Charity
In April 2011, Covergirl supported the Procter & Gamble Children's Safe Drinking Water campaign. Covergirl donated all its proceeds from the sale of the special powders, which got launched for the 50th anniversary of the company, to it.
CoverGirl has also several times given checks to people in need featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Most recently to the cancer-diagnosed Talia Castellano, a 13-year old girl wishing to be a make-up artist. Ellen DeGeneres also announced on her show that CoverGirl chose Talia to be an honorary CoverGirl.
