Beauty vlogger Marimar Quiroa spreads encouraging words of confidence and self-acceptance on her YouTube channel through her makeup tutorials.
The 22-year-old makeup maven was born with a cystic hygroma tumor in her neck and mouth, which requires her to use sign language to communicate, feeding tubes to eat, and a hole in her throat to breathe properly. However, this hasn't stopped her from creating a popular YouTube channel with 200,000+ subscribers.
In an interview with Barcroft TV Marimar explained that her tumors have never stopped her from loving herself or feeling beautiful. She used methods such as telling herself she was beautiful in the mirror everyday and listing her qualities to build her confidence growing up.
"To me, beauty means to accept yourself for who you are and to ignore what other people tell you," she explained. "It doesn't matter if you have a different-looking face . . . accept yourself for who you are."
