Talia Joy Castellano, the charming teen that inspired
thousands with her YouTube make-up tutorials, died at 13 of cancer.
With wise beauty tips and an inspirational story, Talia
became an Internet sensation and captivated many with her extensive cosmetic
knowledge as well as her experience fighting two forms of aggressive cancer:
neuroblastoma and preleukemia. On Tuesday, a message appeared on the teen’s
Facebook page announcing her death.
#prayfortalia It is with a heavy heart that we share with all of you that Talia has earned her wings at 11:22am. Please lift her beautiful soul, her beautiful light to heaven and please send your love and prayers to her family during this most difficult time. God speed little one, may you be free from pain and suffering, may your soul feel the light and love that you brought to so many of us on this Earth during the short time you were her with us. We will miss you more than you will ever know baby girl.
On her YouTube channel, taliajoy18, Talia demonstrated great
skill with matte bronzer, eyeliner, false eyelashes and more. Despite losing
her hair to chemotherapy, the teen’s profile shows a photo of Talia with “Make
Up Is My Wig” colorfully written on her head.
The teen's YouTube channel, which included make-up tutorials
and personal video blogs about her cancer treatments, has over 750,000
subscribers.
"YouTube, and all the support that I get from everyone
telling me that I'm inspiring and not to give up, it really makes you stop and
think about how many people there are that love you... You're not there
alone," Talia told Shira Lazar, co-founder of WhatsTrending, in August
2012.
In September, Ellen DeGeneres invited the Florida native to
appear on her show and revealed that Talia had been chosen to be an honorary
CoverGirl.
