Among Gwyneth Paltrow's many jobs is that of serving as "creative inspiration" for cosmetic company Max Factor, which of course entails offering her face up for advertising campaigns.

The first photo (seen above) of the most recent campaign - which was inspired by Paltrow's Renaissance-like career - sees the actress/rockstar wife/blogger/style icon as "The Writer." So how did she manage evoking the character? "It's kind of me when I'm most myself - doing something creative. You know, having a look that says confidence, creativity, but still very much who I am," the mother of two explained.

Paltrow will appear in six other photos for the campaign, which are sadly not displayed in the U.S. considering that Max Factor hasn't been sold here in two years. Now you'll have an excuse to buy with all the European fashion glossies!
