Another amusing fact is that he got to create his own makeup palette in collaboration with Morphe.

He said that the eyeshadows are perfect for every look he wants to create.

Being a relative newcomer in the YouTube industry, James became a sensation almost overnight.

He was only around 16 when he was pushed into the spotlight.

With fame comes great responsibility and that’s what happened with James, he was only one of the very few men in the industry which is why he had to work extremely hard to reach where he is now.

It’s true that James Charles is self-taught. Every makeup look he creates is original and since he’s been painting ever since he was a child, it has helped him explore this other side that he has.

He actually confessed that he has watched a lot of YouTube videos and practiced a lot to become perfect.

Like everyone else, hate does get to James as well. He has tried to filter out negative comments but sometimes, he does feel pretty bad when people manage to get through.
