CoverGirl is a budget makeup brand from the United States, founded in 1961 by Noxzema Chemical Company. It's best known for its Lash Blast Mascara, Outlast All-Day Lipcolor and Clean Fresh Skincare Foundation.

CoverGirl launched in 1961 as Noxzema's makeup brand, built around the radical premise of putting actresses and models on the cover of beauty advertising — an industry first that gave the line its name. The brand cycled through several owners (Procter & Gamble for decades, then Coty since 2016) and helped define American mainstream drugstore makeup through ad campaigns starring Cybill Shepherd, Tyra Banks, Queen Latifah, Drew Barrymore, and Ellen DeGeneres.

The Lash Blast mascaras and Outlast lipstick line are the franchise heroes, alongside the Clean Fresh range and the more recent TruBlend complexion line. CoverGirl was the first major US drugstore brand to feature a CoverBoy (James Charles, 2016) and remains a touchstone for accessible, mass-market American makeup at sub-$15 pricing across Walmart, Target, drugstores, and Amazon.
