In this joy-filled episode of The Hurray Show, I’m joined by the one and only Mally Roncal—celebrity makeup artist, founder of Mally Beauty, and self-proclaimed “positivity preacher.” From working with Beyoncé to making over moms on national TV, Mally’s vibrant energy is matched only by her heart. We’re diving into her unexpected leap from pre-med to makeup, how a quick change in a green room brought us together (yes, there’s a bra story), and what it really means to live fiercely and authentically, especially after 50. You’ll hear how her family, culture, and personal experiences (including her mother’s battle with breast cancer) shaped the joyful powerhouse she is today. This one’s full of laughs, wisdom, and a whole lotta HURRAY.
