Actress and former model Joy Bryant pose for a three-page editorial in the May edition of "Essence" magazine.

Shot by Michael Thompson, Joy showed off Spring's bright makeup trends. Isn't it great to see Joy still doing her modelling hustle?

The Bronx, NY-native was last seen in the all-star comedy, "Welcome Home, Roscoe Jerkins".

Speaking of which, Joy spoke with Black Voices Blog about the film roles she's interested in:

Well, having worked on this movie and having so much fun doing a comedy, I would love to do more. But I think in general, I just want to work with good material, whatever that genre. As long as it is good or there are some really great people involved, actors or directors that I can learn from and grow from. That's the best scenario right there.
