Brazilian Woman Is Using Her Unique Birthmark To Launch Her Modelling Career
Mariana Mendes, 24, was born with congenital melanocytic nevus, a type of birthmark that occurs in an estimated one percent of infants worldwide. Mariana’s unmissable birthmark covers the center of her face and, while many struggle to accept their birthmarks, Mariana has always fully embraced hers and encouraged others to do the same.
Instead of being ashamed of the way one looks, they have to be fully aware of their ‘drawbacks’ and turn them into something powerful to make them feel special and unique. Because everybody is beautiful in their own way and this is just a different kind of beauty. As she says women do not need to fit into conventional beauty standards to be models. Neither do they have to be thin and tall with all the characteristics that the media now demands. Everyone has their own type of beauty even if you have characteristics out of the normal beauty standard, that’s your own kind of beauty. People have to accept themselves as they we are. And that is the only standard.
This brave woman has chosen not to cover it up and she never uses makeup to do that because she knows that the birthmark is part of her and part of her personality. She has also never considered removing it. Now Mariana works mostly as a print model for clothing designers and she has launched a career as a digital influencer with 21,000 Instagram followers.The Brazilian beauty hopes her boldness will help break down barriers in the fashion industry and inspire more people to proudly bare their birthmarks.
