“Insecure” star and creator Issa Rae is the new face of CoverGirl Cosmetics. The actress posted a message on social media on Tuesday (Sept. 12) confirming that she and the iconic brand will team up on a new campaign. Unfortunately, no details on the campaign was revealed. “In all my awkward, black years I never imagined I’d be a @COVERGIRL! SO honored & SO excited,” she wrote. “My character is ever-evolving, and makeup is a tool to help transform my persona – whether for a role I play in content that I produce, or the different roles I take on in my life. Becoming a COVERGIRL means a lot because the brand recognizes just how important it is for people to embrace their individuality and express themselves in unique and diverse ways. This has been a major part of my personal journey, and a message that I want to share with others.” Issa Rae is the latest of several women of color who has collaborated with CoverGirl in the past: Rihanna, Zendaya, and Queen Latifah to name of few.
