I've always been consumed by things that are out of this world, like space and moons.

To me, being beautiful is just accepting myself. I feel beautiful when I'm wearing makeup; I feel beautiful when I'm not wearing makeup.

Sometimes people have to go through hard times just to get to a happy place.

Everyone grows at their own pace, and you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone.

I feel like lip balm is something that you need to have. The worst thing ever is having dry lips.

I've gone through all of it: I've literally heard every single name in the book be told to me. So don't be discouraged by anyone as long as you're confident in yourself, and just keep doing what you're doing.

I want people to see that you don't need to rely on other people to make your dreams happen: you have to grab them yourself.

I'm a beauty person on YouTube, and I'm very, very, very hyper-aware of things, and I like to dive into products and just really go in and hone in on products - whether I think they're worth the money or not.

When I was a young boy, I would watch my mom apply her makeup, so one day, I took a lipstick she had and put it on my mouth, trying to imitate her. It ended up all over my face.

Beauty can grow as a whole, since you shouldn't copy other people.

I was very sheltered growing up, so the only real beauty exposure I had was my mom. And still, to this day, she is my number 1 beauty icon.

I decided to start my channel because my followers on Instagram told me that they wanted to learn how I did the looks I was wearing! So I started YouTube for my Mannyacs, and the rest is history!

Looks aren't everything, obviously, but there really is something to putting on a full face of makeup and really feeling the glam!

At the end of the day, makeup comes off whether you're a man or a woman; why discriminate against men, when makeup is such an amazing form of artistic expression, just because society says it's not 'normal?'

I think that the social media space is great because that's where my bread and butter is, but I want to jump into doing traditional media and other fun things.

I want to act. That'd be so much fun.

I always thought makeup was a beautiful thing, the transformation of it. If someone felt insecure about something, they could put on concealer, and it would change their entire day.

I love using blotting paper when people are oily in the T-zone.

You can always use a toilet seat cover from the stall. It will absorb excess oil, and if you add powder on top, your makeup will be completely refreshed - even if you've been wearing makeup for 6 hours. It's a cool trick to get your makeup looking perfect all over again.

It was hard to get my name out there, but luckily, I have an awesome following who would not stay silent and helped me get to where I wanted to be.

I'm a member of the LGBTQ community, and I feel like we need more representation. In the makeup world, especially, it's always been really, really hard for men in beauty to kind of be seen in a way beyond being a 'fad.'
