The first male representative has been named for makeup brand Maybelline – the talented Manny Gutierrez (Manny MUA).
He starred in their new advertisement for their Big Shot by Colossal mascara along with Makeup Shayla.
Manny expressed his excitement on Twitter, saying that his dreams are coming true:
Still can't believe im part of @Maybelline lash campaign… honestly it's such an honor. Thank you for making my dreams come true ???

This is an important step as more and more makeup companies are bringing diversity to their campaigns, recognizing that it’s not just light-skinned women who can wear makeup. Last year, CoverGirl announced that James Charles would be their first ever Coverboy.
We’re so happy for you Manny!
Maybe HE'S born with it ?
