Oh! These are juicy questions. I'm kind of loving this little tea time moment
hello
I don't even drink tea to be honest it's
more of like mmm tea
[unknown sound]
That was my shoe
I promise
I promise that was my shoe
Hi Sisters! James Charles here and today I am in London
For tea time with Cosmo UK
[music]
Let's go
Hit me with it
Oh, I think that I don't care and I think
that I minded my own business as one
should and I stayed in my own lane
The biggest piece of advice that I give
to everybody joining the industry
whenever they ask me is mind your own
business
worry about yourself and through being
kind to others and being supportive of
others and staying out of the drama you
will succeed promise you that
[sips tea]
Oops
Off to a great start
That's a loaded question
Um
I think that a lot of the things that I said when I was
younger people realised were when I was
12 and it's inevitable that people grow
and change
Over time I have shown my
true colours and people have seen what
I've done with my platform whether
it be helping everybody out or building
other artists up or fighting for
inclusivity on different launches and
it's important for me to preach that as
well and be able to show that to my
young followers as well because I think
mistakes are in human nature and
everyone's going to make mistakes and
the only thing that we can do for them
is look at what happened and learn and
grow to be bigger and better people and
I can definitely confidently say that I
have for mine and that's been the I
preached on my platform and I hope that
a lot of other people can see and do as
well
If I had to pick just one probably my
recent collaboration with Morphy we
released the first ever James Charles palette and brush set and it has been
sold out worldwide literally every
single time it's restocked I think it's
been three times now which is so beyond
crazy
Oh in the palette? Well there is a shade
called 'Tea' it's dark brown. There's no
'Tea' behind it it's just the colour of Tea or
what colour is Tea? I don't even drink tea
to be honest it's more of like 'mmm tea.' This type of tea that we have going on in
this video today.
Maybe like punch me I've had a lot of questions about
like why is there shade name punch me? But it actually stems from two of my best friends
Ethan and Grayson Dolan. Before we were
all best friends I used to leave
comments on their Instagram pictures
asking them to punch me because I
thought they were hot and now they're two of my best friends in the entire world so I
wanted to name a shade named after how that
friendship started
That was punch me
Oh! These are juicy questions!
Kind of loving this little tea time moment
I was planning on doing a YouTube
behind-the-scenes documentary for a very
very long time but after a lot of
thought I've decided no not to I feel
like it's a conversation that we aren't
really ready to have yet and I feel like
it would really ruin a lot of the facade
that people are able to enjoy as fans so
I just don't think it's like necessary
to bring that stuff out I think as time
progresses the honest truth will always
come out and I think that that doesn't
need to be through me releasing a
documentary so no but you never know
what will happen in the future
Yeah! It's not the best community in the
world I will say I love being a part of
it and I have met a lot of incredible
people from it but there's also a lot of
people that are in it for the wrong
reasons
so yes I do find it hard but when you
kind of experience a lot of it you do
get a good sense of how to pick the good
ones from the bad and I'm blessed to have a
lot of really good ones around me.
Oh! Probably those like stupid drops that
people put on before they do their
makeup that like just.. Do you know what I'm
talking about? They're so dumb. They do
absolutely nothing. Like the holographic
iridescent drops. It's also my biggest pet peeve when
people use those and then put on like a
full coverage matte foundation over top
like what are you doing? You're just
adding on extra products to your face
for literally no reason!
But that's just me there's no rules to makeup of course
Oh!
Ummmm
I guess this past Beauty Con in Los
Angeles I actually went to the
convention in full prosthetic
special-effects disguise and I tried to
interview other influencers as somebody
else but I had a major anxiety attack
talking to people because a lot of
people were incredibly rude from the
industry behind the scenes and it was
very like I don't really get nervous in
public ever but that for me was like
something triggered me inside I think it
just was like I've worked so hard to get
to where I am today in the industry and
like going there in disguise was like
wiping it all away and I had to like
start over somebody else I don't know I
do get a lot of confidence from... I get
confidence from my work and knowing that
like I've been able to inspire people
both fans and other influencers so that
was like a really dark moment for me
I'm working on like my own personal journey
to find a confidence without like my
name attached if that makes sense like
it's confidence from within
It's a special video to me because like I
learned a lot from it and I was able to
kind of be open and talk about what
happened but it was also like a
nightmare during the actual filming
process so that's probably the craziest
thing I've ever done and I will never do
that again
You guys it looks like that is
