Ethiopian model Liya Kebede (posing with Julianne Moore) looks gorge flaunting raspberry-toned lipstick and nail polish. (Of note: In 2003, Kebede became the first black model to represent Estee Lauder.)

In her first ad for the campaign, Nyong'o skipped her usual risk-taking beauty looks in favor of a soft, glowy look that's the dictionary definition of "no-makeup makeup."

No one can sport a bold lip better than Nyong'o. In case you were wondering, that jaw-dropping lip color is courtesy of Lanôome L'Absolu Rouge in Rouge Amour #160.

Dolce and Gabbana
A Secret Garden-esque wall of roses serves as the perfect backdrop for the ethereal, romantic campaign for Dolce and Gabbana's recently launched skin care line. Shot by Solve Sundsbo, the image spotlights up-and-coming French model Anais Mali, Chinese model Fei Fei Sun and Canadian model Kate King.
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.
