It’s a holiday miracle! The incomparable Tilda Swinton has been named the new face of NARS Cosmetics.

The actress has four ads in the works with the beauty line. The first will appear in January and was shot by the company founder, François Nars. Each ad will feature different products from different collections. Items from the “Eye Opening Act” collection will be in the January ad.

This news is surprising yet absolutely wonderful all at the same time. Surprising because Swinton is known for her barely-there beauty looks on the red carpet. The first preview has her in natural makeup with a slight smoke of the liner. Hopefully her trend of pale and pretty continues.

Absolutely wonderful because Swinton, who’s 53 beautiful years old, has joined the new trend of older women doing high profile jobs. She joins “American Horror Story” favorite Jessica Lange, 64, who was the recent face of Marc Jacob’s beauty line and English actress Charlotte Rampling, 68, who was the previous face of NARS.

In total, this news makes me want to go out and buy as many products from NARS as possible. I anxiously look forward to the other three ads.
