Following in the footsteps of Zoella and Tanya Burr, 21 year old Kaitlyn Dobrow has launched her career as a beauty vlogger
Kaitlyn, who lives with her mum Kathi in Orange County, lost the use of all four limbs, as a result of bacterial meningitis and septicaemia in 2013. At 18 she spent six months in an intensive care unit and underwent more than 20 operations including skin grafts.
Despite the after-effects of the disease, Kaitlyn has regained her independence through the use of prosthetic limbs. Since contracting meningitis, Kaitlyn has documented her recovery through filming herself and on social media.
Back in 2013, US TV star John Stamos visited Kaitlyn in hospital.
Kaitlyn who has some scarring said:
“It shows you’re a warrior, don’t try to hide them. I’m getting kind of upset that they’re fading. I think they look pretty cool.”
She began to post beauty videos on YouTube in June has given tutorials including a classic red lip and flicked eyeliner look.
She says:
“I am in no way a make-up artist. It’s what I do, it’s what I love.”
