The stunning beauty's pictures created such a buzz and finally caught the eye of L'Oreal talent scouts. The teen then announced this week that she had signed on to star in a series of beauty tutorials as part of a L'Oreal social media campaign in Belgium, The Independent reported.

"Made my decision . . . signed my contract with L'Oreal!" Despiegelaere posted on her now-deleted Facebook, according to Business Insider.
