     At 16, Jessica was discovered in her hometown of Buffalo, NY and made
 the brave move to Paris. Within six months, she landed campaigns for Chloe
 and the Gap. Soon, Jessica was walking the runways for New York's top
 designers including Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, and Tommy
 Hilfiger. She also landed in the pages of Harper's Bazaar and Teen Vogue.
 
     Jessica's big break to supermodel status came in 2003 when she was
 chosen for Sports Illustrated's famed Swimsuit issue. Jessica went on to
 model in the next four successive issues. This was a first in history for
 an African American woman. Jessica quickly made headlines and was deemed
 the new Iman by the international press.
 
     In 2006, her supermodel title was solidified when she appeared on the
 catwalk of the famed Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. At 23, Jessica is
 poised to be an absolute star in the industry.
 
     Jessica represents the essence of the Maybelline woman: she is
 sophisticated, worldly-wise, and involved. In her spare time Jessica works
 on a charitable foundation she founded called "Angel Wings" which provides
 under privileged children in her hometown of Buffalo an opportunity to have
 new experiences and follow their dreams just as she has.
 
     "We are thrilled to have Jessica White representing Maybelline New
 York," says Serena Giovi, Vice President of Marketing for Maybelline New
 York*Garnier. "Her striking beauty and spark for life, makes her a perfect
 choice for our brand."
 
     Jessica is elated to be under contract with Maybelline New York
 alongside one of her favorite models of all time Christy Turlington.
 "Maybelline products are a part of every woman's life and I am so honored
 to represent the African American community for a brand I have grown up
 with," says Jessica.
 
     Jessica has worked with the world's top photographers such as Steven
 Meisel, Mario Sorrenti, Craig McDean, Patrick Demarchelier, Peter
 Lindbergh, Mario Testino, Inez and Vinoohd, Steven Klein, Mert and Marcus
 and David Sims. Jessica also appeared in the movie "Big Momma's House 2" as
 well as a music video for singer John Legend and rapper Jay-Z.
 
     Jessica will make her sensational television and print debut for
 Maybelline New York in February 2008.
