Sometimes, looking at the reflection, it seems to us that we would gladly change a lot about ourselves. And at the same time, we often forget that true beauty is hidden in uniqueness, and not in accordance with the current canons of beauty.
We have collected for you touching stories of real people that will help remind us of the true beauty of each of us.
I always felt complex compared to my petite friends(with a height of 180 cm and a weight of 76 kg). But one day we went on a tour of Europe with them.
During the 2 weeks of travel, simply no one noticed them. And they literally pestered me: they asked for my phone number, offered to come again, and even said that they would pay for the flight and accommodation. Like, I am a real Russian beauty (I have a typical Slavic appearance: a round face, ample breasts and thick brown hair). I don't have complexes anymore.

Today I was getting a manicure at the beauty salon, and I heard one lady say: “I want hair like that girl.” The hairdresser couldn’t find such a paint, so she asked me to take a photo so she could order just that shade. I'm starting to feel beautiful and unique, it's amazing.

Jokes in the style of “Inna-Gulliver”, etc., bewilderment of people in shops and the subway. And God forbid you step on anyone’s foot. I met my husband, the love of my life, only at 28 years old. From the same shoemaker. He is over 2 meters tall and has a 49 foot size. Now there are two Gullivers in our family.

A week later I went to the store. There I met him again. He looked at me, came up and asked: “Girl, don’t you want to lose weight?” I was shocked by such impudence, but after that he invited me to train and run together. As a result, I am now his pretty, fit girlfriend, and he is a pumped-up brunette with an earring in his ear - straight out of my dream.

Beauty is a relative concept, and its canons sometimes change very quickly. Our review contains photographs nine custom models from around the world, destroying stereotypes and proving that you can be beautiful, desirable and in demand, no matter what.
Beauty will save the world. Or at least provoke him to stay alive. Because conflicting emotions and debates about what beauty is will not end as long as they exist. Women are actresses, singers, models and simply earthly goddesses who inspire this world to be, and women - not to consider appearance the basis of their personality.
23 years old, hooligan, top model and actress, stylish, cheerful and self-ironic, bold and lively, the most invited and the most influential - this is a short list of Kara’s characteristics. And this is just the beginning.
Of course, one selfie of hers, taken with her left heel, “sells” designer clothes better than the most pretentious fashion show. Kara knows her stuff. She has been in the fashion industry since she was 10 years old, with her first photo for Italian Vogue.
Not bad for a slightly upturned nose, which many consider ordinary? Diversity, hyper-emotionality and youthful enthusiasm. Is it not these powerful forces that are attracting more and more new subscribers to her overwhelming Instagram?
Who knows what would have happened to this little girl if not for her star parents - Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg.
Inheriting the features of both, Charlotte became a symbol of intellectual beauty, melancholy and modern Paris. Although she doesn’t like her appearance, which she has repeatedly admitted in interviews.
However, this difficulty did not become an obstacle to receiving the Cannes Film Festival prize for Best Actress for the film Antichrist in 2009.
Anti-irony of fate? Don't be born beautiful - choose the right family.
If your family history goes back at least one thousand years, there is a high probability that people will consider you an alien from another planet. This is exactly what happens with Tilda Swinton.
Having connected her youth with the theater and becoming world famous after 40 years, Tilda has always puzzled lovers of plump lips and innocently open eyelashes. But never doubt your own talent. And the Oscar received in 2008 for Best Supporting Actor in the film “Michael Clayton” is just one proof. Gender uncertainty and beauty are compatible concepts.
Another sex symbol for intellectuals. Everything is as it should be: one meter eighty tall, size 42 feet, angular movements and large feet that Quentin Tarantino is crazy about.
The press is full of scary headlines about unsuccessful plastic surgery. Let’s forget and forgive, dancing like in “Pulp Fiction” and singing “U-ma-tur-man!” And remember the 2003 Golden Globe for Best Actress for Hysterical Blindness.
Thin and fragile, almost boyish, this little girl proved to the world that a gap between her teeth adds charm to her appearance, and deliberate thinness easily turns you into a style icon.
Former common-law husband Johnny Depp and two common children confirm. And even though separations are inevitable, Vanessa is not shy about smiling widely and does not consider it necessary to hide the wrinkles on her eternally childish face.
The actress who plays Carrie Bradshaw, who knows everything about Sex and the City, was voted the most unsexy woman alive in 2007 by readers of the men's magazine Maxim. Problem? Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr., Nicolas Cage and John Kennedy Jr. do not think so. A romance with each of them is a clearer indicator of reader sympathies.
Well, four Golden Globe awards and two Emmys have been won by the “horse-looking” actress – an easy bonus for those who have final doubts.
Rough facial features sometimes bring star roles in films - for example, transgender Hilary in Boys Don't Cry or boxer Maggie in Million Dollar Baby.
“Angular,” but charming and courageous, Hilary was repeatedly noted for these roles. She has won two Oscars (2000, 2005) and two Golden Globes (2000, 2005).
A little shocking and vintage, plus a scandalous debut role, as was the case with Chloe in the film “Kids” (1995) - and you are guaranteed a pass to the world of celebrities. This is the recipe from a blonde who believes that you don’t have to be perfect.
Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thank you for that
that you are discovering this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and the goosebumps.

