The actress-host revealed in her beauty book 'This is Me, Love Marie' that she was once insecure about her chinita features. But it was her dad who told her to embrace her uniqueness since everyone in her batch of artists were mestiza.

But, for the beauty author, the long list of flaws doesn’t end there. She told GMANetwork.com during her book launch, "When you see Kendall Jenner and her never ending long legs, I feel like I wish I can wear jeans and wear my heels. Definitely, I'm insecure about my height.”
 
It’s also a surprise that this actress finds something strange about her pretty face and proportionate body, “Sometimes I feel like my face is too small or my neck or whatever.”
 
As she turned 30, Heart learned to love and accept herself wholeheartedly. She said, “This is who I am, and I love myself. I'm not [going to] allow myself to get hurt anymore that's why I accepted my flaws. I embraced it and, who I am today, I'm actually proud of who I am with my flaws.”

The Chinita beauty has been in the industry for 17 years, and it took her a long time to accept everything because she “cared too much what everybody thought.” She spent years explaining herself but “it was too much of an effort.”
 
The Beautiful Strangers star had enough of what the public say about her and this time she has one solid message for everyone, “You know what, 'Love me, hate me, I can't do anything anymore.'”
