This Girl Was Called Ugly For Her Birthmark. Now She Rocks It!


I strongly believe that anyone can be beautiful, no matter what they look like. Mariana Mendes is a great example of this – despite a large black birthmark on her face known as congenital melanocytic nevus, her confidence and poise haven’t faltered at all. In fact, she recently did a photo shoot showing off her natural beauty! Indeed, Mariana has stated that she’s proud of her birthmark, because even if people think that it’s ugly, it’s a big part of who she is in her point of view. Let’s take a look at some of her photos. It might be a good idea to take notes – we could all learn a lot from Mariana.
