If you've never heard of Herieth Paul, let this be an introduction. The 17-year-old stunner has just returned from the New York and Milan catwalks, but still manages to take time out for school and friends. On top of all that — and more — Herieth can also be seen in CK One's new Shock perfume campaign. I recently spent a few minutes getting to know Herieth, so to see a glimpse into the life of a model just starting out, keep reading.

Some of you roll your eyes when you hear another supermodel fretting about her job. I mean, what else does she have to do other than to look pretty, right? Paulina Porizkova writes in the Huffington Post:

But unlike those other gifts also allotted at birth: talent, strength, wit or intelligence --which you have to cultivate to fully develop before you reap rewards-- beauty is instant. Just add water, and boom, you can get lots of extra attention from people, and later, you can become a model, a stripper, a girlfriend of someone famous or a TV personality.

Paulina says the supermodel career is commonly seen as a "shallow calling," but it's really not fair because models are just capitalizing on their natural talent. After all, would you consider it shallow for J.K. Rowling to take advantage of her knack for storytelling? I imagine being a model is no easy job — having the constant limelight on you can be very stressful. The pressure to be thin and catty co-workers makes modeling a lot tougher than it seems.

Most models work for many years in hopes of landing a cosmetics contract, but Constance Jablonski has defied the odds. After only two years of modeling, the 19-year-old has become Estée Lauder's first French brand ambassador, joining the ranks of superstars like Hilary Rhoda and Elizabeth Hurley. After meeting her at the Plaza Athénée in Paris, it's easy to see why she's having an amazing career. Yes, she's gorgeous, but she's also lovely, intelligent, charming, and grateful for the opportunities that have come her way. For the first part of our interview, in which Constance talks about her new role and her secret to great skin, keep reading.
