The first advertisement she will appear on, for the brand’s “Go Mascara,” arrives this month.

“It is an honor to be a spokesperson for such an iconic brand,” Dunn said in a press statement published on Vogue.co.uk. “I am proud to say that I am a Maybelline girl and hopefully I can make people feel the same way I did when I saw the advertisements growing up. The brand imagery is always beautiful and positive. To now be a part of that is a dream come true!”
She even took time to announce it on Twitter.
