Constance Jablonski & Liu Wen: Beauty is Diverse

Ph. Craig McDean

"Every woman can be beautiful." --- Estée Lauder

On Wednesday, Estée Lauder invited beauty editors from all over the world to attend its special press event, in which it promoted new products and new campaigns for the brand. As two of EL's prominent spokesmodels, Constance and Liu Wen were in tow, greeting guests and giving interviews throughout the day as well as attending a special dinner at the Standard Hotel afterward. It was an unprecedented, inspiring celebration of  women, and it reminds us all that the beauty and strength of the female population is truly what makes the world go around.

Fashionista
"...Liu’s porcelain complexion makes her the perfect skin care advocate, while Constance would be great for hair or makeup."

Grazia Daily
"...Tom Pecheux as EL's new Creative Makeup Director...told us backstage at fashion week in February that Constance is his favourite model!"

MODTV
"Two of the hottest faces in fashion have just signed with cosmetic giant Estée Lauder."

Models.com
"With their pristine looks and natural refinement, both models are perfect representatives of 21st century beauty..."

Modelinia
"And for this news, Estee Lauder deserves a bit of heralding. Not only is Constance the first French model to sign with by the beauty brand, but Liu is the first Chinese model. We say, bravo."

New York Mag
"A cosmetics contract is the Holy Grail of modeling — the single highly lucrative booking that all models strive for after years of toiling away on low-paying runway and editorial jobs. As two of fashion's most desirable faces of the moment, they couldn't have been hired by Estée Lauder at a better time."

Stylelist
"Estee Lauder is about to add some spice to its stable of girl-next-door-looking beauties."


Thank you to all for the coverage and support!

"[Craig] McDean shot two models that day: Constance Jablonski, the blonde teenager from Lille whose brother wrote to a modeling agency that his sister was the most beautiful girl in France (They agreed), and China's Liu Wen, who entered a modeling competition in high school with no greater goal than winning the grand prize -- a laptop -- and has since become the biggest thing to come out of her country since Ziyi Zhang. Neither is American, but once the film came in, both were immediately chosen to represent what is perhaps the most thoroughly American brand."
