For too long, multicultural women and their skin weren’t catered for in the makeup world, especially when it came to foundation. So COVERGIRL listened and created TRUBLEND MATTE MADE: a foundation made for the unique needs of multicultural skin, in 40 beautiful shades.
COVERGIRL created TRUBLEND MATTE MADE, but can’t take the credit. The credit goes to the infinite women who spoke up and voiced their skins’ unique needs. So COVERGIRL thanked them in this commercial–with the help of Droga5 NY and director Kim Gehrig of production house Somesuch.
The spot, which ends with a lengthy list of the “infinite” number of women who reached out to COVERGIRL, shows this diverse mix of females–from woman to woman to woman. And it culminates in a final dramatic stairwell shot that brings all the women together as one. Appearing on TV as a :15 and online as a longer cut, it’s an authentic yet elevated glimpse of the women who inspired TRUBLEND MATTE MADE as they go about their everyday lives.

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles. As a 120-year-old brand, Ford looked to its past as inspiration for the switch that’s taking place today. Over a century ago, pioneering explorer Aloha Wanderwell set off from Nice at the age of 16 to become the first woman to drive around the world in a Ford Model T. Now, in 2024, we get to see Lexie, the youngest person to visit every country in the world, take to the wheel of the electric Ford Explorer, reinventing that historic journey for a new generation. Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
“Charge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
