*** EXCLUSIVE - VIDEO AVAILABLE *** FONTANA, CA - MAY 26: Marimar Quiroa pictured at her home where she records videos for YouTube about applying makeup on May 26, 2016 in Fontana, California. A 21-YEAR-OLD vlogger is making a name for herself on YouTube with her make-up tutorials - despite being born with a facial tumour that leaves her unable to speak or eat. Marimar Quiora once hid her face from strangers in the street, but now proudly bares her beauty to millions of people who follow her online. Marimar was born with a facial tumour called cystic hygroma, which means she has to use sign language in her videos to communicate. But the inspirational student won?t let anything hold her back, and now she is turning traditional beauty standards on their head with her powerful message of self-love.
