     Christy first exploded onto the scene in the early 1990's as an
 internationally recognized model gracing the covers of top magazines and
 runways around the world and as the face for Maybelline. In the years that
 followed, Christy kept busy working as a smoking-prevention activist,
 entrepreneur, author, mother of two, and now again, a spokesperson for
 Maybelline New York.
     "Christy is a perfect match for Maybelline New York -- she is a natural
 beauty and exudes confidence," says Cheryl Vitali, Senior Vice President,
 Marketing, Maybelline New York - Garnier. "We are thrilled to have Christy
 rejoin the Maybelline New York family. She is a true representation of
 beauty at every stage in one's life. Christy was the lead spokesperson that
 helped the brand launch its 'Maybe She's Born With It, Maybe It's
 Maybelline' tagline in the early '90's and she will again be an important
 spokesperson for the brand today."
     Christy added, "Maybelline is and always has been a brand that cares
 about the needs of women. I am thrilled to be a part of their campaign once
 again and honored to return as Maybelline New York's spokeswoman. It is
 definitely exciting to return with a whole new variety of life experiences
 that I can share with a new audience of women."
     ABOUT CHRISTY TURLINGTON
     Born and raised in Northern California, Christy Turlington has
 successfully created a diverse and multi-talented career as an
 entrepreneur, role model and spokesperson in the cosmetic, fashion,
