Australian actor Aisha Dee has been announced as the first Australia and New Zealand brand ambassador for luxury French beauty house, Lancôme.
For Dee, who has carved out a name for herself both locally and internationally with roles in shows such as The Bold Type and Safe Home, joining a brand that aligns with her own values around beauty, empowerment and positivity is an honour.
Lancôme Brand Director, Louise Voyage says the partnership represents an evolution for Lancôme.
“Aisha represents the epitome of modern beauty—confident, independent, and unapologetically herself. With her strong voice and immense influence, Aisha embodies the essence of a young and progressive audience,” she says.
“This collaboration with Aisha marks an exciting turning point for Lancôme as we evolve to embrace the changing dynamics of beauty, redefine our narratives, and empower individuals to embrace their unique beauty.”
Dee’s first project in the partnership is for the newly launched reformulation of Lancôme’s Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation. First launched in 1997, the product is renowned for its fusion of makeup and skincare. The new formulation will represent the next stage in breathability, longevity and skinclusivity.
Ahead of the launch Vogue Australia caught up with Dee to talk ambitions, diversity and what she hopes to do next.
Vogue Australia: You’ve just come off the back of Safe Home, tell us a bit about what you are working on for the rest of the year?
Aisha Dee: Working on Safe Home was such a beautiful and transformative experience, it really challenged me to look more closely at my priorities and how I move through the world. Lately I’ve been spending more time with my family and friends, going to therapy, working on music, just working on being more present. There are a couple really exciting projects in the works but I can’t talk about them just yet, soon!
VA: In a lot of your interviews you talk about the differences between working in the US and here in Australia from a diversity lens. Can you speak to how you’ve seen this shift in the time you’ve been back home?
AD: It’s been beautiful to witness the change happening both at home and in the US. I think what’s so exciting about Australia is that we are such a young nation, it almost feels like Australia is this teenager who is finding herself and her identity for the first time. I feel really honoured to be a part of that change and want to do everything I can to continue pushing boundaries and pulling up more seats to the table.
