The beauty community is plunged into mourning over the loss of a cherished creator. Influencer Guava Shuishui, affectionately known online as Guava Beauty, has passed away, as confirmed in a heartfelt statement posted to her Instagram account. According to various sources, she was just 24 years old.
"With profound sorrow, we announce that our beloved beauty and food vlogging treasure, Guava Shuishui, gracefully removed her beauty gear on May 24, 2025, and soared to heaven with her insatiable appetite and radiant smile, ready to launch a new channel," read the statement, translated from Chinese by Us Weekly. "Despite this journey's unexpected arrival, Shuishui braved every challenging moment with her signature perseverance, dedication, and brilliance."
The post fondly acknowledged Shuishui's devoted fanbase, which encompassed an impressive 12,000 Instagram followers. "We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has shown their appreciation, left heartfelt messages, and shared laughter with her. Your love and support meant the world to her," the statement continued. "She held it close to her heart and cherished it deeply. Guava Shuishui has merely shifted her venue, continuing to shine brightly from afar."
The post concluded with a poignant clip of Shuishui waving at the camera, accompanied by the words, "Until we reunite one day, she will undoubtedly have unboxed angel-exclusive collab makeup and indulged in a heavenly mukbang."
Regrettably, the statement remained silent on the cause of her passing.
Shuishui was renowned not only for her meticulous testing of beauty products but also for her unconventional habit of licking or taking bites of them after use. In a September post, she sampled a Maybelline lip product before popping the applicator into her mouth. "The verdict is in," she captioned the post, translated into English, "Effortless to apply, but the flavor is overpowering."
A month later, Shuishui seemingly addressed the controversy surrounding her practice of tasting the products, which often sparked heated discussions among her fans in the comment sections of her videos. Beneath a video where she tested a blush product, the beauty enthusiast penned, "I've long dreamed of turning this theme into a series. Despite the controversy, I absolutely adore it. I couldn't care less."
"Just to clarify, this project is strictly off-limits to viewers under six years old," she continued in the November post, "and consuming the products is strictly prohibited."
