Priyanka Chopra named global ambassador for Max Factor

Max Factor has named popular actress Priyanka Chopra as its new global ambassador and creative collaborator.

The Bajirao Mastani (2015) star joins Max Factor as the face of its major beauty campaigns and product launches, beginning with a promotional push for the Facefinity All Day Flawless Airbrush Finish 3in1 Foundation.


Chopra said that she was proud to be associated with the cosmetics house. “A brand with a rich heritage that spans more than 100 years, Max Factor is behind the most iconic and effortless beauty transformations in pop culture, and I am honoured to be collaborating as their new global ambassador.

“Confidence can be someone’s most powerful asset, and it is important to trust that your beauty products will deliver. From make-up artists to people all over the globe, I know I am in good company in sharing my excitement for Max Factor’s new product launches and I am proud to be part of the brand’s next chapter.”

The cosmetics firm see Chopra as the ideal face for their journey of transformation. Stefano Curti, Chief Brands Officer at COTY, said: “Priyanka is the modern embodiment of our diverse Max Factor audience, and a champion of the empowerment that comes with transformation. We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with her and know we will be able to achieve so many extraordinary things together.”

Max Factor stated that the actress was very involved with the first campaign as she was keen to ensure that the language used in the advert was authentic to her voice and her personal experience with the brand and the product.

The actress will be joined by a network of make-up artists around the world, who will continue to provide an expert professional view of how to use Max Factor products to deliver effortless transformation.

Max Factor was founded at the beginning of the 20th century by the eponymous Polish-born make-up artist, wig maker and inventor, who is also credited for coining the term, ‘make-up’.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
