We meet Adam Pearson who has Neurofibromatosis and Louisa Day, a beautician who spends two hours a day getting ready for work.
We meet Michael, who has a severe facial disfigurement and Laura, who regularly spends up to 6000 a month on cosmetic work alone.
We meet Jessica, who has had 13 surgeries to remove a tumour on her face and Chloe, a model who has been refused liposuction because she doesn't have enough fat to warrant it.

Andy Tedder, who has Treacher Collins, a genetic condition that caused his facial development to stop in the womb, meets Elicia Davies, the reigning Miss Manchester who spends around 4 hours getting ready for a night out.
We meet Susan Campbell, who has had over 60 reconstructive operations due to a rare cancer and Sarah Burge, the 'Botox Barbie' who has spent over $500,000 on cosmetic surgery.
We live in a society obsessed with physical perfection, surrounded by images of unattainable beauty. Can someone who lives with a facial disfigurement convince a self-confessed beauty addict that true beauty comes from within?
