I have many insecurities, but I cannot imagine sharing it with millions of YouTube viewers. 19 year old model, Cassandra Bankson, obviously has more courage than I do and shared her makeup-less face while creating a makeup tutorial to teach other teens with severe acne how to cover it up and gain some confidence.
It is almost unbelievable that the girl shown with makeup is the same girl without makeup. The video has gotten over 2 million views and many people have praised the youngster for having the courage to do something like this, despite her incredible insecurity, and encouraged her, telling her how beautiful she is inside and out.
The other purpose of the video is to show just how much work it takes to expertly cover a model with makeup and achieve such an amazing look. Cassandra had a dream to become a model and never let her acne get in the way of that. Not only did she fulfill her own goal, but she is now also inspiring millions of viewers around the world to follow their dreams even if they feel like something is in their way. Check out the video below.
What do you think of the transformation? Would you ever do something like this?
