Beauty influencer who was a 'friend to everyone' dies 'quietly' aged 36, her husband announces
A beauty influencer has died at the age of 36, her husband has announced.
Liz Lin Ruoyu, who was a Taiwanese beauty influencer, died earlier this month.
The news was confirmed by her husband with a statement he posted to his late wife’s Instagram page on Sunday (August 10). He wrote: “Although Liz has quietly left, the beauty and love she left behind will always be with us.”
He did not give a cause of death for the social media star.
The influencer, who had more than 144,000 Instagram followers, was known for posting beauty and lifestyle content. She was particularly known for sharing a video trying on different kinds of eyewear.
She first began posting in 2012, and her last post came in June. It’s not known precisely when she died.
“On social platforms, she never saw herself as an ‘influencer’ but as a friend to everyone,” Liz’s husband also wrote on Instagram. “She always tried her best to respond to every message just because she really cared and really appreciated everyone who supported her.”
“She was always curious about new things, especially about small animals, with infinite gentleness and care," he added. "She always had a unique and fascinating taste, always able to use her vision and creativity to add beauty and inspiration to the world.”
In the comments of the post, followers and friends of Liz posted their own condolences. Nancy Tsai, a fellow Taiwanese blogger who been Liz’s friend for 15 years, remembered her late friend and shared several photos together over the course of their friendship.
“We have so many memories worth smiling together,” wrote Tsai in a translated post, where she recalled traveling with Liz to Singapore, Los Angeles and Tokyo. “On the next part of the journey, be able to continue smiling from the heart. Love you always.”
One fan wrote: “Rest in peace, Liz.” Many also commented about how youthful she looked and how she’d been “taken far too soon”. Another person pennded: “May Liz be beautiful and happy in another world.”
