The Resume

    (May 23, 1999- )
    Born in Bethlehem, New York
    Makeup artist and YouTube beauty influencer
    YouTube channel has 17.8 million subscribers (December, 2019)

Why he might be annoying:

    He tweeted a ‘joke’ worrying about contracting ebola during a trip to Africa (February 16, 2017).
    In his apology, he referred to Africa as a country.
    He mocked the gold and black mesh ensemble worn by Zoe Kravitz to the Vanity Fair Oscar party, then two months later wore an almost identical outfit to the Met Gala (2019).
    His former collaborator Tati Westbrook posted a video accusing him of disloyalty and using his fame to seduce straight men, after which his YouTube channel set a record by losing more than a million subscribers in 24 hours (May 10, 2019).
    His initial response to Westbrook jumped onto the list of the ten most disliked videos in YouTube history.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was named the first male spokesmodel for Cover Girl (2016).
    During the Africa/ebola controversy, he conceded, ‘Clearly I know very little and have a lot to learn.’
    He did the makeup for Iggy Azalea’s ‘Sally Walker’ video (2019).
    He made a second video response to Westbrook, presenting evidence that refuted many of her allegations, that regained most of his lost followers.
