I have a healthy addiction to makeup. I mean, I don’t do anything crazy like wear it to work unless it’s from the night before, so as to subtly let my cubemates know that I moonlight as an alcoholic, but I try to keep up with the latest trends. I bake my face, I bought Kylie’s lip kit, and I always have a pair of spare falsies and eyelash glue on hand. But as any person who claims to be obsessed with makeup, but doesn’t actually remember the name of her concealer knows, the hottest trend in beauty right now is having a penis.
Male beauty bloggers have been on the up-and-up for awhile now, with men like Manny MUA and Jeffree Star making the rest of us look like human garbage covered in Champagne Pop. And finally, cosmetic brands are catching up to the cosmetic trends that have been circulating the ‘net for the better part of the last few years, as CoverGirl announces James Charles as its first ever male face.
Here he is fucking slaying and making you wish you were even half as skilled with a beauty blender.
The only way to possibly feel worse about his skill level compared with yours (and his Covergirl deal) is when you realize he’s only 17, at which age, you were still putting eyeliner on your water line.
James will join brand ambassador Katy Perry in promoting CoverGirl’s products in print, TV, and digital media. The first product with his stamp of approval is CG’s new So Lashy Mascara, but it’s the hope that he’ll eventually launch his own cosmetic line with the brand.
Excuse me while I wipe away last night’s stray eyeliner in shame..

What the fuck is happening to this country? Please stop normalizing this
Totally. Make America Great Again!
You’re right. Everyone should put their makeup on in private like you.
I guess I must’ve accidentally made my way over to TSM..
Didn’t read. Dumbest fucking thing I’ve seen on PGP in the two years since I created an account. Who on this site gives a shit about men’s makeup? Here comes the Buzzfeed bullshit click bait.
I don’t care if a dude wants to wear makeup. I’m just not sure what a 17 year old boy on the cover of CoverGirl has anything to do with PostGradProblems…
I try to stay positive in my comments, but PGP is going to get TFM level hate if they keep posting this dumpster fire shit that exactly zero percent of their readers can relate to.
I hope not
Madoff, I’ll always love you.
Um hello?
I would say roughly 95% of my comments don’t attack the author of a given piece, regardless of my take on it. Yeah, I called Duda an asshole once or twice but other than that I’m a pretty nice loyal follower. And if you’ll re-read above I was commenting on the content, not Veronica personally or her ability as a writer.
Grandex will not see success again, until changes are made at the top. People must be held accountable. WILL DEFRIES FOR CEO.
Whatever happened to just being a guy. Fuck.
No
You new here?
Fuck this noise.
I used to think Grandex cleaned house over the weekend but after this I’m thinking they just all quit. And I don’t blame them
Cant wait for Dudes Doing Business: Where we went wrong
Dudes Doing Business and Touching Base are the two remaining parts of PGP I can count on
You forgot TGDAG.
Back in my day…
Sad!
