The 23-year-old openly gay makeup artist has loved drawing portraits since childhood. So his love for beautiful faces was never a question.

However, his first foray into the world of beauty was through hairstyling, as his father used to teach him how to braid hair when he was a little boy.

One of the biggest makeup stars of today, James originally got into makeup by accident. It was only when his best friend was running late for her makeup appointment that he first picked up a makeup brush.

Just at the age of 17, James Charles Dickinson made it to the cover of Covergirl's Magazine, becoming the first boy to do so and quickly became a hype among the favorite beauty vloggers in the industry.

It's fascinating how a boy who originally learned and practiced makeup from YouTube videos now has his own YouTube channel with over 24 million subscribers where makeup tutorials are done.

However, he was in a big feud with his mentor in 2020.

James Charles's Feud with Former Mentor

Tati Westbrook was a motherly figure and a mentor to James, who even helped him boost his YouTube career. Although James was a YouTuber long before he met Tati, his appearance on Tati's video made him known to a broader audience.

But, James went behind her to promote Tati's rival company, Sugar Bears. In retreat, Tati shared a 43-minute-long video called BYE SISTER, accusing James of betraying her.

She even claimed that he often used his power and position to trick straight men into thinking they were gay.

A woman named Zara Larson also claimed that James had tried to flirt with her boyfriend and ask him out. Soon after, James released an apology video asking forgiveness from his mentor, but Tati seemed to have more effect on the internet community than him.

James quickly lost nearly three million subscribers, a big blow to the uprising YouTuber.

But, he released a second video and asked fans to judge the issue based on both sides. Meanwhile, Tati's subscriber count had skyrocketed, making viewers suspicious of her motives.

Zara also apologized publicly to James for making false accusations. After the matter was resolved, James regained both his previous supporters and some new ones.

However, this was not the end of the troubles James faced. He had a lot of issues when it came to his love life.
