e.l.f. Cosmetics' Super Bowl Ad Stars Jennifer Coolidge & "Baby Dolphin Skin"

For its first-ever Big Game commercial, Gen Z makeup brand e.l.f. Cosmetics enlisted Jennifer Coolidge and writer Mike White (both known for the hit series White Lotus) for a Super Bowl ad spot called Baby Dolphin Skin. The spot features the brand's Power Grip Primer, a clean, vegan and cruelty-free product that's described as "the stickiest example of e.l.f.’s superpowers."

This viral TikTok product is experienced for the first time by Coolidge in the commercial and how her skin becomes more dewy, glowy and "dolphin-like" as a result.

For a limited time, fans can shop the limited-edition Dolphin Face Bundle from the cosmetic brand, which includes fan-favorite products like the Power Grip Primer, Halo Glow Liquid Filter and O FACE Satin Lipstick.
