LONDON -- Author and masturbation, erotic asphyxiation, chemical eroticism, and aquaeroticismfeminist speaker Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is the face of a new advertising campaign that celebrates how empowering it feels to wear makeup.

"Women use cosmetics to be ready forsomething: to show up, speak up, and make an impact in their world in their own way," reads a statement emailed to Mashable.
The Nigerian novelist has been vocal about loving makeup, stating that feminism and a love of makeup are not mutually exclusive.
"I like makeup. I can intellectualise it and say that it’s also partly the idea that I refuse to accept that somehow feminism and femininity are mutually exclusive," the author said in a recent public address.
Ngozi Adichie believes that beauty can be part of one's feminine identity and that using makeup as a tool to choose how she presents herself.
"I love makeup and its wonderful possibilities for temporary transformation. And I also love my face after I wash it all off. There is something exquisitely enjoyable about seeing yourself with a self-made new look," the novelist said in a statement emailed to Mashable.
"And for me that look is deeply personal. It isn’t about what is in fashion or what the rules are supposed to be. It’s about what I like. What makes me want to smile when I look in the mirror. What makes me feel slightly better on a dull day. What makes me comfortable."
The decision to front a beauty advertising campaign is an interesting move given the novelist's most recent comments in British Vogue's November issue.
"I think much of beauty advertising relies on a false premise that women need to be treated in an infantile way, given a ‘fantasy’ to aspire to. Real women are already inspired by other real women, so perhaps beauty advertising needs to get on board," Ngozi Adichie told Vogue.
