Honestly, Winnie is beautiful! Who else agrees? :)

[@jinspinkflipphone2925]

FaunaLilac2 MSP meeeeeeeeee

[@blancarodriguez8142]

FaunaLilac2 MSP Me, because I prefer not looking outside people, but inside them. Anyway, she isn't ugly...

[@earljones3481]

FaunaLilac2 MSP she's not beautiful

[@Duck_2817]

She is so beautiful

[@lnz971]

she's a cow

[@TheLolle97]

I genuinely think this looks awesome. No reason she should hide her skin.

[@roseellis245]

Thats true Lorenzo

[@hhchan2564]

too bad everyone has a little thing called "opinion"

[@klaram9913]

I think she is sooo pretty

[@swaggeranas5434]

tweety 12 she’s already pretty

[@Feonalilly]

it does. that's why she's popular to begin with

[@jvalentino6466]

True. Without it shes be basic

[@swatide-das2028]

She's so inspirational 👏🏻

[@enoch6450]

I cant help but feel she is been used by these companies to simply boost their sales. Very sad

[@mwamussa]

BINGO. Just a marketing gimmick

[@vixletaura]

I have this exact same skin disease. honestly, I really don't care what others think. Confidence is the key to attractiveness. people think it's gross sometimes and honestly I really don't care. It makes me who I am. I'm glad Winnie Harlow is confident about her skin as I am and all the others with vitiligo.

[@ohneso3891]

honestly, it does. what do they say about her? the one with vitiligo. she used it as a backstory with another victim story...so yes it literaly defined you

[@Quasiguambo]

I guess... I wouldn't have searched her name If I didn't see her name next to the image of a person that was confusing my brain. But y'know... I think when people say that they are being more hopeful than anything else. Obviously she has defining factors that aren't her skin and her modelling career... but those two things combined are pretty defining for a person when you are the 1 person on the planet with that combination of characteristics. - No harm meant... she's super hot. She seems cool. Congrats to her for having bravery and confidence more than many of us who are just normal... but as far as I can figure she is actually a 1 of a kind human (model + the condition) and so yeah that is kinda defining. Cool anywho.

[@alisonmercer5946]

Exactly . She is famous because of it . And keeps on talking about it. She is the vitilago model. Its all about lookz and yes its all about her vitilago. Hilarious name for this "documentary"

[@rogelioespinoza8619]

Tbh I have the same condition as her and she inspires me alot

[@eileenmiller7522]

Rogelio Espinoza I have it too. I’m older (started in my 50s)so I don’t have the same story of being bullied but when people stare I just 😊! Kids ask what I have and leave it at that. I found groups of Vitiligo people on FB and have attended 1 conference and the people I met are amazing. I don’t like having it especially wearing certain clothes but it is what it is. Peace!🕊

[@vixletaura]

I have the same condition too. Honestly, whenever I think of myself and vitiligo, I remember that I'm not alone. I used to think of myself as ugly but not... it's what makes me beautiful.

[@jamieluciana3754]

The most gorgeous woman alive.

[@Rain_Ruka]

I swear I'm not just saying this to be like "oh look at me I'm a great person because I'm not judging her for it" or anything like that but she is honestly so beautiful, like it looks so cool to me and she is so gorgeous ❤️😜

[@puremeditations6709]

Shes sooo beautiful!!

[@LivAlexa32]

condition or no condition she's still prettier than me :D

[@akosuaayim7297]

olivia alexa Don't say that...Winnie has her own beauty and u have ur own beauty too 💯💜👑

[@masonxo2803]

Boy you look like momo

[@adriannascott7070]

Alyssa green u ARE momo

[@weadorearianaxo2836]

i'm so proud of winnie, she's so strong n confident!!!!! i love her n how she keeps going forward 😌💌💡

[@andielyon2775]

I love how she doesn't cover it up, and she's so comfortable with it. You go Winnie!

[@azarahtwilley5762]

i have vitiligo and i really look up to Winnie, but like at school kids ask me if its a birth mark or stuff like that and i don't understand why it matters to them i feel perfect in my skin

[@vixletaura]

same!! they ask if it's a birth mark like I HONESTLY don't care if they think it's gross. I love it. It makes us who we are.

[@kemsandbeyond7052]

there are very small people in these comments trying to become bigger and more noticeable through their insecurities and misjudgment, this is change and a model using her voice and her uniqueness to send a message. thank you Winnie Harlow and BBC unfortunately only some will appreciate what your trying to do

[@officialpurplejoy]

smilie Fontaine Sadly people still find a hole whatever she does. But she is resilient and have self love. That’s important. She turns imperfection into perfect wonderfully.

[@andrewschumm1848]

Thanks for uploading

[@rwynmwynhaudwrynolpobtebyg9819]

That is actually really cool I wish I was multi-coloured

[@-Viva-Cristo-Rey]

Vitiligo is loss of skin pigmentation / melanocytes which produce melanin in the skin... never wish for it.... this loss can cause rise in the risk of skin cancer

[@shamanahaboolist]

She looks amazing! Mmm chocolate and vanilla in one!

