She joins Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz, as ambassadors.

As fans of her striking beautiful black skin, we are so excited about it. She was recently vocal about beauty and darker skin. (click here to read)

The actress who became a world sensation through her role as Patsey on 12 Years a Slave, is excited about the new gig.

In a statement, she says “I am truly honoured to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman’s freedom to be herself.” she said.

Lupita is also the face of Miu Miu.

The Maison Lancome products will be available in Nigeria soon.
