MICHELLE BRANCH - BRANCH TO DESIGN MAKE-UP BRAND

Stunning singer MICHELLE BRANCH has delighted cosmetics company BEAUTYBANK by agreeing to be the first "Guest Creator" for its new make-up brand.

The EVERYWHERE star will advertise the make-up giant's new colour cosmetics brand FLIRT! and has decided to name each shade of lipstick after songs on her latest album HOTEL PAPER.

Senior vice president, general manager of Beautybank, JANE HUDIS, says, "The concept of rotating Guest Creators is a fresh and original approach.

"FLIRT! is a brand driven by pop culture. Having artists express their creativity on a seasonal basis will keep Flirt! fresh and relevant.

"We are thrilled to have Michelle Branch because she truly reflects the energy and spirit of the brand."

Branch's collection is an exclusive line of nail polish and matching lip colour with each shade named after her songs from the album Hotel Paper.

The collection and the full Flirt! cosmetics line will debut in October 2004 at KOHL'S department stores across America.
