Well that photo, in addition to his Instagram account (which boasts a whopping 443K+ followers) got the attention of iconic makeup brand CoverGirl, who (with the help of popstar and LGBT ally Katy Perry) announced James Charles as the first male CoverGirl EVER! (We wish this title was a bit more gender neutral, but we’ll take it!)

According to the press release, CoverGirls “are role models and boundary-breakers, fearlessly expressing themselves, standing up for what they believe, and redefining what it means to be beautiful.” Snaps for CoverGirl and more snaps for James everyone!
