Congratulations to 18 year old Alexis Harris on being selected as the new face of Cover Girl cosmetics.
In case you didn't know Ellen Degeneres launched a weeks' long nationwide search for the next CoverGirl  on her show, and Alexis Harris , a junior co-ed attending the University of Texas at San Antonio. Alexis had no idea she won the contest, beat out more than 20,000 applicants to become the new face.

Chron.com reports:
Degeneres helped the cosmetics ' giant search for the next "easy, brezzy" face through her popular talk show asking candidates to submit a letter explaining why they'd be the perfect for the job.

Harris was in the audience when the announcement was made with several of the students family members sitting on the Ellen set in preparation for a make-believe press conference -Ellen Style- that came soon after.

Harris, who is from killeen, received a $20,000 check and will appear in an ad in People magazine. Degeneres told Harris that next month they would shoot a Cover Girl ad together.
