Exton, PA – July 31, 2007 – Celebrity makeup artist
Mally Roncal has been named to the Advisory Board of
Mommy’s Light Lives On Fund®.
Founded in
1997, Mommy’s Light brings joy and comfort to children
and teens whose mothers have died or are terminally ill
by helping them keep alive traditions and simple
pleasures they shared with their mothers. (www.mommyslight.org)
A favorite
among a versatile group of celebrities including
Beyoncé, Zooey Deschanel, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige,
Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kelly Osborne, Celine Dion, Lee Ann
Womack, and Ashlee Simpson, Mally is one of
the most sought-after style-makers in the beauty
industry. Her makeup artistry can be seen in the
editorial of iconic publications such as Allure,
InStyle, Harper’s Bazaar, W, Marie Claire, Elle
and Lucky as well as on fashion runways,
album covers and the red carpet.
Mally’s natural gift
is her ability to make her clients not only look
beautiful, but feel beautiful, creating a diverse
range of looks from natural and elegant, to colorful and
ultra-glamorous. Her beauty philosophy emphasizes
healthy, breathable skin that looks flawless and dewy.
With the introduction of her Mally Beauty makeup
collection, she has taken her message – and her makeup –
to women everywhere.
“Having lost my mother at a young age, I immediately
felt a strong connection with Mommy’s Light,” Mally
says. “I learned about the organization while I was
pregnant with my twin girls, which was a time of great
healing and reflection for me. My mother has never
stopped being present in my life and I know that keeping
her spirit close is what has allowed me to
feel fulfilled and complete. I am so happy to support
Mommy’s Light, especially now that I am a mother,
because I understand the profound difference it makes
for children to keep their mother's memory alive.”
“Mally’s heartfelt support could not come at a better
time as Mommy’s Light begins nationwide expansion of our
tradition fulfillment and bereavement education
services,” says Laura Munts, Mommy’s Light’s Executive
Director. “Her irrepressible joy and compassion will
make her a wonderful spokesperson for Mommy’s Light!”
