Perfectionism is primarily fueled by a desire for external approval. We are afraid that if we expose our disfigure, we will stop getting our daily dose of approvals. So we flatter ourselves up and create positive portrayals of our imperfect and flawed lives.

We wind up, brush off the negatives, and present a perfect image to the public that we carefully nurture and maintain. When we cover up these flaws, we also conceal what makes us human.

There is something special in all of us. And everyone is beautiful in our own way. Today, I’ll gonna feature some ladies with their unique looks which made them stand out despite of their imperfections.

Cassandra Naud:

A professional dancer born with a large birthmark on her left eye. The skin disorder is called Becker’s Nevus usually comes in bright colors coarse hair not unpleasant sight to see. She was bullied as a child because of it and endless teasing make her beg her parents to do plastic surgery in high school.

However, the doctors couldn’t help because that time the technology wasn’t advance enough to remove the nevus safely. She learn how to embrace her individuality. It took her long and start wasn’t easy, but she did. Today, Cassandra even credit her birthmark to make her memorable in her industry.

Khoudia Diop

This model has a stunning dark skin , thanks to her naturally high level of melanin. She was teased a lot growing up because of her skin color and she ended up being an outcast. Each day, she stands up the bullies but when she get older she manage to accept herself and inspire people from all over the world. Her unique looks stands out to be real marketable, now she works in many fashion agencies from Paris to New York proving that being different does not mean being ugly.

Nastya Zhidkova

Albinos has possibly the most unique looks and Nastya proves it. She has a snow white hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. She also have eyes absolutely incredible color. The most famous magazines are dying to get her pictures. ut of course being an albino has its negative consequences for her health, example she has poor eyesight so she has to wear lenses and her skin is very sensitive to sunlight and requires a lot of sunscreen.

Nikia Phoenix

Freckles aren’t particularly beautiful, and Nikia is different from almost all of her modeling business colleagues. Natural dark skin, dark hair and large freckles which almost have in her entire body made her famous. In her childhood, Nikia was bullied because of her appearance, thankfully it didn’t affect her self-esteem. Now she is a successful model.

Duckie Thot

When you first look at her, you might thought she’s a doll. Smooth skin, ideal face, silky hair, she does look like a doll. Duckie gain popularity by taking part in Australia’s Next Top Model. As an often happens, beauty and fame go hand in hand facing a lot of insults in social networks and not everyone can't cope with this. But in the end, Duckie is more than capable to handle this. Today she’s successful in modeling collaborate with many prominent brands.

Striving for perfection is something we all do. This applies not only to our personal goals, our work, our hobbies, but also to the wider world we inhabit.

In a world obsessed with perfection, the imperfect stands out. The unpleasant birthmark an freckles on your body, dark skin color, unusual body condition and imperfect physical traits. Even the typo in a writer’s article, the crack in a singer’s voice all expose a creator’s humanity for all to see.

In fact, anything or any person with a slight error or imperfection is more admired by people because we all can relate to the imperfections more easily than an imaginary idea of perfection.

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful than a woman being unapologetically herself, comfortable in her perfect imperfection. That is the true essence of beauty."

We r not perfect n the only one perfect po is God n we r all created to be unique n perfect to God's eyes po. Being beautiful po isn't about the physical looks or physical appearance po but what's the inside or her attitude or character po 'coz even if she's so attractive or good looking n yet she has a bad attitude, then it's not good po, just like the saying goes po, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder po,

I'm guilty about being a perfectionist. As I was growing up I always seek the approval of my parents, they seems to be uncontented of everything I do. So seeking other's approval I think is one of the reasons why many people tends to be perfectionist - same with their physical looks.

Personally, I have very low self esteem when it comes to my physical looks because as a teenager I was always bullied for having a lot of pimples. It came to an extent that I no longer went outside and i just want to end my life. You know what's the worst feeling? Being bullied and judged by my own family and relatives.

But I'm thankful that I surpassed that stage of life and now I'm trying to be more confident and not mind those criticisms.

Self love starts with embracing our flaws 💕

Thanks for sharing this inspiring stories of various ladies who conquered the criticisms 💛

In my opinion no one is perfect only God who is perfect. All of us has its own weaknesses and limitations. The beauty of imperfection as you described depends on each individuals to see. Others say my mother is not perfect but for me my mother is perfect or near perfection, for I could not be what I am today without her.

Perfection doesn't only refer to individual's physical features.. but also to how you handle every single situation in this world.. how you become a good person infront of others.. and how you do your responsibilities perfectly..

The question is how do we define these words Perfection and Beauty? Is there really an exact definition of theses words and what are the basis of these words that we could actually all agreed on and apply to ourselves? In my opinion these words varies on ones perception. Like for instance these ladies they might look diffrent to some (because of some reasons) but being diffrent doesn't mean they're not perfect and beautiful. true beauty is something authentic and sincere in a way that extends love to youself and others and perfection is you manage to maintain this qualities. 😊

You nailed it again. That is true. Having pleasant physical features doesn't mean beautiful, because we are beautiful in our own way. I think we just need to know how to handle it, how to show it to other people, and how to make that imperfection beautiful.

Wow, great article. Actually, the world system is not helping. We are in a world that people expect us to be what we can't, thus pushing us to be perfect and feel intimidated if we are not.

It's the drive to fulfill external expectations that plague the perfectionist.
