Who was Guava Shuishui?
Guava Shuishui rose to popularity on social media platforms under the name Guava Beauty, thanks to her bold and quirky approach to beauty content.

Rather than shy away from criticism, Shuishui leaned into it. In a post from November, she addressed the backlash directly: ¡°I¡¯ve wanted to make this theme into a unit for a long time. Although it¡¯s controversial, I really like it. I don¡¯t care. Anyway, this project is not allowed to be watched by people under 6 years old¡ªand it is forbidden to eat.¡±
Poya Beauty, Saint Laurent, Dinto Beauty, and Watsons Taiwan were among other beauty brands that often featured in her video.
