Meet CoverGirl's Newest Spokesmodel, James Charles!

Instagram and YouTube sensation, James Charles, is CoverGirl's newest brand ambassador. The 17-year-old boy from New York was recently announced as the cosmetic line's newest face for promoting a new mascara.

The announcement was made on Katy Perry's Instagram. Perry, who is a CoverGirl brand ambassador herself, captioned the photo, "Just wrapped another great @COVERGIRL shoot. Honored to announce the very first COVERBOY, James Charles! Follow him at @JCharlesBeauty!"

In a press release from CoverGirl, the brand stated that Charles would be promoting its newest mascara, "So Lashy." The mascara is designed to work on all lash types, making Charles an excellent choice for the face of the line. "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," read the press release, "James Charles is no exception. One year ago, he boldly chose launch his Instagram to the world, using transformative, dynamic makeup looks to showcase the many facets of his personality, serving as an inspiration to anyone who might have been afraid to do the same."

Charles rose to fame in a little over a year, beginning with the creation of his Instagram account, followed by his starting a YouTube account. He now has over 576,000 Instagram followers and 89,000 YouTube followers. His popularity surged after he posted his fabulous senior pictures to his Twitter account. In an Instagram post released following the big announcement, Charles thanked his CoverGirl and his followers for the support: "THE SECRETS OUT...so beyond excited to finally announce that I am the new face of #COVERGIRL and the first ever coverBOY," he wrote. "I am so thankful and excited and cannot wait to show you all what we have in store."

The introduction of a male brand ambassador for a massive makeup company is a huge step toward normalizing men wearing makeup and bringing this topic into the public eye. Just as Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift and other CoverGirl brand ambassadors have been idols for young people to look up to, so will James Charles.

Fans will have to wait until later this month to see him officially debut CoverGirl's new mascara. The launch will include TV, print and digital components.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
