Spokesmodel Alert: Drew Barrymore is a CoverGirl!

04/11/2007 at 05:12 PM ET

Not only is she a successful actress and producer, but Drew Barrymore can now add CoverGirl to her lengthy resume! Drew will not just be the face of the new campaign, but she will also be co-creative director for the tv commercials, debuting in January 2008. Esi Eggleston Bracey, Vice President and General Manager, CoverGirl Cosmetics in North America, says “we wanted to honor Drew’s passions as a filmmaker and are thrilled she is not only lending her beautiful face to CoverGirl but also lending her artistic talents as the co-creative director of the ad campaign.” But don’t worry — the actress isn’t exactly switching careers. “I leave the makeup and product up to them, that’s their expertise,” she told The Associated Press in a phone interview from the set. “What I want to do is honor the tradition of CoverGirl but hopefully bring myself and my personality into it, as well as some edgy fashion-forward thinking and positivity to it.” As for becoming a model, the actress joked, “What girl doesn’t fantasize about it?”

I love Drew!!! I think she has become a beautiful woman!!! I’ve loved her from the start she’s a class act I think more girls should go to her for advice in the hollywood industry … she’s been there and came out on top maybe she can teach others how to achieve that!!!

Elda on

And she’s the right person for it, go Drew!

Tylo on

Yay! I think CoverGirl made a great choice, Drew’s so sweet and has that pretty, all-american girl-next-door face!

Kristina on

Her hair looks AMAZING! And she looks genuinely happy, which is wonderful to see :)

PS. I love her eyeshadow….help me People.com, can you find out what brand and color it is????

Michele on

Covergirl made a great choice. Drew is smart, beautiful and a great role model for any young woman.

Amanda Beckman on

Who can say anything negative about Drew? She’s awesome; a great role model and such a fun personality. Go, Drew!!

Rudy on

This face is what I wish the face of Hollywood was- and I wish more role models were made from ladies like Drew here.

Drew Barrymore is one of the best people to date to be chosen as a Covergirl – she is a versatile and extremely gifted actress. I also believe she deserves this honor because she turned her life around from her troubled teen and preteen years and became the gorgeous and classy lady she is today.

The world needs more Drew Barrymores! Good luck to Drew on all her endeavors!

I personally am disappointed. Not because Drew isn’t adorable but because having once been a vegetarian who stood up for animal rights why would she knowingly sign up to endorse a company that still does cruel animal testing on their products. Money that’s why. As I said I am VERY disappointed.

Drew is an old spirit. She is beautiful inside and out. I love her new look and think she looks better now than she ever has. Britney Spears could take some pointers from her (she was a wild star child as well). Look how lovely she has turned out.

kaye on

I love her stylist! Way to go Drew!!!

lindaa on

Megan on

Ashley on

It’s about friggin’ time Drew gets the “cover girl” status that she deserves. She is one of the most beautiful people in the world!!

k on

i love drew…but honestly when i saw this i was surprised…she doesnt seem like the cover girl type…the cover girl is usually more glamorous then girl-next-door…but good for drew! shes a beautiful person!

georgie on

wow! i didn’t recognise her at all! that’s a really great photo and she looks unusually pretty on it.

Amy on

I always felt Drew looked a little unkept and rough around the edges but she looks fabulous here. Her hair looks terrific. I can’t believe how great she looks.

AnnieM on

Love it!

yonne franceschi on

Good for Drew, she is the all american beauty girl for the new face of Covergirl. I guess it’s time for these Co to
select down to earth people. I loved Drew in E.T. and she
has blossom into this young lady with class and she looks
radiant and so happy. Yvonne

Drew Barrymore is BEAUTIFUL! She’s a talented actress, beautiful, smart and seems so humble. Cover Girl chose the right lady as their spokesperson. Isn’t this what we need on TV? Sure she’s an actress, and she has an extensive movie career that we can only dream of having, and money too, but she just looks like an average looking girl. Not afraid of going out looking normal and not glamorous, but she can still glam it up on the red carpet, but still look simple, but amazing. She’s so low key, and that’s what I love about her. She’s over come things in her life, that some can recognize with, and I’m happy for all that she’s accomplished so far.

KT from Cda on

truly they made the right choice. She has turned into a beautiful woman.

Toya B. on

Drew has like this nautral beauty and I think that is exactly what a CoverGirl should have. She looks so pretty and I love her hair.

She looks GREAT in yellow.

Theresa on

I think Drew is an awesome choice as well, She’s pretty has a girl next door look about her.

If anyone wants a chance to get covergirl’s lip gloss for free. Seventeen Magazine and Covergirl are giving away 10,000 samples.

I want to 2nd the comment from “me.” I’m equally grossly disappointed, if not disgusted, that Drew has taken the route of promoting a company that continues to torture (or finance that of) nonhumans in laboratories, despite whatever public relations propaganda Cover Girl cosmetics company chooses to publicize. I’ve also recently learned that she allegedly returned to eating the Standard American Diet of murdered animals, dairy & eggs. This is a total 360 from her prior advocacy for nonhumans in general and I wish she’d break out of whatever brainwashing abyss into which she’s recently fallen. We have too many brainless cyborgs among the celebrity class already. We don’t need another formerly respectable and brilliant recovering drug addict (which I thoroughly appreciate) to go down the same route, akin to Katie Holmes falling for Scientology. What a filthy shame!

Rachel on

I love her makup. It looks so flirty and cute. It’s perfect for a date.

hannah on

if drew barrymore has her own website on loving animals, than why did she become the spokesmodel of covergirl, a company that tests their products on animals?

Kristen Bezek on

I just wanted to say I love the commercials with Drew Barrymore and I believe she was the best choice Covergirl has made for spokesmodel and she really is sweet and has loads of personality. I look forward to seeing what new things you guys come up with her. She is the best!!!
