MALLY RONCAL

Mally is an amazing New York based make up artist that has worked consistently with A-listers such as Beyonce (official artist for many years) Angelina Jolie, Claudia Schiffer, Maggie Gylenhaal, Jennifer Lopez . She has her own line of make-up which I personally have found to be fantastic (I'm hooked on her concealer, mascara and glosses!). Her line is available on QVC where it does amazing business - multi-millions - and is also available in outlets in the States such as Henri Bendel. She has tons of 'How to..' videos on her website which are very addictive. She is also the creative director of Tracey Reese.  She is pretty inspiring - she is also a mother of young twins and recently gave birth to another little girl AND she always looks so glamorous! Mally Roncal is TODAY'S BEAUTY INSIDER.


TELL US A BEAUTY SECRET.
Well, if you know me, it's not much of a secret, but... translucent powder is the enemy!!!! I have given it the nickname  "wrinkle finder" - it makes you look older, drier, cakier, funkier...not cute! My ladies out there deserve better! I have an amazing product called Mally Beauty Evercolor Poreless Face Defender, which is the world's first ever CLEAR powder. It does everything that a traditional translucent powder is supposed to do - it sets your makeup and mattifies shine without any of the nasty side effects, meaning, it does not make you look ghostly, it does not look cakey, and it does not settle into fine lines and wrinkles! We call it the "wrinkle eraser", and it leaves you with the most beautiful, smooth, satiny-matte skin.


WHO AND WHAT INSPIRES YOUR WORK?
I am inspired by all of the fierce women I know! My beautiful family (my cousins and aunties, my Beans, and of course my incredible mother), the amazing celebrities I have worked with and all of my loving Mallynistas give me so much strength and fill me with positivity and joy! I work to provide them with not only awesome, BULLETPROOF products, but also a shoulder to lean on, a girlfriend to confide in, and a makeup artist to help them look and feel as gorgeous as they deserve! 
WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF PERFECT HAPPINESS?
Spending the day outside with my beautiful family, cooking some Filipino food, doing some yoga, watching American Idol and Ru Paul's Drag Race and going to bed early!!! 

WHAT ALTERNATIVE CAREER PATH WOULD YOU HAVE FOLLOWED?
 I actually started out pre-med in college. But, I have to say, I would either be a soccer mom or a drag queen!
WHO OR WHAT, IN YOUR EYES, DEFINES BEAUTY?
 To me, my mother, Dr. Pilar Roncal, is the definition of beauty. Not only was she absolutely beautiful on the outside, but she was beautiful on the inside as well. She believed that everyone should be treated like a superstar, and that is something that I will always take with me. I live every day to honor her spirit.
WHAT NATURAL TALENT WOULD YOU LOVE TO BE GIFTED WITH?
 I wish I loved to exercise!!!
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST BEAUTY EXTRAVAGANCE?
I have to say I am a little bit of a lash addict! I am a mascara junkie and I used to spend upwards of one hour creating these full, thick, amazing lashes on my clients, which I was able to simulate in my Volumizing Mascara. When I need a little something extra, I use multiple sets of false lashes to create a perfect, customized look--it really helps to not only open up the eye, but to help make the face look more wide awake and fresh.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESION?
 I kept all of my mother's clothes, shoes, and jewellery, and each piece is so incredibly special to me. My mother had the FIERCEST style; seeing her wardrobe everyday mixed in with my own reminds me of her beautiful energy, her strength, and inspiring personality.
WHAT IS YOUR ALL TIME FAVOURITE BEAUTY TREND/LOOK?
One of the looks I am most known for is the "Signature Mally Glow"--that look of beautifully healthy, dewy skin. It's so fresh and modern!
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE PHILOSOPHY?
Something that was taught to me at a very young age is what makes us different is what makes us beautiful. As a makeup artist, my goal is not to change the way you look, not in the slightest. Rather, I want to bring out the most beautiful you.
HERE ARE 5 OF MALLY RONCAL'S FAVOURITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Mally Beauty Cancellation Concealer. The most AMAZOIS concealer ever! Not only does it cover up any dramas you might have goin' on, but it also helps to brighten your face, making you look more wide awake and even more ‘gorgois’!
Dr. Brandt Infinite Lineless Moisture. I spent many, many years travelling side-by-side with my clients, living on airplanes and in hotel rooms. At the time, I LOVED it, but, my skin did not! When I found Dr. Brandt's moisturizer, it changed my life.

Waterpik Flosser.  Ok, so I have to admit, I'm slightly obsessed with dental hygiene! My team and I love to floss our teeth!!! I always travel with my Waterpik.
OPI Pistol Packin' Pink My all-time FAV nail color! Unfortunately, it was discontinued, so I have to scour the internet for it.


WEN by Chaz Dean Re-Moist Hydrating Hair Mask Between, QVC shows, photo shoots, TV appearances, and just day-to-day activities, my hair gets a beating, y'all! That's why I LOVE the Re-Moist Mask! After just one use, my hair is softer and shinier, without getting weighed down.
