A mum who was badly bullied as a young girl due to the port-wine stain birthmark on her face says her fiancé has never seen her without make-up on.
Emily Hallett, 33, was born with a birthmark covering nearly half of her face and has since spent her entire adult life painstakingly concealing it beneath a thick layer of foundation.
The childminder, from Leatherhead, Surrey, is so self-conscious about her birthmark that she won't let her fiancé, Adam, 33, see what she looks like without make-up on.
