Speaker Spotlight: Mally Roncal Brings Glam to Entrepreneurship

Celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal made her mark as a beauty expert for the stars. Through television appearances and her gift as a social media influencer, she became a celebrity in her own right. Her dedicated followers attest to the pride, confidence and empowerment they attain from her beauty tutorials and tips. As an entrepreneur, Roncal took the road less traveled and beat the odds. She found lasting success with Mally Beauty, her own brand of premium cosmetics and quality skincare products.

But in many ways, fame and fortune were only the beginning of Roncal’s journey. As a wife and mother, she finds the fulfillment needed to remain resilient. And as a public speaker, advocate and philanthropist, she helps others by sharing her journey. 

Dreams change—and so can you!

Born in Middletown, New York, Roncal may have known her true calling at an early age. She loved experimenting with makeup, including trying new things with handy family members and friends. From the start, her parents instilled in her the understanding that we each find value in our uniqueness. Difference is beauty, a knowledge that lies at her core.

Ever passionate and resourceful, Roncal first followed in her parents’ footsteps. Like them, she pursued dreams of becoming a doctor. But healthcare just wasn’t the right fit. In fact, she found working at a makeup counter more fulfilling. She learned both networking and makeup skills on the job and soon gained the experience needed to build her own client list.

Roncal’s patron list grew. So did her talent in beauty and cosmetics. For more than a decade, she traveled the world as the makeup maven to the stars. Her A-list celebrity clients included Beyoncé, Rihanna, RuPaul and Jennifer Lopez, among many others. 

Roncal thrives as an entrepreneur with Mally Beauty.

The trick for entrepreneurs lies in exploring new territories while also leaning on learned strengths. For Roncal, that meant founding Mally Beauty. The makeup line succeeded brilliantly through her knowledge of personal branding, enjoyment of networking and electrifying personality. Her products soon became top-sellers for names such as QVC, Ulta Beauty, AS Beauty and others.

Throughout her entrepreneurial journey, Roncal still had dreams to pursue. She remained grounded by her desires to help others discover their own beauty and to give back her gifts through charity. Beyond the glam, this gratitude and love for others are part of what make Roncal such a popular public figure and keynote speaker today.

Roncal wins as a social media influencer, author and philanthropist.

With more than 136,000 followers on Instagram, Roncal is always in reach of her adoring fans. She shines perpetually with her message of positivity, advocacy and—of course—stunning beauty tips. Most recently, she hosted her very own limited-time talk show on QVC. Premiering in February 2023, Over 50 and Fabulous featured a new topic and celebrity co-host each week, with Roncal sharing both advice and some spicy discussion with her fans.

Roncal’s book, Love, Lashes, and Lipstick: My Secrets for a Gorgeous, Happy Life, further seals her fame as a ‘positivity preacher.’ With the humor and grace only Roncal can achieve, her pages provide everything from entertaining insider stories to step-by-step makeup and beauty guides.

With such an enormous platform, Roncal also recognized her ability to spread love and joy in other ways. A believer in “God & Family first,” she uses that positivity as an advocate for LGBTQ+ communities and is a proponent of animal rescues. 

Roncal emerges as a favorite keynote speaker and guest.

Roncal furthered her role as a speaker with guest appearances on popular television, appearing as a guest on shows such as The Wendy Williams Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Rachael Ray and TODAY. She widened her audience with interviews and even guest editorials in The New York Times, SUCCESS, Huffington Post and others.

Roncal’s personality, fame and her motivational and empowering message have made her an exciting and in-demand guest speaker. She’s appeared at events such as RuPaul’s DragCon and Beautycon in Los Angeles. Given her dynamic and engaging style plus her philanthropic endeavors, we’ve even named her a top “Keynote [Speaker] for Charity Events and Causes.”
