Gigi Hadid is the new face of Maybelline.
The 19-year-old model – who is signed to prestigious modelling agency IMG – unveiled a behind the scenes photograph of her shoot for the cosmetics brand on her Instagram account today (14.0.15) where she thanked IMG manager Luiz Mattos and admitted it was a ”dream come true” to have teamed up with Maybelline.
She captioned the image: ”I’m so beyond honored & excited (at a loss for words, really) to be the new face of@Maybelline!
”Thank you so much to my team at @imgmodels @luizmattos1906 for believing in me and helping make this happen, and to the whole #MaybellineNewYork team for being so welcoming; it’s such a dream come true to be a part of this family (sic).”
The blonde beauty – who learned she had been selected as the company’s new face when she was presented with a gift by her agency which contained a contract finalizing her role – has been a fan of the brand since her school days and admitted to buying their makeup in secret.
She told Vogue.com: ”In middle school, I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup. I secretly bought Maybelline’s SuperStay 24HR concealer at CVS. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.”
Gigi – who began her modelling career aged just two – added she still has a lot to learn when it comes to beauty and always keeps an eye out for new tips when she gets her makeup done on shoots.
She explained: ”I pay attention to how every makeup artist does everything. You have to try different things to see what you like best.”
