It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One comment can easily change how you see yourself, but luckily one compliment can have the same effect — helping you see beauty within yourself and others, no matter how unique or different you may be. To show us exactly why it's important to be nice in this sometimes-negative world, we asked four women to share how a compliment about one of their features — from vibrant red hair to flawless skin — helped them discover and embrace their unique beauty.
