Let's be honest: There aren't many makeup influencers who don't Photoshop and edit their photos. The practice is so frequent, in fact, that some have even crafted tutorials for their fans on exactly how they do it. So when social media discovered that James Charles may have pasted his face for two different photo shoots, some were surprised while others were asking "Who cares?"
So what are your thoughts? Did Charles just re-create the same face twice, or is this a case of some great Photoshopping?
James Charles is being talked about again.
The influencer, who's basically a fixture of the social media limelight, is the talk of the town once again for this makeup look right here. The intricate and precise look that featured a neutral cut-crease and fierce contour is allegedly a copy-and-pasted face from a previous look.
The faces are shockingly similar.
And while we have no doubt that the talented YouTuber is capable of creating the same look twice, Redditors have picked the two apart and are convinced it's the same photo. "You can see that the eyelashes, for instance, are too identical to pass the sniff test," one said about the exact placement of the lashes.
This isn't the first time this particular photo shoot has caused a bit of buzz.
Last month, people were convinced that the influencer Photoshopped his body to appear more shapely. Shots from behind the scenes revealed a much-less curvaceous Charles who struck a pose for his elf-on-the-shelf campaign for Morphe Cosmetics.
But who can forget that other time?
Remember Charles was attacked for copying and pasting his eyes? Many argued that the key intricacies of the difficult-to-create eye look was proof that for many of his selfies he only completes one of his eyes, then flips and pastes it. Once again, questions of the placement of the eyelashes arose.
Hey, if he's transparent about it..
Let's be real. Charles has never shied away from the fact that he uses Photoshop for his content. And while the possibility of the face being copied may be unfortunate, it's not really a surprise. Like, hey, we can't say he's not talented with the makeup brushes.
