RIP Ariel51makeup

[kokorenchuGeek]

Sometime last year I met Ariel on makeupgeek and we chatted a bit about makeup. We became facebook friends, occasionally interacting. Though we weren’t especially close, it was clear that Ariel was an exceptional girl with incredible talent for makeup artistry. Her beautiful work was eyecatching and inspiring (at least for me) For that, I felt it would be appropriate to post in the forum, where she shared her gift, a little remembrance and goodbye.

Hardly knew you, Ariel, but knew you were incredible. Rest in peace, beautiful.

Do you have a link or something that notes her passing?

EDIT: Never mind; some Googling gave me what I wanted/needed. Apparently, she was killed in a car accident.

What?? Oh my gosh! This makes me so sad! I didn’t know Ariel personally but we did have a few conversations through Makeup Geek. She was one talented lady! She had actually started a blog and though she only did two posts, one which she deleted, you can see through her first post what a beautiful person she was inside and out!

“As they say, the hardest part is getting started. Isn’t that the truth! Why don’t we crack this off with a little bio:

My name is Ariel Marie, I’m currently a freelance artist personally and also through MAC. I graduated from Cinema Makeup School in 2010, obtaining my Master of Makeup and Digital FX certificate. Based out of Central Cali, I travel around the area doing weddings, proms, makeovers, and monsters. Yes, I said monsters.

Now, I see makeup in a different light than most people. To me it’s not about the brand names or “makeup is for girly girls”. I view it as this: every face is like a finger print, each one is different from the next. Makeup is an art, and the concept is to work from the natural beauty of the face. Everyone’s face is bloody beautiful, I don’t care what you say. Embrace what you have because it’s who you are, nobody has your exact face. When you learn to not be so harsh on “imperfections” (by the way, I hate that word) and learn to love your natural beauty, applying makeup will be not a necessity. Makeup, again, is an art, and should be a fun option to use your beautiful face as a canvas to create different looks, whether it’s just evening out skintone or doing a dark, sultry eyeshadow.

There you have it! It’s a mini rant, but I just want to give an insight to my mind. I hope by creating this blog, I will teach what I know, and learn more! You can never stop learning, that’s for sure! I’ve been a bit of a troll for the past, oh I don’t know…two years? Haha! Going through youtubes, blogspots, facebooks, but never creating my own. Well, here I am, guys! I hope to give many makeup tutorials, reviews on products, and maybe a little jibber jabber. Now…time to party and do some makeup!”

Yeah, it was a car wreck. A collision with a tanker truck in thick fog.

It’s so sad. I can’t seem to stop thinking about it and we hardly ever talked. She was just so incredibly talented and her makeup career was just starting to take off (she posted that she would be travelling in her work with MAC).

So sad! Just another reminder how short life can be….may she rest in peace!

Wow! She was such a talented girl! I am so sorry to hear of such an awful tragedy! RIP

Oh my gosh… How sad.. I rememeber her… She rly was such a talented girl.. And so super sweet… I didn’t know her well, but we had a few exchanges on here… And I always admired her work… So young too, just at the beginning of what we all knew was going to be an amazing career… Def agree with daantje, a reminder of how short life can be…… RIP Ariel….

my goodness! So sad I never talked with Ariel but I saw her work and she was so talented and seemed like such a lovely girl.

I did not know Ariel, as I’m new here. Hearing of such a loss, though, is equally heart-breaking. May she rest in peace, and my condolences to her family. Just through reading the first post of her “bio” she sounds like she was a very optimistic, talented, wise, and light-spirited lady.

Such a rude awakening to the harsh realities of our world..
