them all, but they're definitely not the easiest things to work with when it comes to makeup, so I've really had to practice and see what I like on myself!

Faux-freckles are definitely a James Charles touch to any makeup look. I love adding them and have seen so many other people start trying them as well! They're so cute!

I get a lot of fans who deal with poor mental health. But that's the good thing about the Internet - that there are so many kids who can confide together and help each other out.

I started my account to post pictures of client makeup I did to get more gals during prom season. I never in a million years would've expected to be where I am today, or even working with CoverGirl.

My only trick to having wing liner sharp enough to cut is be careful and take your time! I have hooded eyes, so I draw my wings more outwards as opposed to upwards so they accentuate my eye shape better.

I feel like somebody who just is very understanding is my biggest thing - timing is a major issue for me - but also funny! Obviously I want someone really cute and fun and fresh for good Instagram pictures and that just makes me really happy.

My brows have definitely underwent quite the transformation since I started doing makeup. They used to be disgusting, and now they're a lot better, and I'm happy with them.

I only want to put out the best for myself and my subscribers.

When I first started off doing makeup, I used to use literally the most intense, cement, full-coverage makeup ever, but I realized, hey, if you're working really hard on your skincare routine, you don't need this.

I'm very bad at talking to boys. I'm not that great at it.

Makeup is where my career is going, but I would love to also indulge in music. It's still one of my absolute favorite things in the world.

My passion is creating and marketing. That's what I'm really, really good at, and that's what I find the most stimulating for my brain to work on, so that's what I really, really want to do as opposed to product creation.

CoverGirl putting my face on such an international scale did make a huge leap forward for men in makeup and for boys in beauty and for anybody wanting to express themselves.
