Lupita Nyong’o is the new face of Lancome!

Actress Lupita Nyong’o makes history once again as she becomes the new face and the first African American spokeswoman for the brand.

The 12 Years A Slave star is coming off her success of winning her first Academy Award for her role in the movie.  So far, this actress has made a name for herself and is determined to make history.

Here is what she said about the new deal:

I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancome, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman’s freedom to be herself.

Congratulations to Lupita!
