Method

James Charles starts posting tutorials in December 2015 and CoverGirl makes him its first male ambassador in October 2016, ten months in. The Morphe Sister Collection palette and Sisters Apparel both launch in November 2018. In May 2019 the Tati Westbrook video costs him a million subscribers in 24 hours. In April 2021 Morphe ends the partnership over messages with minors and YouTube demonetizes him. He launches Painted cosmetics independently in 2022 but partnerships stay far below the 2018 peak.
