The six contestants for "Instant Influencer," the new beauty influencer reality competition series hosted by James Charles, have finally been revealed.

The series, which premieres on YouTube on April 24, will challenge these up-and-coming influencers to see who has what it takes to earn the crown of the next biggest beauty guru.

There's a huge range in follower counts among the six contestants, which is something Charles, an executive producer for the series, said he wanted to ensure. "The ranking of how everybody performed was not determined by their follower counts in any way, shape or form," he told Insider in a phone interview, adding that he wanted to bring "smaller influencers into the light and seeing who really has what it takes, regardless of follower count."

Charles said that he's really excited about who won the series. "They are an incredibly talented individual," he said. "I cannot wait for the viewers to follow all of the contestants' journeys, but especially the winner as well."

Here are the six contestants and what to know about their YouTube channels ahead of the series premiere.
