Honorary Latina Lupita Nyong'o is hands down one of the most naturally beautiful celebs right now. Most stars need a ton of makeup and hair extensions to look this great, but Lupita looks stunning no matter what. It's no wonder Lancôme decided to make her their latest beauty ambassador. Seriously, look at that face!

"I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman's freedom to be herself," Lupita said in a statement released by Lancôme.
Aside from Lupita's gorgeous looks, I'm sure her inspiring speeches at this year's Oscars and at the Essence magazine's Black Women Hollywood event made an impression on the brand too. "For me, beauty is a compassion for yourself and those around you," she told WWD. "The idea that Lancôme now has a few actor ambassadors is significant because actors are not just faces, they are spirits that people enjoy and relate to more than in an aesthetic way. We have the privilege of standing for something other than just looks."
Lancôme definitely made a good call here. Lupita is beautiful both inside and out! And Lancôme is not the only brand recognizing our beautiful celebs. Check out 10 other Latina celebs who have landed gigs as beauty ambassadors:

Zoe Saldana
I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that Zoe Saldana is officially the new face of L'Oréal Paris! Yay! The Dominican and Puerto Rican actress will be joining celebs Blake Lively and Lea Michelle as a brand ambassador and I honestly couldn't think of a better star to represent for us Latinas. Zoe isn't just gorgeous, she's elegant and, most importantly, incredibly confident!
Sofia Vergara
The Modern Family star is currently the face of CoverGirl. I’d say her gorgeous looks and colorful personality makes her a perfect match. "I want to show all women that they can look and feel beautiful with the right, affordable makeup," the Colombian actress said in her CoverGirl statement.
Eva Mendes
Eva worked as Pantene’s celebrity ambassador and it made perfect sense. "I grew up on Pantene! My sisters, my mom, and I have always loved it. It was the brand we splurged on at the drugstore. It was a luxury that was still attainable," she told Latina.com. "Plus, Pantene is so honest. When I met with them they touched my hair to check the texture and to make sure I didn’t have hair extensions. There were no tricks on the photo shoot–no false advertising here! That was important to me."
Eva Longoria
The former Desperate Housewives star has worked with L'Oréal Paris for a while now. "'Because I’m worth it' has empowered me in a way I never knew it would in my life and I am sure it empowers other women all over the world," she said in her ambassador statement.
Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo was part of L'Oréal Paris True Match Natural Looking Make Up campaign and also showed off her shiny, long locks for their EverSleek line commercial. "I’m excited to work with a brand that consistently offers a wide range of superior products that are attainable for women everywhere," she wrote in a statement.
Jessica Alba
No one knows how to rock a bright, bold lip quite like Jessica Alba. So it's no wonder Revlon had her work as one of their brand ambassadors. Smart choice!
Penélope Cruz
Penélope has worked as a brand ambassador for Lancôme in the past, but was made recently the face of their latest fragrance, Trésor Lumineuse. Did I mention it smells amazing?
Gisele Bündchen
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen probably has the best head of hair on the planet so of course she’s the latest face for Pantene.
Kate del Castillo
Kate de Castillo signed as a spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris in 2009. “I’m truly honored to join the confident and inspirational group of women who represent the L'Oréal Paris brand,” she said in her statement. “It is very exciting for me to say the iconic phrase, ‘Porque Tú Lo Vales’ to my fellow Latinas and to women all across the country."
Ximena Navarrete
The former Miss Universe 2010 and Mexican telenovela actress was also signed on as a beauty ambassador for L'Oréal Paris.
