    The Harry Potter beauty is the new A-list ambassador for the beauty brand

    Is there no end to the talents of the lovely Emma Watson? She's conquered the film industry, is a fashion pack darling, a successful student at US university Brown, and now she's set to dabble in the world of beauty, as the new ambassador for Lancôme.

    The Harry Potter leading lady adds the high profile campaign to her already impressive modelling portfolio – remember those Burberry and People Tree ads? - and has reportedly received a six figure sum for her new gig.

    Taking to Twitter to officially announce her new role, Em left a trail of clues for fans, before finally revealing the exciting beauty news.

    'It starts with an L and ends with an E. I'm sure you have guessed the new face of Lancôme is me!' she wrote.
