Excerpt from article:
He humbly describes himself as just a '19-year-old kid with some blending brushes'.
But the teenager from Bethlehem, New York State, USA, is now worth £6million and has millions of people following his beauty channel all over the world.
This weekend the vlogger made headlines in the UK when his 30-second appearance to open a cosmetic franchise 'broke Birmingham' with 8,000 fans turning up to see him at the city's Bullring centre.
It all started in 2015 when Charles, then known to his classmates as James Charles Dickinson, began uploading make-up tutorials to YouTube from a studio his contractor father built for him in the family's basement.
His devoted fanbase grew steadily until a year later in October 2016 when he made history as the first ever male face of US cosmetics brand CoverGirl.
Company bosses had spotted one of his viral posts the month before and decided to sign him up.
Charles had re-taken his senior year prom pictures to capture the full extent of his personality - and his beauty skills.
He wrote on Twitter: 'I brought my ring light with me so my highlight would be poppin. I love being extra.'
After that his following exploded and he became friends with Kim Kardashian and her sister Kylie Jennner - now boasting 13.6million followers on Instagram, 13.7million on YouTube and nearly three million on Twitter.
