Earlier this week, Avon put the rumors to rest and confirmed signing singer/songwriter Keri Hilson as the spokesmodel for Avon’s Imari fragrance and Color makeup collection (replacing Jennifer Hudson in the process). While we’ll have to wait until August to see the sure-to-be-stunning images from Hilson’s shoot, StyleList was able to catch up with the Grammy-nominated performer after the news broke to discuss her transition from self-described tomboy to the face of a major beauty brand.

StyleList: Did you ever think the day would come when you had a beauty contract?
Keri Hilson: I never thought I’d be the face of a beauty brand, but it’s kind of every female artist’s dream to exude beauty for a company known for that. They approached me and it wasn’t a hard decision for me. Avon represents so many women of every color, of every age. It’s been in business for over 100 years. I’m all about approachable beauty and approachable style. I didn’t want to do something that was so exclusive that no one would relate. So it’s an awesome thing for me to be a part of.

StyleList: Did you use Avon products before the contract?
KH: I remember Avon ladies coming to our door when I was a kid and I think my mom let me order a few things throughout the years. It was just really neat to see the box arrive and it was when I first started wearing lipstick. My mom still wears Avon.

Keri Hilson talks with OK! Magazine about the last concert she attended that blew her away:

I can’t remember who I’ve gone to… Oh! It was Justin Bieber, just his effect on kids is like, what? We’ve performed on the same stage. I went on before him which first of all is amazing. As I’m up there and look around I see all these tie-dyed Justin Bieber shirts, and I’m like ‘Where’s a Keri Hilson shirt?’ and there wasn’t any in the crowd. He goes on stage after me and all he has to do is make this heart with his hands and those kids scream shriekingly loud, the kind where you can’t help but look like a kid. Wow, it was ridiculous and every time he did it, he would just stop what he was doing, smile and do it and the whole crowd was like ‘Ahh!’ and they were all doing it. I can’t wait to see him on tour in his own element.

Telling fans Keri was just happy to be attending the Grammy’s, let alone nominated, Hilson tweeted through much of the 52nd Annual Grammy Award festivities. “What can I say? I AM in the BUILDING,” wrote Hilson after loosing Best New Artist to Zac Brown Band. “That alone is a dream come true…but I won’t lie my heart was poundin like hell!!!” But, the night was not all about the awards for Hilson. According to the “Knock You Down” singer, picking a dress for the evening was a battle.

“This is MJ bad…I STILL haven’t decided which dress to wear,” Hilson told fans earlier in the evening. “its narrowed down to 2 but I can’t decide…wish I could let my fans pick!” Finally narrowing it down, Hilson hit the red carpet writing “if WE win for KYD (Knock You Down) I’m hittin a backflip in my dress!” In related news, Keri Hilson is fast at work on a follow up to “In A Perfect World,” her debut album. Sources say the album is poised for a Spring 2010 release.
