'I don't have any sisters so I would practice on my mom, and then when I had no one I would just practice on myself.'
"They're prettier and they have boobs and pretty faces — we've got to really paint on a pretty face every time!"Author:Cheryl WischhoverPublish date:Feb 19, 2016It's not news that Instagram and YouTube personalities have captured the attention of both consumers and brands alike, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of beauty.
Growing up in Florida, Starr was the oldest of three boys in a tight-knit Filipino family with no other relatives living close by. "I don't have any sisters so I would practice on my mom, and then when I had no one I would just practice on myself," he says. "I never really came out to my family. My family embraced it. When I was younger they would tell me not to do things, but looking back I know it was to protect me rather than break me down. They're 100% supportive.
Through meeting his fans, Starr formed a friendship with fellow boy beauty guru, Manny Gutierrez, who goes by the handle MannyMUA. "Manny was a superfan of mine. There weren't many boys [doing makeup on YouTube] at the time," Starr says. They started talking at an expo in LA in 2014 and struck up a friendship. "I had lost friends because of [being] 'Patrick Starr.' They said, 'Oh, you're too gay.' I wasn't ready for a new gay bestie.
