Talia Castellano is 13-year-old-girl who suffered from cancer, but became an honorary CoverGirl after inspiring thousands of people with her make-up tutorials on YouTube.
Ellen DeGeneres from The Ellen Show revealed the heartbreaking news that the CoverGirl star had passed away after battling neuroblastoma for the past six years.
“We are honoured to have known Talia and grateful for all the as she showed us what was true beauty means. She inspired millions with her strengths, personality and talent. Talia has touched our CoverGirl family forever, and we’re thankful to have been a part of her life.”
“Our hearts go out to her family and friends during this difficult time.”
Talia’s YouTube Channel
This charismatic teen got her first taste of fame with her make-up tutorials on YouTube and she garnered over 15 million views on her candid clip alone. She took a bold leap with high-risk make-up tutorials such as “fire eyes”, “pink candy cane eyes”, “galaxy smoky eyes”, “ice princess” and “dramatic Ke$ha smoky eye”.
Clearly, make-up was her art form and no one can deny that.
Rest in peace, Talia. We’ll remember you always and thank you for all the hearts you’ve touched. (Source)
