13 Models Whose Non-Standard Beauty Inspires Millions of People That Are Afraid to Be Themselves

A big nose, a gap between teeth, extra weight, freckles, and other features of the skin and body don't even begin to complete the list of things that many people feel shy about. The models that we're going to speak about in this article think differently. They think that being perfect is pretty boring and that being yourself is much cooler.

Bright Side thinks that meeting bright people whose atypical appearance inspires confidence in their own attractiveness is a breath of fresh air.
