US YouTuber James Charles touched down in Australia on Friday, dressed for comfort as he was spotted leaving Brisbane Airport.
The controversial beauty influencer, 26, was all smiles as he strutted through the airport wearing a set of grey sweats.
He added a pair of comfortable white sneakers to the casual look, stopping to chat and pose for photos with some fans.
At one point, the US star put up a peace sign as he pushed his luggage out to the pick-up area, flashing his pearly whites with a broad grin.
James is currently in Australia to celebrate Thanksgiving with his fans on the Gold Coast, hosting a dinner for select people to promote his makeup brand Painted.
The event will include a dinner with 30 contest winners and their plus-ones as part of a local brand launch.

James also shared a video and images to Instagram which showed him visiting his brand new Painted warehouse on the Gold Coast.
The sighting comes after the YouTuber was blasted online in July for having a meltdown over truncated domes, which help the visually impaired navigate sidewalks and venues.
In a now-deleted video, the makeup artist launched into a foul-mouthed rant about the ground surface indicators, repeatedly complaining about having to roll his suitcase or grocery cart over them.
‘Whatever f***ing bump, s*** f***ing stupid a** things they put outside grocery stores and airports,’ James began.
‘Like what is the purpose of them, can someone genuinely explain it to me if you were like a f***ing civil engineer.
‘Why on God’s green earth have I just spent $200 on f***ing groceries but I want to roll them over those f***ing bumps and give my entire cart a seizure.’
After impersonating his carton of eggs going over the bumps, a visibly frustrated James then quipped: ‘Why? What the f***. Literally, what the f***.’
He continued: ‘When you go to the airport, why have I got to roll my luggage over that s*** and have everything jumping around inside?’

‘It’s having a seizure. Stop. It doesn’t make any sense to me. What is the point? What is the point of those f***ing bumps other than making everyone’s life miserable. Can somebody tell me?’ he continued.
Social media users wasted no time attempting to educate him on truncated domes, which are ground surface indicators designed to help those who are blind or visually impaired.
Also known as detectable warnings or tactile paving, these raised surfaces create a distinctive pattern that can be felt underfoot or with a cane, alerting pedestrians to changes in surface level or potential hazards such as street crossings.
While James has since deleted his rant-fuelled video, social media users were left furious by his lack of knowledge and his ‘privilege’.
Taking to Reddit, one slammed: ‘I didn’t know I could hate him more, but here we go. I think it’s great the city implemented those for the visually impaired.
‘I will never understand his anger. When my city decided to put that in the subway, I thought it was a great safety idea that benefits everyone.’
