Marimar Quiroa is a beauty blogger born with a rare condition called cystic hygroma.
The condition means she was born with a birth defect in her neck and mouth and therefore needs to breath through a hole in her neck.
Despite her ‘unconventional’ looks, the 21-year-old is making a big splash in the online beauty world. Her Youtube channel has over 110,000 subscribers and has over 9 million views.
“To me, beauty means to accept yourself for who you are, and to ignore what other people tell you,” Quiroa said to Barcroft TV.
“What I like about makeup and beauty is imagining new looks, especially around the eyes, and showing people they’re beautiful no matter what.”
She has admitted while the strange looks her way can be upsetting, she has learned to hold her head up high.
“I see them staring. I either tell them to stop or just ignore them, but if people are staring at me, I stare right back. I refuse to look away until they stop staring.”
