Shalom Blac
YouTube Star
Beauty and makeup artist on YouTube who inspires 1.5 million subscribers as a serious burn survivor.
She was nine years old and living in Nigeria when a frying oil accident left possibly fatal burns all over her upper body and face. She spent four months in the hospital.
She learned her expertise in makeup by watching other YouTubers like Kandee Johnson beginning at the age of 13.
She has a younger sister who was also burned in the same accident. Their aunt helped them get visas to live in the U.S. so they could have reconstructive surgery. She has featured her boyfriend Michael Seaton Jr. in her "Boyfriend Tries to Guess Makeup Prices" video.
