For the first time, female athletes have been named as the face of CoverGirl cosmetics. Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin and Alicia Sacramone from the USA Gymnastics team were recently signed to join the CoverGirl family. As three of the biggest gymnastics stars, these athletes emulate the iconic image of the CoverGirl brand with fresh, natural beauty. Shawn, Nastia and Alicia join a roster of famous spokesmodels such as Drew Barrymore, Rihanna and Queen Latifah.

“Shawn, Nastia and Alicia are wonderful additions to the CoverGirl family, representing CoverGirl ideals of both inner and outer beauty,” said Esi Eggleston Bracey, Vice President and General Manager, CoverGirl Cosmetics in North America. “We want to honor their confidence and help them shine in the spotlight. We are thrilled they are lending their beautiful faces to CoverGirl.”

In addition to their new roles, Shawn, Nastia and Alicia received the ultimate star treatment when Molly Stern, CoverGirl’s celebrity makeup artist, created customized looks for the gymnasts to sport during the world’s premiere competitions.

“I’m excited to be working with Shawn, Nastia and Alicia,” said Molly. “I created customized looks for each of the athletes to accentuate and celebrate their natural beauty and individuality so they can be confident while competing.”

CoverGirl and Molly Stern are delighted to contribute to the gymnasts’ confidence. “The way we look is a big part of our gymnastics performance,” said Shawn, Nastia and Alicia. “If we look good, we are more confident and are able to perform better during our competitions.”

As CoverGirl brand ambassadors, Shawn Johnson, 16, of West Des Moines, Iowa; Nastia Liukin, 18, of Parker, Texas; and Alicia Sacramone, 20, of Winchester, Massachusetts will be role models for the millions of CoverGirl consumers across the country.
