The coronavirus epidemic has wreaked havoc across the world, with Italy effecting a travel ban last night to prevent further spread. Despite the necessary precautions, one consequence of this action has left the local beauty community majorly upset.
Controversial make-up artist and YouTuber Jeffree Starr took to his Instagram stories to reveal some sad news that left local fans reeling: “I am a little devastated because I was supposed to go to Italy later this month for this huge make-up convention,” Jeffree reveals.
He continues to add: “I was also going to go to Malta and all travel for me and my team is cancelled. It’s fucking crazy right now.”
Jeffree, who is also the founder of the wildly popular cosmetics brand Jeffree Starr Cosmetics, is not only famous for his insanely creative skills with a makeup brush but also for his blunt, sassy and straightforward attitude. While Malta will have to miss out on hosting this beauty icon for the time being, here's to hoping he'll still pay us a visit once a cure is found for the Coronavirus and the overall situation improves.
Health always comes first, but this news is just sad.
