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.

I have followed Sofia’s career since she began as a model and was a reporter/host of the show Fuera de Seria. Even then she lit up the tv screen with her humor, wit and comedic timing. I knew she was destined for greater things and even though I am not Columbian I am still very proud of her. It’s nice to finally see someone who resembles me on tv and not have to play a hooker, drug dealer or Italian. I hope some day soon the Emmy academy will reward her for her acting chops on Modern Family. That show is fantastic and FUNNY, but it’s just a bit more funnier with her in it. Felicidades Sofia en tu carrera, que sigues adelante en Hollywood!
