Lana Condor is the latest face and global ambassador of the beauty giant. 

Do you like long, romantic walks through the makeup aisle? Do you want to throw a little shade on the skeptics with a flashy new eyeshadow? Do you want to get a quick curl, lift, and pump going with a snazzy, sleek mascara? Do you want your brows to be as bold as you?  Do you want 2021 to be built on a stronger foundation?  If you are a self-proclaimed beauty mogul or answered yes to any of these questions, then this news may excite you: Lana Condor is Ms. New Beauty.

On Thursday, July 23 the rising actress Lana Condor took to Instagram to announce her partnership with the leading skincare and cosmetic brand Neutrogena. Condor captioned her Instagram photo, “…I am thrilled to partner with Neutrogena. I’ve waited so long to tell you all the news and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share. I have been a true fan of the brand for as long as I’ve known about skincare and it’s truly an honor to be able to work with them! Here we go!”

The beauty brand also revealed the exciting news, “IT’S OFFICIAL! @lanacondor is now part of our Neutrogena family and we couldn’t be more excited.”

Amid Black Lives Matter, beauty brands worldwide have been under attack for pushing Eurocentric beauty standards and failing to champion all consumers. Historically, beauty brand ambassadors have been disproportionately caucasian, a poor representation of a company’s clientele. The Vietnamese-American star of the To All the Boys franchise has been extremely vocal about representation and diversity, especially in the cinematic sphere.

Condor strives to incorporate Vietnamese culture into her personal life via food and dress and notably, uses her high-profile platform to champion Asian Americans. The public is relieved to see Neutrogena partner with such an admirable activist.

The 23-year-old actress shared her excitement at being Neutrogena’s latest global ambassador during a video-chat with Allure. This is Condor’s first time partnering with the brand and she is grateful for the opportunity. The star revealed to InStyle that she has been a longtime customer of Neutrogena and “Nothing compares to Neutrogena makeup remover wipes. These wipes have a permanent place in my vanity and set bag.”

Condor’s beauty advice could become your new mantra. Glowing skin is always in; we look forward to seeing this iconic partnership materialize.