Sometimes, looking in the mirror, we think that we would gladly change something about ourselves. And at the same time, we are completely unaware that real beauty lies in uniqueness, and not in imitation of the stereotyped standards of beauty accepted in society.
website collected the most sincere stories of real people from communities "Overheard", which remind us of the true beauty of every person.
I always felt complex compared to my petite friends (with a height of 180 cm and a weight of 76 kg). But one day we went on a tour of Europe with them. During the 2 weeks of travel, simply no one noticed them. And I was literally fed up: they asked for a phone number, offered to come again and even said that they would pay for the flight and accommodation. Like, I am a real Russian beauty (I have a typical Slavic appearance: a round face, ample breasts and thick brown hair). I don't have complexes anymore.
I am naturally bright red-haired and green-eyed, at school they teased me as a “red-haired freckle”, at the institute they called me a witch. My brown-haired parents always told me that it was ugly to be a redhead. Today I was getting a manicure at the beauty salon, and I heard one lady say: “I want hair like that girl.” The hairdresser couldn’t find such a paint, so she asked me to take a photo so she could order just that shade. I'm starting to feel beautiful and unique, it's amazing.
I will not select photographs of any people as an example, so as not to cause controversy or offend anyone. Here, rather, the goal is to generally express my opinion about what is “atypical” for some, typical for others, scary for others, and beautiful for others and an example to follow. Scrolling through photographs in one public page on VK dedicated to “atypical beauty,” I came to a completely banal conclusion. Most people, in my opinion (yes, there is still subjectivity here) look quite ordinary. For me, it’s usually something that you can see every day, something that doesn’t stand out in any respect so much that you involuntarily remember it the first time. Of course, I'm not talking about albinos, people with impaired facial structures, etc. This is where genetics should be separately considered, how to understand genetic “deviations”. And many of the “atypical” ones are just typically beautiful - correct facial proportions, neat, not polished. But what makes their photos so special in the eyes of many?
After looking through enough photos, I realized that what makes these people monotonous to me is the emotionlessness of their faces. Absolutely no emotions, you know, like when someone takes your passport photo. Still, even melancholy, calmness or boredom are also emotions that significantly transform a person’s face. Not to mention smile, irritation, surprise and other bright emotions that can be shown on the face. And although these people are unusual in some facial features, they become so gray and ordinary because of this lack of emotion. But as soon as even the shadow of some thought, some shade of emotion flashes through, their faces transform, they become beautiful, their charisma is visible, something internal that makes them beautiful, even if in my opinion such facial features look ugly - they become the exception. Let’s say, I don’t like wide-set eyes, but a red-haired girl with wide-set eyes frowns in the photo, and her lips twitch slightly in a sly grin, and for me she becomes so beautiful that this “defect” is no longer even widely noticeable set eyes.
Emotions on a person’s face turn even the most ordinary appearance into a beautiful one. They make you look at a person completely differently. That’s why I don’t like so-called “emotional portraits”, designed to show the viewer what is supposedly inside a person, but in fact, the faces of the people in the photo express so much “nothing” that they look scary and a little disgusting. Not attractive, better that way. There are many people, looking at whose photographs I experience different emotions. I’ll look at the photo without emotions - God, how scary, and what do people find in this face? You look at the smile or surprise of this person and you understand that there is something beautiful in him, for which they love his appearance.
Still, the phrase that a smile makes a person more beautiful is true, but not completely. Any emotion on a person's face makes him more beautiful because it gives him uniqueness. This is the very notorious uniqueness. There are many similar people, just as the range of emotions we all have is similar - joy, sadness, anger, doubt, etc. But thanks to facial expressions, which are unique for each person, the same emotion becomes personal, recognizable and distinctive. Someone smiles with their gums, someone stretches their mouth in a smile so that it resembles a rectangle, someone squints one eye while smiling, someone has dimples on their cheeks - even the most banal smile becomes completely different, depending on person. And this is where people become beautiful.
