Charli then explained why she’s making the decision to show off her natural skin texture after NBC reporter Kat Tenbarge praised her for not editing out her acne.

“It’s taken me a long time to feel comfortable in my skin but this is how I look and makeup only helps so much,” she wrote. “I have to be confident and learn to love every “imperfection” that I have but each one makes me unique and special in my own way.”

Fans called Charli their “role model” for her stance on confidence, and some praised her for being an inspiration to young girls online.

The TikTok sensation is continuing to get more popular across multiple social media platforms, and it looks like she could even be set to make her acting debut soon, meaning fans have plenty to look forward to from the star in the future.
