Even after being in two terrible car accidents and battling cancer, Steph Aiello didn’t stop pursuing her makeup dreams. Check out some of her most gorgeous looks!
Makeup artist Steph Aiello has been through a lot more in a few years than most people will go through their entire lives, and is now proving to the world that nothing can stand in the way of your dreams.
Aiello, a cancer survivor, was left paralyzed from the waist down in a 2010 car crash. Just a few months later, while being granted a six-hour leave from the hospital to spend Christmas day with her family, she and her loved ones were in another crash, this time being hit by a drunk driver on their way to the celebration.
Before both of the accidents, the 26-year-old had dreams to become a cosmetologist. And while so many people would let that be the end of their dreams, even through an incredible amount of adversity, Aiello eventually found her way back to makeup.
Her Instagram account just reached 100k followers, and it’s well deserved as her tutorials and daily makeup looks are seriously amazing. She has had to adapt to using her mouth to twist off caps and holding brushes between both of her hands to apply the makeup, but her technique is so incredible, she can flawlessly put on a winged eyeliner with no issues.
We love her gorgeous makeovers and relentless attitude, but our favorite part about Aiello is that she doesn’t pretend that it’s always easy. She continues to be honest with her followers every step along the way. And the sincerity of her struggles, along with her determination to never stop improving makes us love her all the more.

We love Steph’s inspirational grit and determination, and we can’t wait to see what looks she comes up with next!