[@anyadelaplane-yusem1413]

She’s so beautiful and her skin is too

[@cloudiirainbows325]

The question is.. *GURL HOW DO YOU GET PERFECTLY ROUND CIRCLES ON YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF?*

[@Denzel_Watchington]

Yes, it defines you.. "Do you know the model, Winnie Harlow?" "No, who's that?" "It's the model with the white patches around her chin area.." "OH YEAH! I know who you're talking about now, she's beautiful!" "Yeah she is!"

[@cailaniopires1323]

We love you, Winnie! Keep up the good work, brave girl! Kisses from Angola

[@ashutoshpatitripathi3684]

@winnie is inspiration of those people who are suffered with this vitiligo. Her confident delivere a positive energy around the globe for such like people. Keep Inspiring and Be Happy 👍

[@user-it8dx7xh1h]

Doesn’t define her but is the reason she is famous... ok then

[@EliteXtasy]

Yes it does. You keep talking about it and you're making a living out of it. Your unusual skin is what you're known for.

[@monkiram]

That's her point. To other people, she is defined by her skin, but she's trying to explain to all of us how there is more to her than her skin condition.

[@lanakali6899]

EliteXtasy it's not her fault, it's Society's fault

[@RandomPerson-ml8ej]

monkiram and she does that, by talking even more about her skin condition...? Yh sounds a little counter intuitive doesn't it

[@jennamichellelieder3837]

EliteXtasy she would still be famous even if she had "perfect" skin so please leave or stfu

[@user-qw9sq3gc3y]

EliteXtasy wow that's rude it does not define her we also know her as a hero and model and so I think your calling her unusual.

[@tseringtashi5841]

Isn’t she the one who made fun of black dark skin model and called her hair califlower . Winnie is cancelled

[@rainefyre6750]

tsering tashi nope different person.

[@uhsortakinda]

the girl that was beside Winne Harlow in the car with braids use to go to my middle school lmao and Winnie Harlow used to go to my high school :DDD

[@thatrainyboy1670]

Who came from Lilly?

[@stopthepancake9656]

She was mean on ANTM and disregarded Tyra.

[@officialpurplejoy]

Stop ThePancake She’s not perfect and she will learn to grow humble. I still give the people chances like her to grow wiser and more loving.

[@gleee86]

It doesn't define her? She's famous because of it... Not that's there's anything wrong with it. Js.

[@blancarodriguez8142]

gleee86 If she is famous because of it, then Michael Jackson would be famous because of it too, because it is the reason why he turned white.

[@gleee86]

Blanca Rodriguez uhh... no. Lol

[@blancarodriguez8142]

gleee86 No? Really? I meant that there must be other reasons why she is famous (apart of her "bicolour" skin).

[@gleee86]

Blanca Rodriguez nope. Most people, like myself, have only heard about her because of that. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[@originalmix2546]

gleee86 exactly

[@gigi7196]

She is Beautiful. her appearance and her soul

[@balls6265]

I love Winnie's skin it's so pretty

[@ultra1116]

i think your unique skin DEFINES YOU ! ...and thanks to it you are not yet again another model so yeah, you are pretty lucky I guess.

[@javae7042]

ultra1116 listen here she said her condition doesn't define her and she's not lucky shes blessed and miss stay pressed

[@loretta_3843]

My mum has the same condition, it only is on the skin on her hands - I only just remembered because I've never looked at my mum as different, it would really pain me if I found out that she felt less because of her skin condition. I wish I had just 5% of Winnie's confidence, I really admire her.

[@cheshire4564]

To be honest she's not ugly. She's actually beautiful and her skin is so unique.

[@mikaylamcpherson7677]

she has such a wonderful personality

[@casuallym3]

It’s amazing how far she came who else remembers when she lost on America’s Top model?

[@medhaverma5315]

she is so beautiful....she is so confident!!!!

[@Nigey01]

I don't see anything other than an amazingly beautiful young lady.

[@xinic5]

Well, it's her appearance, so it does define her a little. I don't like the burn mark on my face, but it "Defines" me visually. On another note, I think it's kind of hot though....

[@akosuaayim7297]

I'm soo jealous of her I want to have her skin too lol 😍😍😍❤❤❤

[@gibseyy]

I LOVE HER SKIN!!!!! Gurl has to be proud of it she's soooooooooo beautiful!!!

[@sundargautambabaji]

you are the sources of motivation

[@maxshrapnel8998]

clearly it does she wouldnt get work otherwise

[@FEDEL89]

Idc about that virtiligo......she's beautiful omg

[@MegF142857]

Great role model.

[@y6y660]

MegF shes not a nice person

[@jessicacarnell4685]

Why is it perfectly mirrored?

[@Mitche23]

Now i know how austin powers felt when he met "The MOLE"

[@paiged347]

Honest saying people only care only coz she's famous, a celebrity ,a star whatever if not no one will give a damn. Peace✌

[@simonasajan2281]

Lilly in the background though!! 😂😂

[@rheasudesan4735]

Don't get how you can say your skin doesn't define you when your making a whole career out of it. I dont have the condition nearly as bad as her, but her actions have destroyed my life.

