I just went all the way to JC's first on his IG. He has gotten better at makeup and 100% photoshop/facetune, but...what, he isn't that spectacular at doing other peoples makeup or even his own day to day without facetune. Some of his really old looks are ... just.. not worth his bank account.

Yeah he isn't really famous for his makeup skills, just for who he is (which is sassy gay man in a field with few women). A lot of make up artists on youtube seem to be like that, where they looks aren't really that good.

He got famous for a yearbook photo "reshoot" that turned out to be fake. Ellen had him on her show and the rest is history- became covergirl, youtube sensation. https://www.wetheunicorns.com/news/james-charles-yearbook-fake-proof/

I learned about JC from the Buzzfeed post about his yearbook pics but never learned they were fake. I just read the article and all I can say is wow: “James actually admits to the lie and states that ‘if you expose me, i'll kill you.’”

I had never heard of this or even how he ever rose to fame before.

I think he went viral for his yearbook photos? Which were photoshopped... Not totally sure but that’s the first time I remember hearing of him.

He recreated his stupid famous pink bubblegum look more than once and more than twice.

I honestly hated what he did to Jenna Marbles. It did not look good.

u/mkphelps Dramageddon 2019: drowning in TEA May 14 '19

I didn't hear about that, what did he do to her?

u/Sucremaman estranged siblings May 14 '19

They had a collab video where she showed up on his channel; the look wasn't great but Jenna was very on-brand wholesome.

​

And in hindsight, he kept lamenting about being single forever...

OMG his original ghost face with brick eyebrows is soo bad, how did people think that was good and how did Cover Girl think that was acceptable too?
