and Oluchi Are The New Faces for Lancome Actress Mena Suvari, along with models Elizabeth Jagger, Devon Aoki and Oluchi will be joining Uma Thurman, Ines Sastre and Mari Gillian as Lancome's ambassadors of beauty. "Lancome is about providing women around the world with unique breakthrough product solutions to fulfill their individual needs," stated Marc Dubrule, General Manager of Lancome International on the announcement. "We want the women who represent our brand to speak to that individuality. All these women have a certain distinctiveness; they are diverse in age, life experience, culture and background making them ideal ambassadors for Lancome." The four new faces are part of the new history of Lancome. They embody an exciting, dazzling, passionate and youthful generation -- a generation that is looking for products with equal parts modernity, creativity and expertise. At 23, Mena Suvari is the second American to be signed by Lancome.
