In the early 2020s, ’90s fashion trends certainly came back into style. And, as it turns out, so did ’90s fashion models. CoverGirl’s Simply Ageless collection is made up of makeup that aims to nurture skin and help with the look of aging. So, who better to represent it than someone who has aged as gracefully as Niki Taylor? Surely, this is what the minds behind CoverGirl were considering when they called Taylor back to reprise her role as the face of the brand after a decades-long hiatus. And, since she was an old pro, they let her run the photoshoot herself. She took the photos herself at home on her iPhone. “I even did my own makeup, so the whole experience has been very easy, breezy!” Taylor said (per Parade).
It seems that having Taylor return to CoverGirl wasn’t just a win for the brand; it felt right for her, too, as she has fond memories involving the brand’s products. “I remember watching my mother apply her CoverGirl makeup, and she used to put just a little blush on me before we went to the bus stop — it was in elementary school,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. It seems that Taylor’s life was leading up to this CoverGirl reunion.
