Youtuber James Charles is charging €450 for his workshop and people aren’t happy

I’m sorry, how much?

Youtuber and makeup guru James Charles will soon be holding an event for his fans where they can learn all his tips and tricks and receive a fabulous goodie bag.

The only problem is the tickets to attend this event are $500 (€450).

The 19-year-old announced that he will be touring across the USA much to the delight of his young fans.

The delight came to a screeching halt however when the parents of his fans found out just how much it would cost them to send their child along.

Some screenshots were captured (the comment function on the post seems to have been turned off since) of parents asking why exactly they should pay so much.

The teen influencer insists that the goodie bag alone is worth the cost of the ticket but many still aren’t convinced.

At the end of the day, of course, no one has to buy tickets to see him but high-cost events like this do put parents under a lot of pressure, especially as Charles’ fan base is predominately teens.

Personally, I don’t think it’s worth the price, especially since you could take up a part-time makeup course for around the same price. It would want to be some goodie bag.
