James Charles calls out Wet \u2018N Wild for \u201ccopying\u201d his makeup palette James Charles, YouTubeMakeup mogul James Charles is one of YouTube\u2019s biggest beauty gurus, having released a major collaboration with makeup brand Morphe in 2018 \u2013 but this very collaboration may have resulted in a possible copycat nearly a year later. Charles\u2019 Morphe eyeshadow palette went live in November 2018 to rave reviews, with the collaboration marking yet another major YouTuber added to the company\u2019s ranks of top influencers. However, the popular palette hasn\u2019t gone without drama, as massive drugstore brand Wet \u2018N Wild appeared to release a copycat palette in September 2019. The brand\u2019s upcoming 40-color product was debuted at Ru Paul\u2019s Dragcon NYC, and showed a strikingly similar color arrangement to Charles\u2019 39-color Morphe palette \u2013 which he made sure to mention in a Tweet on September 7.
