Katy Perry attends Barneys New York, Jennifer Aniston, and Tobey Maguire host a private dinner to celebrate The Barneys New York XO Jennifer Meyer Exclusive RTW Collaboration on Nov. 18, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.

CoverGirl announced this morning that their newest CoverGirl to work with brand ambassador Katy Perry is, in fact, a CoverBoy. His name is James Charles, and thanks to some serious cheekbone highlighting skills and a year-old Instagram account with over 430k followers, the 17 year-old -- that's right, a senior in high school -- will now make beauty history.

The announcement came in classic millennial fashion, with multiple selfie videos and photos posted on Katy Perry's, CoverGirl's and James Charles' Instagram accounts. In one video, posted on Covergirl's account, Charles introduced himself: "Hey guys, my name is James Charles and I'm a 17-year-old makeup artist! Today I am living out one of my biggest dreams and I'm currently on set for my first-ever TV commercial with CoverGirl. That's right, I am a new CoverGirl."
