Now the rumours have been confirmed Holmes, who counts Sophia Loren and Beyonce as her beauty icons, has said, 'I was very thrilled to be a part of this [collaboration]'.

Of Brown she said, 'Bobbi is exceptional and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is a company that we, as women, all turn to because it is make-up that is very accessible and makes you feel pretty,' she said. 'Sometimes it is just a lipstick or a blush that makes you feel like you can do what you need to do. Make-up is powerful and I am thrilled to be a part of this brand.'

While Brown says of Holmes, 'we instantly got on and talked about so many things from what it's like to be a busy working mum and what it's really like to start a company. I'm a big fan of her clothes, I've been a fan of her acting for years and there is not a more beautiful 'Bobbi' face than Katie. She looks amazing without make-up, she looks incredible with make-up and I just thinks she's a great role model for so many women'.

They have been working together to design the look for Holmes' Holmes & Yang fashion show, while Holmes will take an active role collaborating on her campaign for Bobbi Brown cosmetics making her so much more than just a celebrity face.