[@lolagw1842]

Winnie is such an adorable name! Your so pwetty!!!! :3

[@61shirley]

Your skin does define you else you wouldn't feel the need to talk about it. Appearances play a big roll and it's nothing sinister, it's part of being a packing dwelling mammal.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Never heard of her.

[@Samuel115s]

winnie? I thought her name was chantelle. I swear she was called chantelle on ANTM.

[@mianagyfilm]

Samuel115s I know it said Chantelle Winnie something

[@Samuel115s]

*****​ oh ok. I like chantelle better.

[@smilingvibrato909]

0:34 aww Zendaya and Lilly Singh

[@newyyykkll]

they should make a black mirror episode about her

[@nateabitgreat]

yaaaaaas gurl! slay!

[@horroranonymous]

*OMG SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL* ❤️

[@danielfernandez3340]

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE N INSIDE . LOVE U WINNIE.

[@Avipatel.10]

I’m to suffering with this problem

[@sergeantbigp]

when you haven't steal anything for a week.

[@jennamichellelieder3837]

sergeant big p you aren't funny

[@minimallie6507]

sergeant big p stole*

[@elijaharvinger1178]

i have the same condition and i think she is sexy af. it never bothered me at all in fact i like being unique

[@britannia5370]

Why define yourself by your illness, it's talent that counts

[@CaviteChe]

Just curious what Winnie looks like completely naked!

[@mdot-15]

I actually think you are pretty it is like a piece of art I wish I had you skin condition you are so pretty don’t let no body think that you are ugly because you skin those people need to understand that there are people that are really different in the real world 🌎 so don’t let people hurt your feelings believe in your self be you and be out there you know...

[@lenniegodber7805]

If her skin colour doesn't define her then she should probably stop yapping on about it maybe? No, it may not define her but she definitely uses it to put forward a victim narrative and to boost her image

[@newyyykkll]

Nothing wrong to be an opportunist

[@kavyakumar2807]

Lennie Godber thts wt she is saying abt , modelling is not easy n it takes a lot of care taken n confidence n she is saying tht apart frm her skin condition she is confident on her ability n skills n she probably want to spread tht positive vibes wid inspiring other humans lik her to achieve with confidence n dedication

[@emeryell8785]

Lennie Godber are you kidding em? She doesn't play the victim role at all, in fact she puts forth the complete opposite.

[@Ace-od8en]

that's the most fucked up thing I think ive heard in a while.. pretty sure you're just a jealous b*tch

[@mauriciosouza8361]

Belíssima 💌

[@ukaszb4976]

beautiful woman!!!!

[@annapetra1441]

i cant take my eyes off her. and yes, its also because of her skin

[@outof_simshead]

I just wanna have a conversation with the fools who teased her as a kid😂😂 they probably mad mad

[@undefinable1736]

The fact we searched because of her skin color

[@barry486]

I wish I was as pretty as her ❤️❤️

[@wierd_af5501]

WINNIE OMG EVEN THOE U HAVE THE SKIN DEASES I THINK THAT IT MAKES U LOOK SOOOOOOOOO PRETTY OH MY GOOOOOOOD

[@lyamit364]

Wow... beautiful

[@clarahall7696]

YUS SUPERWOMAN

[@marilenasaraidari3932]

I'm getting tired of her. Yes her skin doesn't define her but she does nothing but talking about it all the time!

[@joansophia5272]

Mehn she is soo pretty

[@no4869]

When the N word pass expires:

[@uzziahtamang1311]

Winni harlow..i..realy..like..u

I know how it feels but mines 10x better because I have a white spot on the folds of my arms.

[@두두-f2w]

[@malakesamesam1580]

[@AbhaySingh-mx7fo]

There is no matter what's ur body conditions she is role model n a brand for 1% people in the world who has been suffer from vitiligo

[@schokineko]

amen

[@chosenforareason4727]

She only had the entitlement of black and woman, she now had the Tri-fecta of woman-victim, , black-victim and burn-victim.

[@xdidizockx8131]

I love the pattern on her mouth tho 😍😂

[@lu-mf7by]

Yo she's more prettier than me. And I want that nose. That body

[@Official_aj19]

❤️🙏💯

[@mariluciaoliveira8616]

She low key looks like Kim kardashian

[@snakeboy188]

with this condition is your skin more sensitive than usual or does your skin feel normal?

[@cherryca89]

snakeboy188 how would she know what normal feels like becuase if it was sensitive she would feel like that's normal most likely

[@snakeboy188]

That's true

[@snakeboy188]

Good point

[@marineforces3214]

The headline is complete & massive, misleading irresponsible nonsense. It only may work for public actions to look at. From a private point of view, I can define anything I want. It's my right, not to like anyone, ...without hair, his handicap or even the colors of his shoes. Being black or yellow or whatever does not allow u to take over whenever u want, my private life !!! Facing the law u have the right to be treated equal, nothing more, nothing less.

[@kushinaa1XD]

Marine Forces you missed the whole point of this video.

[@binodrauniyar118]
