Now this is something I think is awesome! Ellen DeGeneres has now become the newest face for CoverGirl! Ellen, who although is a celebrity, really represents the “everyday” type of woman out there. Her charm, wit, compassion and drive are representative of women everywhere and someone I know I can relate to…more so than say Gieselle? Yes.
Pictured above: Ellen DeGeneres gears up for her first ad shoot with CoverGirl Cosmetics. Ads for her first campaign with the brand will appear in January 2009.
Give your two cents! What do you think of Ellen as a CoverGirl?

The new cover girl make up looks very interesting
& I have thought about trying it.
The fact that Ellen DeGeneres is your model turns me totally off with it.
Noel you just said that perfectly!
Love new ideas. And I am positive that Cover Girl will have much more appeal by selling the image of Ellen. Ellen’s image is much more than just sexual orientation. It represents diversity and self-acceptance. It will sell the idea that we are beautiful, just the way we are.
Dawn, you are writing on a beauty blog, not CoverGirl’s site. They’re not here listening, I am simply reporting the news.
Also, I think its disheartening to hear that you won’t buy a good product simply because one of their spokespeople happens to be a lesbian. I don’t think it promotes same sex relationships by a long shot. They have several spokepeople and they choose them to reach different demographics. If you don’t like Ellen, then go with Drew Barrymore.
I have worn Covergirl for years!! I am sad to find out I can no longer be a customer. The factd that your company chooses to promote same sex relationships is disheartning and has guided my decision to boycot your product.
I love it! She is so funny and smart and cool. It is a wonderful choice.
Yay for Ellen! I think its great that CoverGirl has chosen a modern, respected woman as their new spokesperson. We are not all tall, blonde, and perfect, so its always nice to see normal, non-model-like women on TV.
I think it’s great that she’s the new Cover Girl spokes-model! She is a great role model for women and children both straight and homosexual. Plus she’s funny!
Hi Michelle,
I respect your opinion. And I am far from being lesbian–lol. But I looked at the picture of her above and I hardly think she looks masculine there. In fact, I surprised myself thinking how pretty she looked. I’ve always loved Ellen, no matter her sexual orientation, I think what I meant more is that personality is relatable. I relate to her through her humor. I think she was a great choice for CoverGirl–unique, but still great.
Ellen is funny and has a nice face. But is an emphatically masculine lesbian a representation of the “everyday” woman? I don’t think so.
