Model agents<\/a> at Talent Management first took note of teen beauty Cassandra Bankson when she uploaded a video on YouTube showcasing her make-up routine.<\/p>\n

But, as we’re sure you’ll all know by now, it wasn’t just any old make-up tutorial. The 10-minute video, which has now gone viral with almost 40 million hits, reveals the make-up tricks she uses to hide her acne.
\n
\nThe young teen, now 19-years-old, bravely revealed her make-up free self on camera, exposing the severe spots marking the skin on her face, neck and back.<\/p>\n

Since then, Cassandra has garnered huge media attention, revealing in interviews that she endured years of bullying over her cystic acne, which was diagnosed at 14.<\/p>\n

But it seems that the ‘bullied acne-ridden teen’, as she’s become affectionately known in the papers, has had the last laugh having just been booked as a model at New York Fashion Week.<\/p>\n

At STYLE360 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea, the 5’11 brunette confidently hit the catwalk for US label Boy Meets Girl, showcasing pieces from their spring\/summer 2013 collection at one of the biggest fashion events in the world.<\/p>\n

And, as well as attracting attention from UK model agency<\/a> Talent Management, Cassandra has had a similar reception in the US, having been signed by a number of model agencies across the states.<\/p>\n

Since being signed, she’s already bagged some pretty impressive photographic modelling jobs, including working for contemporary fashion brand Bebe and world-famous car manufacturer Range Rover.<\/p>\n

But the recent Boy Meets Girl job marked her first catwalk experience. Discussing the job at NYFW, she told the New York Post<\/a>: “It feels like a dream to be here during Fashion Week… I am a different person from who I used to be because I\u2019ve got so much more confidence now.”<\/p>\n

Since posting that initial video, the teen model has shared more of her tips on her YouTube channel ‘diamondsandheels14’, and the team at the model agency<\/a> can’t wait to see more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
