Here it is at last, a first peek at Lupita Nyong’o’s debut Lancôme ad.
Naturally, she looks like a flawless angel, complete with the kind of radiant skin most of us will spend our entire lives trying to achieve. The ad is particularly refreshing, though, because it features something not commonly seen in a beauty ad: her pores. Of course, she still looks gorgeous.
Also worth noting says The Fashion Spot “It’s incredibly rare to see a woman of colour with Nyong’o’s skin tone in a foundation advertisement, women with darker skin tones are often significantly under-represented. But, the foundation featured — the Teint Idole Ultra 24H — comes in 28 shades. Kudos to her for representing a product that, in turn, represents such a wide range of skin tones.”
