Ellen DeGeneres for CoverGirl

— September 17, 2008 — Fashion
Ellen DeGeneres is not the first name that pops into my head when I think of femininity and beauty product models. However, Ellen DeGeneres has been announced as the new spokesmodel for CoverGirl.

Ellen DeGeneres will be starring in a new ad campaign that will launch in January 2009 for CoverGirl, a makeup line by Procter & Gamble Cosmetics.

“Ellen is the quintessential CoverGirl,” said Esi Eggleston Bracey, a Procter & Gamble vice president, in a statement. “She is smart, confident, natural and beautiful from the inside out.”
