Michelle Monaghan is making her mark in the beauty world.
The “White Lotus” actress, 48, was just announced as the first-ever brand ambassador for U Beauty, a company Monaghan has been loyal to over the years.
Though many partnership opportunities have come her way, the “Made of Honor” alum turned them down, making this her inaugural beauty campaign, she told People.
A fan of the Resurfacing Compound ($228) and The Return Eye Concentrate ($148), Monaghan, who was diagnosed with melanoma a decade ago, discussed the partnership.
“It just felt so the right time, the right place, the right people,” Monaghan said. “Just such a wonderful team. We all kind of share the same values around skin health.”
As a result of not wearing sunscreen in her 20s and 30s, Monaghan is “constantly dealing with past issues.” The actress added, “I feel like the Resurfacing Compound tackles all of those sorts of problem spots and problem areas as well as the hormonal acne that I get.”
This partnership follows Monaghan’s buzzed-about portrayal of famous television actress Jaclyn Lemon in “White Lotus” Season 3, which premiered on February 16.
“I’m so fortunate and I know that there is an ebb and a flow in any career, specifically in Hollywood,” she told the outlet about her latest project.
Monaghan also revealed her thoughts on dyeing her hair for her character in the hit HBO series.
“I loved being blond so much and I was nervous because I am a brunette,” the actress spilled about the beauty transformation, which came courtesy of celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham.
“I knew that [show creator] Mike [White] really wanted me to be blond. And I was like, ‘Of course I’ll do whatever you want.’ But I was worried because I knew that I was going to have to go back to being brunette for a film afterwards.”
The Season 3 cast has been on fire in the fashion department, with Parker Posey posing for Gap, Jason Isaacs strutting his stuff on the Burberry runway and Patrick Schwarzenegger stripping down to his underwear for a wedding-themed Skims ad with fiancée Abby Champion.
