17-Year-Old Bullied For Her Thick Eyebrows Lands Massive Modeling Jobs
Natalia Castellar was mocked as a youngster by other children for her thick, dark eyebrows, but now the 17-year-old has shut down her haters after landing a modeling job.
“When I was younger they were all anyone would point out. I was bullied terribly because of how thick and long they were, so I wanted to shave them down,” Natalia said. However, she managed to turn a blind eye to all the hate and her new attitude gained an impressive following on social media, which earned Castellar a contract with NEXT Models, which is listed as one of the top modeling agencies in the world.

“When I was younger [my eyebrows] were all anyone would point out,” says 17-year-old Natalia
“I was bullied terribly because of how thick and long they were”
Natalia even wanted to shave her eyebrows
“Now I don’t care if they stay trendy or not, I love my eyebrows”
Her confident new attitude got Natalia a contract with NEXT Models
And she already posed for NARS and Mansur Gavriel
“They’re my trademark, and I wish I would have embraced them sooner”
Natalia is very excited about her upcoming career
“I can’t wait to travel and work. I’m the type of person that’s content when they’re constantly doing something”
“A lot of trolls [still] leave nasty comments about my eyebrows, but I don’t give in and respond, because that’s what they want”

She looks like Frida Kahlo! Amazing. Well done to her for not caring for the haters.
I thought the same thing! She's beautiful.
Her eyebrows are on FLEEK!
Master Frida!
She's gorgeous oml :o)
Her eyebrows are magnificent. I am jealous *.*
Saaaame :o)
Wow! Gorgeous! She would've been hailed as a queen in the 80's!!!
what? why bully her? I think she's cute. probably a bunch of jealous cats
The recurring them that your flaws could be your greatest asset is great, but there are soooo many stories about a bullied child who became a model on bored panda. Every child gets bullied, but getting a modeling career is not the only (or maybe even the best) way to validate your worth or even your beauty.
It's a little too "They'll like me when I'm famous"
omg, she is BEAUTIFUL!
Most every model I work with and train for the industry goes through daily bullying. Do you eat? Are you sick. You are too tall. You have no figure. The hardest thing eveyry young model has to learn is to get past all the constant hating and belittling that goes on in their daily lives and embrace the diffferences that allow them to do things and go places mundane folks will never experience.
Definitely thicker than most but pulls it off. She's gorgeous.
she is drop-dead gorgeous. and anyone bullying a girl for her eyebrows well... has clearly too much time on their hands, and i'm just trying to put it nicely... blah.
so pwetty
Gorgeous!!!
The bigger the eyebrows, the hotter the woman.
She's absolutely beautiful
With or without themyou are a beautifull person.
Absolutely stunning! I can't wait to show this to my 9yr old daughter. She has a dark "unibrow" that ppl tease her about.. she has an innate confidence but sometimes wants to shave it too. She's beautiful enough that it doesn't matter, and I don't want to encourage her that it matters. She can decide when she's older. What do you girls think?
at least she's got some real ones.
She was f'ing picked on, not bullied! Suck it up buttercup, we all catch sh*t for something
People have really lost sight of what bullying really means
"Picking on" someone is a form of bullying ...so suck that up.
Picking on someone is classed as bullying!
Oh I know people like to "class" it as bullying. My point is people have become to sensitive and call everything bullying, and most isn't.
She can be like "how's this bitches!" To those who bullied her
And THAT would be so laim and something that some cave man would happy to say.
She's gorgeous. This story highlights the fact that bullies are weak-minded people who see someone with a unique look, ability or talent, etc. and that threatens them, so they resort to bullying. An old story that keeps repeating itself, generation to generation.
Beautiful naturally but please stop spoiling the pose by doing duck face even a very small one....
Thank you Natalia for having the courage to be yourself ❤
Am I the only one completely jealous of her eyebrows?? Like I'm swooning over here rn. Lol
TAKE THAT BULLIES!!!!!!
Glad that she's embracing her unique style
The last one is way too open

They are unusually thick, but some places consider this erotic and some consider it the norm.
Woo rock those awesome brows!
Why do people have to be suck jack asses? This is one beautiful young lady.
Why would anyone want to bash you for having such gorgeous eyebrows?!!! I love your eyebrows! <3 Keep at it, girl!
That's nice that she doesn't let people's opinions affect her self esteem. Though it seems that she is being intentionally militant about it. They do distract from her otherwise exotic good looks and make her appear very masculine, but if that's what she likes she has every right. It seems strange that she would initiate attention like this article unless she just really wants attention good or bad. The first photo does make her look like she has a facial beard. She not only loves her thick busy brows she also greatly enhances them with a browser pencil.
Well at least she has brows. Some of my friends are self conscious because their brows are nonexistent
Is that real eyebrows(someone pls answer)? She's looks so beautiful and with that thick eyebrows she even looks gorgeous*.*
The whole article is about her eyebrows. That they are real, and that she has just recently learned to like them, because she was bullied before!
Mindblown of how thick they are but she's beautiful!
beautiful human
beautiful
I just felt in love with her eyebrows
never knew about her eyebrows till she mentioned them she could be the next actress in the movie unibrow. preety girl
Have you seen her eyebrows? =)
A beautiful Frida Kahlo! Georgeous! There are women who fill in their brows to look like yours. Be proud of your brows. They are natural & amazing! Can't wait to see you on a magazine cover!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You worry about people being idiot about physical appearance and you get yourself into modeling... Sorry, I don't get it....
she look good and even beautiful with that eyebrows..
Other than your eyebrows, you're pretty.
They're probably mocking her because they are jealous and have to draw on their own eyebrows... >.>

Take that, haters ! THIS IS WHY, when you get bullied, you need to hang in there, because you never know what's around the corner ! What if she had done something drastic from all the bullying like so many kids?
Jet, she DID something drastic. :)

She is pretty but her eyebrows are awful. They could easily be fixed. Anyone I've shown has said the same thing. It's one thing when it is something that can't be changed, it's another when it's something so simple to fix.
