Maybelline announces two new brand ambassadors

Maybelline is shaking things up with two new brand ambassadors.

The cosmetics giant has announced that it has recruited makeup artists Jenna Kristina and Vincent Oquendo to its ambassador family, Allure reports.

In a statement shared with the publication, Oquendo -- who is known for his work with fashion icons such as Gigi and Bella Hadid and Cara Delevingne -- said: "Growing up, I only dreamed of being able to work with an iconic brand like Maybelline in this capacity."

Beauty brands are increasingly aligning themselves with makeup professionals: earlier this month the prestige brand Christian Louboutin Beauty appointed the makeup pro Isamaya Ffrench -- a favorite with the fashion crowd -- as its new global makeup artist, while internationally renowned makeup artist Wendy Rowe was unveiled as the new global makeup artist and creative director for Max Factor last summer.
