Amena Khan is the New Face of L'Oréal Paris UK — Here’s Why This News is SO Important

As we progress forward in the beautyverse, it’s imperative that we stay socially aware, even if our own contributions are as small as making mindful decisions about the makeup products we choose to buy. Thankfully, there are forward-thinking higher-ups at some of our favorite beauty companies who get to make the decisions that consequently have a big impact.

Today, we’re happy to report that one of those impactful decisions just came to fruition at L’Oréal Paris UK — as the hair brand named British beauty blogger Amena Khan one of the new ambassadors of the Elvive World of Care Campaign. The line caters to a wide range of hair types, and there’s no doubt L’Oréal chose the right gal to represent.

With 571k followers on Instagram and as a co-founder of Ardere Cosmetics, the beauty influencer is a force to be reckoned with.

We’re ready to see more inclusive beauty campaigns and see this as a major win.
