Afia’s appointment is tied to the brand’s So Lashy! mascara campaign and comes right after fellow beauty blogger James Charles was appointed as the first male face of CoverGirl.

CoverGirl has never shied away from diversity in its choice of ambassadors, which currently include Sugar Symphony YouTubers Chloe + Halle, actress Sofía Vergara, DJ and actress Amy Pham, and singer Katy Perry.

💜#LashEquality = bold, sexy lashes for ALL.💜 At COVERGIRL, we’ve always stood for inclusive beauty that supports any and all types — from skin types to lash types. We know that whether you have short, straight, light or long lashes, you all crave the same bold end look, so we listened and created #SoLashy mascara: the first mascara designed for any and all lash types. Representing all types of beauty, our #SoLashy fam (and their lashes) have come together to stand for #LashEquality. Bold, sexy lashes for all: are you on board? #Repost, comment, 💜 to be a part, and stay tuned for more!

Afia kicked off her ambassadorship Tuesday at a CoverGirl event in New York City’s Times Square, where she took photos with fans and had her money-maker emblazoned on a billboard.

CoverGirl’s campaigns are absolutely wrecking the competition by showing faces that represent more than just one cookie-cutter ideal. Beauty is not exclusive and shouldn’t ever be treated as such.

Congrats, Nura!!
