Scoring a spot as the face of a beauty brand's ad campaign is a major coup, whether you're an up-and-comer or a bona fide superstar. But beauty doesn't come in only one shade -- and these ads from big-time brands like Estée Lauder and Lancôme prove it by featuring models and actresses of all different skin hues. From Dolce and Gabbana's romantic skin care ad to Lancôme's striking series with Lupita Nyong'o, these are the gorgeous beauty ads you need to see now.
