James Charles Dickinson (born May 23, 1999), also known as James Charles, is an American internet personality, makeup artist, and model known for being the first male CoverGirl spokesperson.

Career

Internet personality

James launched his YouTube channel, focusing on makeup, on December 1, 2015 and has over 6 million subscribers on his YouTube channel (James Charles) and 476,501,225 views (as of July 11, 2018).[1] His Instagram currently has over 6.2 million followers (as of July 2018).[2] He has 1,217,922 followers on Twitter.[3]

James has sung in a few acappella groups and frequently showcases his voice on YouTube and Instagram videos.[4]

Modeling

On October 11, 2016, at the age of seventeen, he became the first male spokesmodel for cosmetics brand CoverGirl, working alongside brand ambassador Katy Perry.[5][6][7][8][9] As the first male spokesmodel and brand ambassador for CoverGirl, Charles will be the face of the soon-to-be launched So Lashy! by BlastPro Mascara.[10][11]

In November 2016, James was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss his role as a CoverGirl ambassador.[12][13]

In 2017, Charles walked the runway for MarcoMarco's Six 1/2 collection during Los Angeles Fashion Week.[14][15]

Personal life

James is gay; he came out at age twelve while in middle school.[16] He is from Bethlehem, New York and graduated from Bethlehem Central High School in June 2017, with CoverGirl's slogan, "Easy, Breezy, Beautiful", emblazoned across his graduation cap.[17][18][19]

Controversies

In February 2017, Charles caused controversy when he tweeted an offensive joke about Africa and Ebola. He later issued an apology by stating; "I am extremely sorry for what I said. There are no excuses. No one owes me forgiveness, but I've learned a lot from the experience. I hope that the people who might look up to me will be able to learn from my mistakes and not repeat them.”[20]

In March 2017, Charles caused controversy again when YouTube make-up artist Thomas Halbert posted screenshots of previous conversations with Charles where he admitted his story regarding his rise in notability was falsified. Charles originally claimed he had his high school prom photographs retaken with a ring light,[21] however the conversation revealed that he had actually edited the photographs and contacted the photographer.[22]
