Oscar winning actress Lupita Nyong’o is the face of the new campaign ad for Lancôme’s Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Lasting Foundation.

“The secret I never intended to keep: @lancomeUSA#TeintIdoleUltra24H,” reads the caption on the photo posted to her Instagram account on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old Kenyan beauty joins brand supporters Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Lily Collins.

The French brand hand picked Nyong’o for the campaign earlier this year saying,

Her instinctive and sophisticated talent and one of a kind beauty, both delicate and strength-exuding, has taken the world by storm. She is an outstanding example of a natural beauty; confident and simply true to herself, she embraces life with freshness, citing happiness as the most attractive form of radiance.

Radiant she is, with her chocolaty-smooth skin and gorgeous brown eyes.

“I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history and that I have always loved,” the 12 Years a Slave star said.

“Lupita is by essence the Lancôme woman,” said Françoise Lehmann, General Manager of Lancôme International.  “A strikingly beautiful and intelligent woman, serenely but strongly living her life her own way, Lupita has this special kind of aura both enlightening and deep.”

Nyong’o’s flawless campaign photos radiate extreme beauty and femininity. Lancôme could not have chosen a better ambassador.
