Leighton Meester's Korean Makeup Ad

by Annie Tomlin 3

"What makeup means to me is sparkling makeover," Leighton Meester says in this Q&A for Korean cosmetics brand eSpoir. The brand cites her as its muse, which is a polite way of saying "brand ambassador," which is another way of saying "spokesperson." While this unedited footage of Leighton talking about the products is slightly awkward, the finished promotional video pulls it all together.

Leighton, who's the face (hair?) of Herbal Essences in the United States, isn't the only star to go to Asia for ad campaigns. See Angelina, Brad, Natalie, and more celebrities in Japanese commercials. Your thoughts?
