 My mother always put on red lipstick, just seeing her put it on and then seeing this transition of energy. I felt like it was a reminder to her of the power she had. Hi, my name is Alma and I am founder of Alma Spell. I've always been the person who did everybody's makeup, volunteered to do so. Professionally, I started freelancing in 2016. I remember having a strong dream about makeup brushes. Like, literally, I felt like God was showing me you're going to have your own makeup brushes. Makeup brushes are the most important tool in the whole process. They can make or break a look. Beauty's been around my entire life. Right after I had my son, I was just kind of trying to figure out where to go from here. Because as much as I loved motherhood, it wasn't all I wanted to be known for. Because it was such a new role, it changed everything instantly too. And I felt lost at that time. I get stressed out, I get overwhelmed, I worry. It's okay to get help. If that means working out, if that means therapy, if that means medication, it's okay to get help. In the next few years, I would like to, you know, extend my line. Have a more international presence, you know, be in more stores. All types of people have sat on my chair to do their makeup. You see that shift of energy. You see how empowering women or young girls feel after their makeup. They're like, is this me? And it's always so cool to see that. Because it's like, yeah, that is you. That's always been you. I think it just serves as a reminder of the power that's already there. I think I'm just taking it a step at a time where I'm not trying to get too overwhelmed with tomorrow because that's not guaranteed. It's just mostly trying to do the best of what I can today.
