She hoped that by sharing her problem with acne and how she has learnt make-up tricks to hide it would help at least one person going through the same ordeal.
But teenager Cassandra Bankson has actually reached out to millions thanks to bravely taking to the internet to show off her severe skin complaint.
The 19-year-old posted a video on YouTube showing her red and blemished skin before applying make-up - and how she managed to make her face look flawless in just ten minutes thanks to her beauty tricks.
The video has since had 7.6million hits worldwide.
