Talia - Makeup is My Wig


Talia is 12 year old girl who LOVES to do makeup.
Five years ago, Talia was diagnosed with neuroblastoma (cancer that starts in certain types of the original nerve cells found in an embryo or fetus). She is bald from the chemo but she doesn't wear a wig. Instead, this young artist is all about makeup and her motto is "Makeup is My Wig."
Talia has a YouTube channel where she gives a variety of different makeup tutorials.
I've never seen someone so young who knows how to do makeup so well!
Talia was doing better for a while but on August 7th, she posted a new video on her VLOG that she now also has pre-leukimia in her bone marrow. There are not really any treatments for it and the prognosis is 4 months to a year if she doesn't get a bone marrow transplant. She is hesitant to continue undergoing treatment and instead wants to enjoy every minute she has.
Her one wish: To be Ellen DeGeneres' makeup artist for a day! If you want to help her, visit www.ellen.warnerbros.com/show.

There's a book called How to Start a Home-based Makeup Artist Business. I haven't read it but it wouldn't hurt. If anyone else has, let me know what you think about it.
