Robyn Lawley Scores First Beauty Gig, Because Why Shouldn't Plus-Size Women Model Makeup?

There are those fashion brands that are unfortunately resistant to using curvier models. But you'd think that beauty brands, where the emphasis is on the face alone, wouldn't care what a model's body looked like.

You'd think -- but it took all this time for Robyn Lawley, arguably the most well-known plus-size model in the biz today, to score a makeup gig. But it was worth the wait. Lawley shared her new Barneys New York campaign on Facebook on Wednesday, writing:

This is my first proper beauty job ever!! Often models of my size are overlooked I applaud @barneysnyofficial and the very talented @benhassett using me

The holiday campaign, Face Time, showcases four dramatically different makeup looks created by four different brands: Givenchy, NARS, Make and Kevyn Aucoin. Our favorite take on holiday makeup happens to be the crimson-lipped look by Givenchy; but really, Robyn can pull them all off.

Because everyone's favorite plus-size model isn't only a gorgeous body -- she's also a pretty face. Watch the video above.

We love Robyn:
