She explained how to create her own custom palette and had more than 170,000 subscribers. She fought multiple health problems, including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which affects the connective tissues in the skin, joints, and blood vessel walls. Because of this, people with the disorder are at a higher risk for injuries and disease. Sadly, there is no known cure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mel_thompson_started_a_YouTube_channel_to_discuss_make-up_artistry\"><\/span>mel thompson started a YouTube channel to discuss make-up artistry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a good make-up artist, you should check out Mel Thompson&#8217;s YouTube channel. The talented actress started her YouTube channel in 2013, and she&#8217;s been building up a big following ever since. Since then, she&#8217;s posted over a thousand videos on make-up artistry and beauty. Her videos are funny, witty, and extremely informative, so you&#8217;re sure to find a lot to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Although her YouTube channel has been a big hit, Mel Thompson passed away this past week. She had been diagnosed with a genetic disorder known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The disorder affects skin, joints, and blood vessels. The cause of her death is unknown, but she had over sixteen thousand subscribers. During her life, she regularly posted tutorials and reviews of popular make-up brands.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"she_died_of_Ehlers-Danlos_syndrome\"><\/span>she died of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the wake of Mel Thompson&#8217;s death, many people have begun to ask: Did she really die of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? This rare inherited disorder affects the skin, joints, blood vessel walls, and connective tissues. It causes these structures to break down and cause dangerous flexibility, which puts people at risk of injury. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>After suffering from EDS for years, Mel Thompson launched her own YouTube channel and partnered with another YouTuber. In 2013, they wrote a blog together for TeenLife 13. Since then, Mel Thompson&#8217;s career soared and her fans have paid tribute to her family. This is the unfortunate reality for many with EDS. Unfortunately, she has left a large number of fans.<\/p>\n<p>The syndrome causes highly flexible joints that easily dislocate during normal activities. Additionally, the degeneration of connective tissues causes blood vessels to weaken and internal bleeding. While no treatment exists for the disorder, many sufferers are undergoing surgery or undergoing extensive physical therapy. After Thompson&#8217;s death, her YouTube channel was flooded with messages from fans. Despite the fact that her illness was known, her fans were still stunned that she had died of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"she_created_her_own_palette\"><\/span>she created her own palette<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Beauty vlogger and makeup artist Mel Thompson has passed away. She was only 33 years old and had an extensive YouTube following, a whopping 170,000 subscribers. She had a large following on Instagram too, with over 58,000 followers. In February, she launched her own eyeshadow palette with Sydney Grace. The &#8216;Tiny Marvels&#8217; palette features 15 different shades. In her last video, Mel showed off how to use makeup products. Then, she revealed that she had been battling health issues.<\/p>\n<p>The death of Mel Thompson has shocked the beauty community, as her YouTube channel had over 170,000 subscribers. Her husband, Puffin Thompson, confirmed her death on Instagram and didn&#8217;t provide details about her death. His post about Mel Thompson reflected his feelings about his wife, who he said loved her daughter and son. His comments on the video said: &#8220;I&#8217;m so sorry. This is such a tragedy. Our hearts go out to her family, friends, and fans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"she_had_more_than_170000_YouTube_subscribers\"><\/span>she had more than 170,000 YouTube subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube star Mel Thompson has passed away.
