Pinup from 1958

Looking to id this cover model from Smart, from 1958:

Throwing this at pimeyes, some clues came up that I could expand. Those look right to me:

But there was no name associated with them. Then there also those which I am more doubtful of, but anyway:

The first of those is in the Karen Steele thread, though that id is apparently disputed. For the Spick cover I found an id of Jean Carroll - on the Vintage Fetish website, which specialises in Spick & Span related things, and these mags commonly name the cover model inside. The Australian Cavalcade apparently does not name its cover model.

Regarding "Jean Carroll" I had this Italian cover stashed away in my records, which confirms (for me) the id of the Spick cover (and makes the id of Karen Steele a bit dubious), but I am not 100% this is the same girl as the one on Smart:

Hey beutelwolf, your girl caught my eye so I did some digging, found pretty much the same results as you with a couple of clues. First pic below was evidently on eBay at one time, there is print in the bottom margin but I can't make it out. Second pic is a cover of Jean Carroll looking more like your girl than the Mascotte cover. I'm still on the fence if about Karen Steele.
