Claudia, a 20-year-old makeup artist, was born with a rare skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa (EB) that causes her skin to be extremely fragile and blister into wounds covering up to 80% of her body. Despite the progressive nature of EB and the lack of a cure, Claudia has found comfort in makeup artistry, using it as a creative outlet during her challenging high school years. With the support of her parents, Claudia has become a skilled artist, sharing her work with a growing following on social media. Her resilience and accomplishments have boosted her self-esteem, demonstrating her ability to overcome any obstacle that comes her way.
