Hi My Loves! Makeup has always been my dream and I wanted to share with you QVC Mallynistas just how important it is to dream and go after your dreams each and every day!
How did your brand come to be?
Ever since I was a little girl, I loved makeup. I even sometimes say I was born wearing makeup! I was a celebrity makeup artist for years, traveling everywhere with some of the biggest A-list celebrities. I found myself making and mixing products to meet the demands of my clients and the looks that I wanted to create. At that time, I knew I wanted to eventually develop my own product line!
What was it like starting out in the very beginning of your journey?
Of course, any new journey you embark on is going to bring challenges, but I always find that having a positive energy and surrounding myself with people who have positive attitudes is the best key to achieving your accomplishments. I always knew that I wanted to launch my product line on QVC as I felt it was the only channel that would really let me speak directly to my consumers, my "Mallynistas."
What and who inspired your dream?
My parents were both doctors and I originally went to school to study medicine, but my passion and love for makeup was always there. My mom was a huge inspiration in my life, she was fashion forward and so beautiful. When I told my father I wanted to become a makeup artist, he was (and still is) so supportive in helping my dreams come true, which I am so grateful for!
Did you have someone special who helped you get to where you are?
Yes! My husband Phil has been someone very special in my life who has helped me get to where I am today. People always ask me what it's like to work together and be married and I always say, for us, it just works! We help each other every step along the way and I am so blessed to have him and our three beautiful children to inspire me every day.
