英国14岁少女克里斯托(Nikki Christou)患有脑动静脉血管畸形(arteriovenous malformation),导致她右脸与左半边并不对称,她曾被恶意嘲笑「谁打你了」、「你好恶心」。不过,坚强的她并未被击倒,反而成为彩妆YouTuber,自信画上紫色口红大家拥抱自己的不同。

克里斯托告诉《每日电讯报》,她确实知道自己的外观不太一样,也有很多人问过她,是否她严重过敏眼睛才会肿起来。她坦承,很多人靠着贬低别人来让自己开心,她对此有些难过,事实上,为了掩饰脸庞,她曾试过用头发遮住右脸,或借由化妆覆盖明显的血管。

走过伤痛,克里斯托没有被打败,反而越来越强大,她成为拥有52万名粉丝订阅的YouTuber,在镜头前露出甜美笑容,不会刻意遮住右脸。爸爸也帮她化妆,虽然眼妆画得不是很成功,还是圆了女儿美梦

「如果你看起来不一样,不要藏起那些特殊之处,拥抱那些不同。」克里斯托说,以前她们化妆是为了隐藏脸上差异,随着年龄的增长,她现在已把彩妆品视为享用乐趣与表达自我的工具

"If you look different, don't try and hide that difference. Embrace that difference," says Nikki Lilly, who, with the help of charity Changing Faces, has come to celebrate her visible facial difference.
