Instagram model claps back at haters over her bushy brows
Updated | By Damon Beard
Refusing to be defined by beauty standards, this 21-year-old model hopes to be a light to those who experience bullying and who are made to feel that they are not enough.
A Cypriot-British model named Sophia Hadjipanteli has caused quite a stir on social media - and has got many of her followers and the media talking.
UNILAD reports that her career started when she was just 15, and she has featured on the cover of Vogue Italia. Now the 21-year-old has over 154,000 Instagram followers, proving her popularity.

Sophia has a bushy unibrow which some adore, while others have hated on her, even going on to say that she is trying to seek attention. Can you ever?!
During her childhood, her mom didn't allow her to pluck her eyebrows, so she just left it that way and grew into them. It became her own unique style. Yes, this 21-year-old is bringing back the unibrow.
Instead of allowing the trolls and haters get to her, she is embracing herself for who she is and feels confident enough to pose for the world to see.

"I know people's reactions will either be very positive or very negative. I wish they were all positive, but they're not, and that doesn't mean I'm going to stop what I'm doing," she told UNILAD in an interview.
In a nutshell, she’s stopped feeling the pressure to conform to anyone else's beauty ideals and I absolutely love it. More often than not, men and women alike compare themselves to celebrities and feel obligated to look a certain way.
Remember to embrace yourself for who you are. Yes, society sometimes may not like it, but remember that the only person that matters, in the end, is you.
Sophia - keep shining!
