Liya Kebede will be using her flawless visage in her role as the new face of L'Oreal Paris.

The global beauty brand recently announced that it had named the Ethiopian supermodel its ambassador. Top brass at the cosmetics company felt her beauty and off-camera endeavors made her a perfect fit for the job.

“Liya is a very strong, inspiring and courageous woman with an extremely refined and enchanting beauty. Her generous commitment to the cause of women’s wellbeing is also remarkable,” said L'Oreal Paris President Cyril Chapuy.

The supermodel, a mother of two, also has a children's clothing line named Lemlem, which is made entirely from sustainable materials.
