kerry-washington-th-annual-nba-wives-luncheon-black-dress-kerry-washington-th-annual-nba-wives-luncheonWhile Kerry Washington awaits her salary increase from ABC for her hit show “Scandal“, she’s fattening her designer pockets with other work.

Washington, who landed on Forbes’ highest paid actors list for the first time at No. 20, is reportedly earning a $3 million salary as star of the hit series on ABC. As protests brew over the “Django Unchainedactress being underpaid, other companies are lining up to affiliate the ‘it’ girl with their brand.

Washington has been named Neutrogena’s creative consultant and celebrity brand ambassador. Like Neutrogena’s other famous faces, including Hayden Panettiere, Gabrielle Union and Jennifer Garner, Washington will star in the brand’s ads, but she’ll also be taking on a more hands-on role when it comes to product development, Women’s Wear Daily reports.

“For me, the creative consultant role is also fun because I get to bring my fans on this adventure with me,” Washington said. “They know that I’m not just telling them that I’m passionate about a product because I have to say that contractually. They know that I have a voice in the company and that I’m discovering and learning more about skin health all the time and giving the company feedback.”
