What James Charles Really Looks Like Underneath All That Makeup

Writer Emma Terry

As a beauty YouTuber, James Charles' videos often begin with him showing us his bare face. But the young influencer is also known to post makeup-free selfies and photos where he at least appears mostly bare-faced. From selfies on Instagram, we know Charles' skin is dotted with adorable freckles and moles. 

In this selfie we can see that he isn't immune to the occasional breakout. In another, we can clearly see the pattern of Charles' 5 o'clock shadow, moles, and some under-eye darkness. In yet another pic — captioned "it's been a while since i posted a no makeup photo" — Charles shows off his freckles and brushed brows. According to Seventeen, the creator often appears 100% makeup-free on Instagram stories but sometimes appears to be wearing minimal makeup to emphasize his features in photos on Instagram.

He also shares more candid, less filtered photos on Twitter. In December 2017, he uploaded a selfie where his face appears swollen "This is so funny but also extremely inconvenient and scary what do I do," he captioned the snap.
