Edward Avila’s Bio, Age
Born Edward Avila on April 2, 1992, the beauty vlogger’s birthplace is in California, the United States of America. Avila is obviously of American nationality but belongs to the American-Filipino ethnicity. He spent his early years in his hometown in California but after he came of age, he moved to Seoul, Korea all by himself, sometime in 2013. He has also lived in Germany for about four years.
The media is not overflowing with information about his educational background, however, it appears Avila is well educated from what could be gathered from his online activities.
In 2006, while he was still living in the US, Edward Avila launched his YouTube channel under the name mrpanda101. Then, his main focus wasn’t beauty and its related topics, like he has made it his mainstay these days. At the time, the video sharing was the thing and the blogger didn’t want to be left out in the trend thus he joined the community. He mostly posted videos of his friends and also shared his random or creative contents, but nothing much about beauty, i.e. if he posted anything on the topic at all.
However, when he became a senior in high school, Avila sought ways to deal with his acne, which has started popping up then. He resorted to makeup, thus, redirecting his focus to what would become his mainstay and signature. From learning how to deal with acne, he also wanted to know how to cover up dark circles and breakouts. The answer came with inspiration through another YouTuber, Michelle Phan in one of his vlogs where he was showing men how they can use makeup. Edward Avila decided to taste the deep waters of vlogging and has not had a cause to look back since then even with the several controversies he has brewed in the course of his career.
Far from the days when he used makeup to cover his seeming blemishes which actually led him to beauty vlogging, Edward Avila now thinks of the art as a way of putting out one’s best, enhanced version of oneself to the world. He renamed his channel to Edward Avila and now posts his K-pop idols inspired looks. He also draws inspirations from other makeup artists as well as seasons and weather which inspires the moods he displays.
