Mally Roncal is the famous make-up artist behind the "J. Lo Glow," the look we always see on Jennifer Lopez. She also works with the entertainers Beyonce and Mariah Carey.
She has become a celebrity in her own right as in her business Mally's World, there is "a 10-foot poster of her; and a TV showing all her appearances on “Oprah” (thrice), “The View,” “The Today Show” and “Access Hollywood.
"Roncal herself has been written about on such magazines as Allure, Marie Claire, Self, Harper’s Bazaar, People, US Weekly and Entertainment Weekly."
A lot of you have seen her on QVC with the Mally Beauty segment. She starting working with the No. 1 Home Shopping Network in March of 2005.
Roncal says, “I chose to sell my makeup on direct TV because I wanted to be the one to share the message with the customer, it’s important to me that they hear it from me—how to use the product, and how they will feel after they use the product. It may not change their life, but maybe make their day a little bit brighter.”
One fascinating thing about Roncal is that she "never had formal training in makeup. The skill and talent were natural to her. She just started working on fashion shoots and models, and then somehow extended her reach to celebrities."
She loves her heritage and to speak in behalf of being a Filipina.
“In honor of my fellow Filipinas, I’m going to name a lipstick Maganda!” said Roncal, who regards herself as “very Filipino. Like, very. Like, crazy. I eat Filipino food all the time. I’m very passionate about my Filipino upbringing.” She would often talk to Beyoncé about pansit and adobo and how Filipino food is the best in the world!
“Not to be biased but really, Filipinas are the most beautiful women in the world. Just look at the skin!” said Roncal. “Also, there’s something about a Filipina as opposed to any other ethnicity: very feminine, very delicate, and we really take pride in our appearance, you know. You never see a Filipino woman who isn’t well-groomed.”
