Woman Transforms Birthmark
If life has taught us anything it’s that when we get lemons we must make lemonade. 24 year old Paige Lauren Billiot grew up with what’s called a port-wine stain birthmark on the left side of her face. She was bullied by other kids and had to learn to find peace with her circumstance – to “see the beauty through darkness” as she poetically puts it. Today she lives in Los Angeles as a model and actress, using her birthmark as inspiration for striking pictures and beautiful works of art, which she’s exhibited on her instagram page, as part of her Flawless Affect campaign.
