Grammy-award winning artist Janelle Monae is the newest CoverGirl spokesmodel. The 26 year-old shares with Vogue.com how this coveted beauty post has long been a makeup inspiration.
“Growing up and trying to find myself as a woman and experimenting with makeup, I’d go buy magazines,†she says. “I’d see Tyra Banks [in the CoverGirl ads] and I’d think, Wow, she’s beautiful. It never looked like she had on too much makeup. There was just something clean and classic about her face.â€
This music beauty is known for her sky-high natural hair pompadour, radiantly beautiful skin, long lashes and pop-color lips. She also hopes that her new role as a spokesmodel will help to empower young women to find the star within themselves.
“I believe in the idea of every woman finding their own beauty superpowers,
“I want to help redefine what it means to be a strong woman in the music and fashion worlds.â€

Congratulations Janelle!
