Camila Cabello’s Beauty Evolution: From X Factor Darling to L’Oréalista
by Madelyn ChungIt’s safe to say 2017 is Camila Cabello’s year. Following her (not-so-)shocking departure from Fifth Harmony, the 20-year-old Cuban-American songstress has truly come into her own, releasing her first solo single, performing at several award shows and landing a gig as the face of Guess Jeans. But it looks like Camila’s path to success is just getting started, with the “Crying in the Club” songstress being named Global Ambassador of L’Oréal Paris.

Camila becoming the face of an international beauty brand isn’t entirely surprising, however. Though she has gone through quite the beauty evolution since her X Factor days (remember those hair bows?), Cabello always manages to look stunning on the red carpet, whether it’s with her signature look: loose, wavy strands and eyeliner, or something more daring, like her wispy bangs and bronzed makeup at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.
