Last fall, CoverGirl made history when the brand tapped beauty vlogger James Charles as its first male spokesmodel. Now another male make-up guru is getting a major campaign, this time for Maybelline New York.
Manny Gutierrez, who goes by Manny MUA on social media, has partnered with the mass-market brand with fellow influencer Shayla Mitchell on a new video promoting its just-released The Colossal Big Shot Mascara.
In the video, the pair roll around on a mascara-strewn bed before applying the product to their lashes.

Manny, who has over two million YouTube subscribers, said in a press release that he's thrilled that Maybelline is 'recognizing male influencer talent and is willing to shine a spotlight on it'.

When he started his channel in 2014, Manny took his belief that 'make-up is genderless and has no rules' and ran with it.
Before partnering with Maybelline, the vlogger worked on collaborations with influencer-loved brands Makeup Geek and Ofra Cosmetics.

James Charles Dickinson
After starting his channel at the end of 2015, the 17-year-old high school student shot to Internet stardom when his yearbook photo, where he appears with impeccably highlighted cheekbones went viral. Soon after, CoverGirl came calling.
James, who recently starred in a CoverGirl commercial alongside fellow ambassador Katy Perry, prides himself on creating out-of-the-box content such as his Snapchat galaxy filter and chunky glitter tutorials.
