his family was very supportive of him and accepted him as he was his parent's support and

His dad was a building contractor and when he came to know about his interest in makeup he moved his office
Which was in their home basement and helped James to build his makeup studio
There .his mom has told that when they got to know about his makeup interest
They thought James was transgender and they talked with him about this
They never wanted James to feel bad or hidden no matter what .my first thought was that
Perhaps he was transgender which would have been totally fine. But that was a whole new
unfamiliar area for me and i was nervous for him
After that James had to convince his parents that he's not transgender
He just likes to wear makeup and it's his real interest to pursue makeup in his life
James was also mentioned that it was his dad who first taught him how to do hair braiding
When James was attending high school, he started hair styling of his friends and family
He took up small hair works and one day he was doing hair styling for a girl and her makeup artist didn't come
So she asked James
to do her makeup James has later told that he agreed doing her makeup
But only on a condition that she should not tag him in her Instagram if anything goes wrong with the makeup
Well, the makeup turned out to be pretty good and he started getting into makeup more seriously
James started his Instagram page in 2015 his initial post featured girls who he'd done makeup on slowly
He started uploading his own pictures
Then he went ahead uploading trimmed videos of his makeup transformations
His followers increased gradually his insta followers started requesting him to open a YouTube channel
So finally James opened a YouTube channel as per the fan requests and he started uploading full version videos of his makeup

Said sorry for what
