Katie Holmes v. 2013 is looking pretty flawless!

Four months after the 34-year-old actress and designer was named the first celebrity face of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, she stars in the inaugural image from the campaign -- with a smoky eye, pink lips, sexy wavy hair and a chunky statement necklace.

The Dead Accounts actress and single mom to Suri Cruise, 6, says that Bobbi Brown's makeup was one of the first brands she used as a young woman. "Her color palettes aren't extreme, so when I first started wearing makeup it felt comfortable and I didn't feel like I had too much on, which can happen," she says in a statement.

Holmes is also a big fan of Brown herself. "She's an incredible woman. So I'm thrilled on so many levels."

Adds the often fresh-faced star: "I really like her philosophy that makeup makes you feel beautiful. You're already beautiful, but it makes you feel stronger and better . . . It's nice to have products out there that do help you when you haven't slept enough, or if you're going in to a big meeting and you're a little nervous and it might be that tube of lipstick that gives you the extra dose of confidence you need."

"I have yet to meet a woman that doesn't love lipstick, no matter what she does," jokes Holmes, now ensconced in downtown NYC with Suri since her split with Tom Cruise**, 50, last year. "It's like the universal equalizer."
