Ellen DeGeneres is loving her new gig as the face of CoverGirl – check out this behind-the-scenes picture, where Ellen explains on her show today:

“They’re putting some lip liner on me … Man, they love lip liner. I got hours and hours … she was just there for lip liner. I am very, very excited about it. It’s a very cool thing I’m honored and the photo shoot was “easy, breezy, beautiful … CoverGirl.”
