Keri Hilson wants women to feel comfortable in their own skin.
The singer has recently been announced as the latest face of Avon and is keen to use her new role by helping fellow females become more confident.
She said: ‘I love to teach women that they should feel confident and feel good about themselves for themselves.’
Keri is replacing Jennifer Hudson as the cosmetic firm’s newest spokesperson and says it’s a dream come true.
She said: ‘I love fragrance. I love beauty.’
Avon is also pleased at the new partnership and think she is the perfect person to represent the brand.
Lily DeStefano, executive director of Avon North America Beauty, told WWD: ‘We had a great partnership with Jennifer Hudson, and we found that so powerful that, in the same spirit, we wanted to take it a step further. Keri just brings a youth and vitality to our brand. I think that she’s just the perfect transition.’
Keri, 27, will now join Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana and Fergie as Avon faces.

Jennifer Hudson loves her new slimmer look.
The Oscar-winning actress has managed to shed 60lbs following the birth of her son David Otunga Jr. last August and her Los Angeles-based trainer Harley Pasternak admits they had an unusual goal for her to aim for.
He said: ‘Our goal was to bounce quarters off her butt. I think she looks fantastic. She loves the way she looks but she feels really great.’
Harley also claims Jennifer – who was recently announced as the face of Weight Watchers – is so motivated she will often exercise without him asking.
He told People magazine: ‘Unprompted, she’ll start running when I’ve just asked her to walk!’
Recently the ‘Sex and the City‘ actress admitted she loved joining Weight Watchers and felt like it changed her life for the better.
She said: ‘I decided to do Weight Watchers. I feel like I’ve conquered the world. It’s a lifestyle change, not a diet. I don’t really diet as such. I actually get up and work hard every day.
‘I make sure I eat right and just make sure I stay focused. It is about being consistent and sticking with it.’
