Here are 27 beautiful people who set their own beauty standards, and prove that being unique is the only beauty standard anyone has to live up to. Since then, she’s modeled for top designers, in major fashion shows, and has over 2 million followers on Instagram — all while calling attention to the beauty of people who have vitiligo. She promotes the inclusion of people with deep dark skin and shows that women with deep skin tones deserve a stake in the beauty industry. Follow her on Youtube to catch lovely makeup tutorials and her Darkest Shade series, which tests the deepest foundation shades of different beauty brands to see just how well (or terribly) they serve dark-skinned makeup lovers. She’s also been adamant about people with albinism not being defined by the condition. “My albinism is a part of me—and it’s beautiful—but it’s not all of me,” she told Glamour. As of October 2017, she’s also the newest face of Beauty Breaking Barriers campaign with the cosmetics company Wet N Wild. ED is a combination of over 150 different syndromes. It can cause the absence or abnormality of hair, teeth, nails, fingers, and irregular skin pigmentation. Because of ED, Melanie Gaydos is partially blind and has alopecia. She’s made it her business to encourage the fashion industry to embrace unique looks and accept that beauty comes in different ways. Follow Gaydos on Instagram for all the inspiration and beauty you can handle! “Damn, I’m out here looking as beautiful as you are,” she captioned an Instagram butt selfie. Sigh. Everything she is goes directly against mainstream beauty standards. And Lizzo ain’t sorry! Every time Viola Davis slays a red carpet with her kinky natural hair and rich, deep skin — she’s sticking up a classy middle finger to that thinking, and encouraging the rest of us to do the same. The entire world witnessed some of this bullying when she was called “Nutella Queen” and told her afro wasn’t “elegant” by a racist producer on the VH1 show, Love & Hip-Hop Miami. Amara has only used the experience to double UP on her Afro-Latina and natural hair pride! She’s a beautiful inspiration to multiple marginalized groups, no matter what that trash producer has to say. “Long gone are the days when bearded ladies were thrown into freak shows and made to work in circuses,” she captioned a photo of herself modeling on Twitter. “Fuck that!” Stickels got her big break when photographer Nick Knight found her on Instagram and invited her to pose for a V magazine shoot. Since then, she’s been killing beauty standards one gorgeous image at a time! Geurts is determined to promote body positivity and encourage the inclusion of more people in ad campaigns who have disorders. “I remember when I first entered the industry all I saw were models that looked the same,” he reflected in a statement about the Instagram campaign. “Now here we are almost 10 years later, and I see the choice I’ve made has helped the industry to see beauty in many ways, such as casting models and rising icons like @winnieharlow, @jilly_peppa and more to help lead the fight with me to diversity.” Her disability has not stopped her from slaying ad campaigns and showing how necessary it is to include people with ALL physical abilities. Her lovely presence is the destroyer of myths about big lips being unattractive AND about women needing to have hair to be beautiful. Thanks to her and Fenty Beauty, when you Google “beauty” — you see a woman of color representing flawlessly! Though she stresses she is not a model, she intentionally posts pictures that do not hide her birthmark but instead, embrace her body and inspire others. She’s directed top Hollywood films and accepted the nominations and awards for them with her luxurious dreadlocks flowing down her back. “I don’t need to look ’normal.’ I look cool as hell!” she also shared. She even stood up to Instagram for removing her topless mastectomy scar photos — and won! The brand restored her images and she’s continued to raise awareness about women living with the scars. Nchom survived a burn accident at the age of 9 and has been open about learning to embrace the scarring. She talks about her experience with self-love, acceptance, and of course the fun of makeup on her Youtube channel. “Stop telling trans women & trans feminine people that we ‘wear too much makeup,’ ’look like caricatures,’ and that we ‘shouldn’t do so much,’ if we want to be ’taken seriously’ or ‘pass,’ they shared in an Instagram statement. “This is transmisogyny.” It’s so refreshing to see someone embrace the beauty of the aging process instead of only celebrating the concept of “looking young.” Every white hair and every wrinkle on Sarah Jane Adams is lovely and empowering for herself and for other people who love her. She initially sought to change it with surgery but ultimately decided she loves the unique way she looks. “Fat cheeks forevaaaa,” she wrote on her Instagram page.
