It’s no secret: we’ve been dying to find out how Kerry Washington achieves her glowing, smooth complexion for years. Luckily for us, the actress’ new gig as celebrity brand ambassador for Neutrogena means that we’re that much closer to replicating her perfect canvas at home.  
In addition to appearing in ads for the company’s Visibly Even BB cream and Makeup Remover Wipes next year, Kerry will take a hands-on approach to her new role by serving as creative consultant for the beauty brand, helping to guide its marketing initiatives and providing product feedback.
“I never wanted to partner with a company where I felt like I was losing myself and my sense of authenticity,” she tells People. “This is really about working with a company I respect and admire.”
The Bronx-born beauty is already a fan of talking skincare with her followers on Twitter and says she looks forward to sharing her expertise with her fans on a greater level.

“Now I can be on an adventure with my fans where I’ll be able to hear feedback on the products,” she says. “I live and work in makeup so I have a perspective on how a lip color works after eight hours on the set or an hour on the red carpet.”

Between her multiple best-dressed nods and the huge success of Scandal’s current season, it has been a whirlwind year for Kerry. We can’t wait to see even more of her in the months to come.
