If there's a maintenance mantra Ellen DeGeneres can get behind, it's "Easy, Breezy, Beautiful."

The Emmy-winning daytime queen has signed on as the latest face of CoverGirl Cosmetics and will star in a new print and commercial ad campaign that's rolling out in January.

"That's the first thing they teach you when you're a cover girl," DeGeneres said, striking a modelesque pose for her studio audience on Tuesday's edition of Ellen, where she also showed off a picture of her, mid-touchup, during a recent photo shoot.

"They're putting some lip liner on me—man they love lip liner," she said. "[The makeup artist] 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.' "

As she's wont to do, DeGeneres said she'll be sharing footage from her commercial shoot as soon as the the cameras start rolling.

No word on whether dancing will be involved, but we know she's already got her line down pat.
