Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Face of New Boots No7 Campaign

No7 Match Made service

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is an award winning writer and best known for her novel Half A Yellow Sun, which is set in Nigeria during the turmoil of the Biafran war.  The author is the new face of No7 Match Made, a service which helps you find the perfect shade of make-up for your skin tone.

In the Boots TV ad, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie looks absolutely stunning in a gold 50s style dress as she walks though a meadow of autumn leaves.

The Nigerian born feminist, talks about society’s take on women and make-up as part of the ad.

‘Our culture teaches us that if a woman wants to be taken seriously, then she’s not supposed to care too much about her appearance.’

She goes on to speak about her relationship with make-up and makes a very poignant statement about self acceptance and confidence.

Although the advert is short, it has a very powerful message and offers some serious food for thought.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, we salute you!
