The woman who dubs herself the "first female model from Saudi Arabia" has bagged a big new account, as Roz, who is currently based in Los Angeles, has been announced as the new regional face for Kat Von D Beauty.

The vegan, cruelty-free make-up brand by the famous American model and tattoo artist Kat Von D has chosen the kingdom's platinum-blonde beauty to front its campaign for True Portrait Foundation in the region.

The new products come under the brand's complexion collection and boasts its first medium-coverage formula, coming in 40 shades to suit a variety of skin tones. It is based on a liquid-to-powder formula, featuring Elastic Essence Effect, which ensures the product does not settle into the skin. These are available in Sephora stores across the Middle East.

“Roz is living her childhood dream of being an international model and breaking the boundaries of fashion and beauty in the region," the team at Kat Von D Beauty said in a statement. "Her strong personality speaks the brand’s DNA of bold beauty, passion and perfection."
