Texas-based model Amy Deanna, stars in CoverGirl’s newest ad spot securing a first for the beauty giant. Deanna is the first woman with Vitiligo to feature in an ad for CoverGirl.

The 15-second ad features Deanna stating “Why try to blend in when you can choose how to stand out?”

“Vitiligo awareness is something that is very important to me,” she said when speaking about her new CoverGirl campaign. “Being given a platform to do so means so much.”

“At the end of the day I am just like everyone else, I just happen to have spots,” Deanna adds. “It’s a part of my identity, but it doesn’t define who I am.”
