Manuel Gutierrez (born April 4, 1991)[6], known professionally as Manny MUA, is a make-up artist, YouTuber, and beauty blogger.[4] He is the first male brand ambassador for make-up brand Maybelline.[1][4] He has a social media presence that includes 4 million subscribers on YouTube and over 4 million followers on Instagram.[2] As of July 2018 his YouTube channel has received over 375 million views.

Career

Gutierrez first became interested in make-up after watching his mother do her make-up during his childhood.[7] He later worked at Sephora and MAC.[1] He began his YouTube channel in 2014.[7] He regularly posts make-up tutorials, make-up first impressions, and beauty tips.[7] He has collaborated with Makeup Geek on an eye-shadow palette, Ofra Cosmetics on lip products, and Jeffree Star Cosmetics on two highlighters and 2 lipsticks. [8]

In 2017, Gutierrez and fellow YouTuber Shayla Mitchell were announced as brand ambassadors for Maybelline, specifically Colossal Big Shot Mascara.[1][9] He is the first male brand ambassador for the brand.[1][4] He is the second male to be chosen as a spokesperson for a beauty brand after James Charles who had been previously announced as a spokesperson for CoverGirl in October 2016.[1] Later that year, Gutierrez and his ex-friend Jeffree Star announced a collaboration for Star's make-up brand to debut in April.[10] After the announcement, Black Moon Cosmetics sued the duo for copyright and trademark infringement alleging that they had copied their logo without permission.[11] The lawsuit was later resolved.[11] In April 2017, Gutierrez was the only male to make People magazine's annual "Most Beautiful" list.[4][2] In 2018, he was named to Forbes' annual list of "30 under 30" in the Arts and Style category.[2] In 2018, Manny was announced to star in Escape The Night Season 3 as the Record Producer.

Personal life

Gutierrez grew up in a Mormon family and has two younger brothers.[6][7] He identifies himself as gay[7] and has described being sent to therapy as a teenager to "reverse the effects of being gay", though he was allowed to stop after six months as he became depressed during the ineffective treatment.[7][8]

Before deciding on a career in beauty, Gutierrez planned to attend medical school with aspirations of becoming a plastic surgeon.[1][8] He has a Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University.[2]

He lives in Los Angeles, California.[4] He has vitiligo.[12]
