"I paint them on! I believe makeup is the great beauty equalizer," she gushed to People magazine. Banks' makeup line basically has three parts - stick-based products called "TYover," eye makeup products called "Smize," and runway cosmetics called "It Factory."

The 'ANTM' host is known for coming up with the word "smize" - to smile with one's eyes. With the launch of her new line, Banks has likewise introduced new words including "beautytainment," "badassery," and "bootyful."

"Our new beauty business is all about 'badassery.' I'm approaching beauty differently: bigger, bolder, badder," she said. The "beautytainers" or those who will be selling the products will be trained under TyraU, the company's online schooling platform.

The former Victoria's Secret Angel can now breathe as she reveals the reason why she attended one of the world's premiere universities: "Do you know how good it feels to finally be able to tell the world why I attended Harvard Business School? I truly learned how to master building and leading my own cosmetics experience."

"I applied my fiercest face at fashion show, and my fellow supermodels started lining up for me to paint their faces, too! On 'America's Next Top Model,' I have given TYovers, model makeovers, for the last decade, and now it's time for me to Ty-YOU-over," she also wrote on her blog.

The TYRA Beauty items will reportedly cost $24-78.
