So, how exactly did the influencer get started in the makeup industry? "At one of my best friend's hair appointments, she was late for her makeup appointment so she asked me to do it," Charles told Seventeen. "I was like 'OK girl, I'll do it, but if it looks awful, do not tag me in that Instagram picture."
Obviously, he nailed it. "She ended up posting a picture and she loved it and everybody was like, 'Oh my God, this looks so good,'" he admitted, adding, "so I ordered a basic starter set online and I started practicing on clients." And the rest is history.
It's safe to say, doing his friend makeup and pursuing it as a career is probably the best thing he ever did. Not only is he the first ever male ambassador for CoverGirl, he's collaborated with the Kardashians and in 2018, he won a People's Choice Award for Beauty Influencer of the Year (via The Cut). Did we mention he's only 21 years old?
