" Excuse us while we go have a mini excitement meltdown under our desks! Beauty brand Lanc\u00F4me just announced their new brand ambassador: the completely gorgeous/amazing/inspiring/all-around perfect Lupita Nyong&amp;#039;o. If she looks familiar, it&amp;#039;s probably because you&amp;#039;ve seen her rocking fantastic bright dresses and cool hair accessories while she accepted basically every award for her role in 12 Years A Slave this awards season. Lupita is Kenyan, but was born in Mexico, and has pretty much the most perfect glowing skin on the face of the planet. Aside from being drop-dead gorg, Lupita&amp;#039;s been using her new-found fame to spread some pretty important, positive messages about the unfortunate racial biases still lingering in the beauty world. At the Essence 7th Annual Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon in February, Lupita gave a tear-jerking, girl-power speech about feeling un-beautiful growing up because she&amp;#039;s black and hoping that her new role as a beauty icon will inspire young women everywhere to realize that being pretty doesn&amp;#039;t just mean one thing. Um, love her! Are you so, so excited to see Lupita as the new face of Lanc\u00F4me? Do you think we need more diverse beauty icons? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
