I am so beyond excited and overwhelmed and happy and astonished and of course, SHOOK, to announce that I am the newest face of @covergirl. First ever male ambassador for the brand and I am so honored and excited to be working with such an iconic brand.

A spokesperson for CoverGirl told the Huffington Post:

"All of our COVERGIRLs are role models and boundary-breakers, fearlessly expressing themselves, standing up for what they believe, and redefining what it means to be beautiful,’ said CoverGirl in a press release. "James Charles is no exception. "One year ago, he boldly chose to launch his Instagram to the world, using transformative, dynamic makeup looks to showcase the many facets of his personality, serving as an inspiration to women, men, guys and girls who might have been afraid to do the same."

It’s official: so excited to welcome @JCharlesBeauty to the COVERGIRL family. ❤️ Show your support for James by regramming his COVERGIRL vid using #COVERGIRLJames!
