Embattled beauty blogger James Charles pals around with Kylie Jenner and Stormi at a friend's birthday party
He's been consumed by scandal after allegedly sliding into the DMs of straight men and abandoning his friends to advertise for their competitors.
But James Charles seemed to be weathering the storm as he spent the day with Kylie Jenner, 21, and her one-year-old daughter Stormi.
The 20-year-old make-up artist seemed to be in a good mood as he joined the festivities at a birthday party for the three-year-old daughter of fellow YouTubers Catherine Paiz and Austin McBroom, known online as the ACE Family.

Though he's a make-up wiz and the first male ambassador for CoverGirl, Charles eschewed his usual heavily made-up look for a more understated vibe.
James is friends with fellow YouTubers Catherine and Austin, and recorded a video with the couple in November that garnered 11 million views on YouTube.

Keep it stylish like Kylie in an Alexander Wang print jacket
Kylie Jenner looked s-s-seriously stylish in a snakeskin ensemble as she stepped out to celebrate a friend's birthday with her baby Stormi.
Always one to stay one step ahead of the fashion-pack (there's just no keeping up with Kylie!), the reality star's outfit happens to be in this season's key print. Of course, animal patterns never stray too far from the trend spotlight but snake print is having a real moment this time around.
Kylie's co-ord is by Alexander Wang, featuring cropped jeans and a longline denim coat. If you're a fan, click (right) to shop the cover-up then complete the look with the rest of Kylie's outfit below!

Fast friends: The vlogger was previously spotted Tuesday at Kylie's ornate launch party for her new skincare line
James was also featured on the video, showing off his clear-skinned look and serenading the birthday girl with a particularly dramatic rendition of Happy Birthday.

His appearance came after he hemorrhaged three million YouTube subscribers following a tiff with his former friend, mentor and fellow YouTube make-up guru Tati Westbrook.
The drama began when James began advertising a product that competed with his mentor Tati's own products, which she considered to be a betrayal.
In videos shared with her subscribers, she outlined the breakdown in their relations, while also accusing him of telling lies about her and coming on to straight men.
Singer Zara Larsson subsequently accused James of sending a private message to her boyfriend, which she interpreted as a flirtation.
