Carrie Underwood is Almay's New Global Ambassador, Plus 7 of Our Favorite Beauty Looks from the Country Superstar

If you haven't already noticed, Carrie Underwood is an American sweetheart. She can do no wrong (even if it means ruining The Sound of Music for many of us). It's partially because she's talented and sweet, but it's also because she's so gosh darn beautiful. Everywhere she goes, she glitters. The Carrie fever is spreading: Almay just declared Underwood their new global brand ambassador, joining fellow beautiful blond Kate Hudson in the company's campaign. This isn't Underwood's first time lending her good genes — in 2010, she was Olay's first celebrity brand ambassador and last week, teamed up with Nicole by OPI for her own collection of nail polishes.

Underwood reacted to the big news saying, “Honestly, I could never be associated with a company I didn’t believe in. I love Almay’s positive approach to beauty because it’s so important to celebrate our natural beauty and enhance what makes us unique.”

Here are 7 beautiful reasons why this country superstar deserves to be the new face of Almay.

HOLY SMOKES

Underwood doesn’t usually reach for darker eyeshadows, but isn’t afraid to mix it up every once in awhile. Here, she demonstrates that balance is always key: if you’re going glam in the eyes, keep things simple everywhere else. We also love that she matches her eyes with her ring finger’s nail polish. All the better to highlight her massive rock.
