To be named a COVERGIRL is something I never expected, but I’m thrilled to be able to represent my community and show that you can be an actor, a director, a businesswoman, a mom, a Latina, a first-generation American, and be a COVERGIRL,” shared America. “The Clean Fresh Skincare collection embodies some of my favorite elements of my beauty routine, including clean ingredients, easy-to-use products, and a collection that can be found at an affordable price.”

It was an unforgettable experience. Both America and I truly believe in bringing more LatinX voices to the forefront of the beauty industry. We’re excited to share this campaign with the world and for our community to see themselves represented in the media, and hopefully get inspired to follow their dreams and to feel proud in their own skin,” said Kudacki.
