Christy first exploded onto the scene in the early 1990's as an internationally recognized model gracing the covers of top magazines and runways around the world and as the face for Maybelline.

In the years that followed, Christy kept busy working as a smoking-prevention activist, entrepreneur, author, mother of two, and now again, a spokesperson for Maybelline New York.

"Christy is a perfect match for Maybelline New York - she is a natural beauty and exudes confidence," says Cheryl Vitali, senior vice president, marketing, Maybelline New York - Garnier. "We are thrilled to have Christy rejoin the Maybelline New York family. She is a true representation of beauty at every stage in one's life. Christy was the lead spokesperson that helped the brand launch its 'Maybe She's Born With It, Maybe It's Maybelline' tagline in the early '90's and she will again be an important spokesperson for the brand today."

Christy added, "Maybelline is and always has been a brand that cares about the needs of women. I am thrilled to be a part of their campaign once again and honored to return as Maybelline New York's spokeswoman. It is definitely exciting to return with a whole new variety of life experiences that I can share with a new audience of women."
