Reese Witherspoon, who is rumored to be dating Jake Gyllenhaal, is the new Global Ambassador for Avon. Nice! It’s fitting for Reese. Not saying she’s cheap or crummy, like Avon mostly is, but she seems like someone who would wear a lot of simplistic make-up, trying to keep natural. She also seems like someone who saves money by buying a couple of smart products, not loading up on tons of expensive Dior which she’d never wear. I think they chose a good person. I love Reese, though, no matter what. Here’s what Avon had to say about Reese as their new Global Ambassador:

“Our partnership with Reese represents a breakthrough moment for our company — and comes just months after the launch of our successful Hello Tomorrow campaign, which signaled a true evolution for the Avon brand,” said Geralyn Breig, Senior Vice President and Global Brand resident, Avon Products, Inc. “This is the first time we have had celebrity representation on all three dimensions of our business — our philanthropic initiatives, our brand, and the Avon Representative — and we are incredibly excited to have someone of Reese’s talent and stature add her voice to Avon’s message to help bring it to the world.”

The Avon Foundation and Ms. Witherspoon will partner in raising awareness for the Foundation’s programs in the areas of breast cancer, domestic violence and emergency relief. The Avon Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 1955 with the mission of championing the health and well being of women globally through its philanthropic efforts.

“I am very excited to be partnering with Avon. Avon is more than an iconic world class beauty leader — it is a company that is known the world over as a crusader for women’s causes,” said Ms. Witherspoon. “I am truly impressed by how Avon has been able to effect real change in the
communities in which it does business, and by how committed the company is to providing economic and personal fulfillment to women all over the world. I feel a great responsibility in my own life to give back to society. Now, as the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, I am proud to be joining in the great philanthropic work that is already underway.”

You know we’re going to be seeing her in make-ups, too! Maybe she’ll do a cover with Lauren Conrad! She’s a Mark spokesperson. That would be fun. I like that Avon is only asking classy people to work for them. Think if Britney Spears was on the cover? Sickening. Good for Reese, congrats to her.
