James Charles, 17, of Bethlehem, NY, has gone viral for his incredibly glam high school yearbook photo.
Charles is an aspiring makeup artist, and after the lighting at his initial portrait sitting ruined his carefully applied look, he took matters into his own hands, scheduling a reshoot and bringing along a ring light to make sure his contouring got the documentation it deserved. Here's the result:
\u201cSo I retook my senior photos & brought my ring light with me so my highlight would be poppin. I love being extra \ud83d\udc80\u201d— James Charles (@James Charles) 1473104746
He told Buzzfeed: "The lighting was not ideal for my makeup so all my hard work at 7 a.m. didn't pay off."
Charles has quite the talent. After perusing his Instagram, we're blown away by some of his best looks--like this one:
