Maybelline New York today announced that London-bred beauty – Jourdan Dunn is their newest spokesmodel. Jourdan will be joining an elite group of Maybelline models such as Christie Turlington, Emily Didanato and a host of others. 
‘Jourdans look, style and and positive energy are perfect for the Maybelline New York brand’ said Jerome Bruhat, Global Brand President of Maybelline NY. ‘She truly reflects Maybellines vision of global beauty’
Jourdan was first discovered by a model scout while out with friends. She was signed soon after and made her runway debut during 2007 Fall NY Fashion Week. As a featured model in British Vogue, labeled as a ‘new star’ and named ‘Top 10 newcomer’ by style.com later that year, Jourdan was on the road to success early in her career. 
‘It is an honor to be a spokesperson for such an iconic brand’ said Jourdan ‘I am proud to say that i am a Maybelline girl and hopefully i can make people feel the same way i did when i saw the advertisements growing up. The brand imagery is always beautiful and positive. To now be a part of that is a dream come true’
Jourdan has since lit up runways for Prada, Christian Dior, Chanel, Alexander McQuenn and many many more. She has appeared in the American, British, Paris, Italian, Japanese and Russian editions of Vogue. She has graced the pages of notable fashion magazines such as W, Allure and Dazed & Confused as well as being part of various campaigns for Calvin Klein, YSL, Burberry, H & M and Topshop … among others.
When she is not modelling, Jourdan is a proud Mum to her son Riley who was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. This has led to Jourdan’s active involvement as the Parent Ambassador for The Sickle Cell Disease association of America. In addition to being a mother and a philanthropist, Jourdan is a self-taught cook. She hosts a lifestyle and cooking program titled ‘Well Dunn with Jourdan Dunn’. The show is available through Jay Z’s Youtube channel Life+Times and features a different celebrity guest each episode.
Jourdan will make her Maybelline NY debut in print and television campaigns from April 2014.
