Dania Ramirez is the Newest Face of CoverGirl Cosmetics
Dania Ramirez, who plays Maya on Heroes, is the
newest face of CoverGirl cosmetics.
Dania joins Queen Latifah, Ellen DeGeneres and Drew Barrymore as a Cover Girl.
The 29-year old beauty, best known for her role as Maya on Heroes, jokes that while her deal may have just come to fruition this summer, in her mind "it"s been in the works my whole life. I've always dreamed of being a CoverGirl." Not that it's always been an easy path for the Dominic Repbulic-born actress. She tells People that she's especially excited about becoming a CoverGirl spokesmodel because, "I'm bringing my story, a story of struggle and hard work. Not speaking the language [when I got to America] and trying to figure out my definition of beauty, you learn to recognize the beauty in all of us. It takes a strong person to get where I've got."
But of course, that doesn't mean that Dania doesn't love the girlier things in life, like her CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain. "If I could walk around telling people how great it is, I would!" she enthuses. "It adds color to your lips and lasts so long, but doesn't make [your lips] sticky."
Dania will star in print and television ads starting in January, 2010.
