Sofia Vergara looks gorgeous no matter where she is: on the red carpet, on Modern Family, on the streets. So it’s only natural that today, she was announced as the newest face of CoverGirl. “It feels amazing,” she tells PEOPLE of the big news. “I’ve always wanted to be a CoverGirl. I always loved seeing the pictures of the campaigns in magazines.” Vergara, who’s addicted to the brand’s LashBlast Volume mascara and Lip Perfection lipstick, says she grew up around cosmetics. “My mother used to do her makeup everyday, and I used to watch her, just fascinated,” she shares. “I’ve always had a very good relationship with makeup; it’s one of my favorite things.” Vergara, who made PEOPLE’s “Most Beautiful” list this year, is also proud to represent Latin women in her new role. “When you grow up, you look up to girls in the magazines, and you never think you’re going to be that pretty, or that well made-up, or that glamorous,” she says. “I love that I have the Latin flavor; Latin girls can relate to me, see what I’m wearing, see my makeup, my hairstyle.” Vergara’s ads will debut in January of 2012; she’ll be representing some new additions to the CoverGirl line. The Modern Family star joins an esteemed roster of current brand spokesmodels, including Queen Latifah, Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres, Dania Ramirez and Taylor Swift.

At v70w… Do you speak a second language? Because if you do then I am sure you have an acent when you are speaking even if you think you don’t. And if you don’t speak a second language then why be so negative towards someone that does?

-CP ?????? a woman of color? why do some people in the US insist in segmenting people by color? Ms. Vergara is Hispanic, her heritage is Hispanic. US Hispanics encompass all races: whites, blacks, even members of the “yellow” race and the “red” race. Being Hispanic is not a race, is a heritage. Geez!

It’s awesome that she can be a cover girl. She is a stunning beauty . Her accent is funny, not atrocious. I love it!! I’ve seen her in interviews and she is witty and smart which is more important than her accent.
