Janelle Monae is CoverGirl

Janelle Monae is understated, very underrated and a classic-cool beauty. Her makeup is the mark of a true expert, and it flawlessly combines natural beauty with a touch of glam. When CoverGirl announced last week that singer Pink would appear in the makeup company's upcoming ads, I was so happy and suprised. Recently, Covergirl announced that singer Janelle Monáe, who is best known for her menswear-inspired style and signature pompadour, would also be a CoverGirl. Of her new role, Monáe told Vogue.com: “Growing up and trying to find myself as a woman and experimenting with makeup, I’d go buy magazines,” she says. “I’d see Tyra Banks and I’d think, Wow, she’s beautiful. It never looked like she had on too much makeup. There was just something clean and classic about her face". Janelle is absolutely beautiful and I'm so happy for her accomplishments. This is a bold statement that beauty comes in all shapes and forms.
