We believe in the transformative power of self-love, and our brand is a reflection of that belief. Our values are deeply rooted in providing clean, vegan, performance-driven cosmetics that not only enhance external beauty but also foster self-empowerment and high vibrations.

We meticulously formulate our products with clean, vegan ingredients, ensuring they cater to diverse skin types. More than just cosmetics, our products carry affirmations and empowering messaging, turning each application into a ritual of self-love. We believe in beauty that goes beyond the surface, reaching into the core of an individual’s confidence and self-assurance. This philosophy guides every step of our journey, from product development to the transformative experiences we aim to create for our community.

At Manifest Beauty, we define beauty as a holistic and transformative journey that encompasses both inner and outer radiance. Beauty, through our lens, is not confined to conventional standards; it’s about embracing authenticity, confidence, and self-love. Our brand’s mission is to redefine beauty by infusing it with a deeper purpose. In our philosophy, true beauty radiates from an open heart, confidence, inner happiness and unconditional self love. It transcends physical appearance, reaching into the realms of self-empowerment and high vibrations. Our products are designed to enhance natural beauty, but more importantly, they serve as tools for individuals to embark on a journey of self-discovery and confidence. Beauty, in the context of Manifest Beauty, is a reflection of inner strength, authenticity, and the joy that comes from embracing one’s unique self.

An intriguing facet of Manifest Beauty that may not be widely known is our unexpected inspiration from a transformative meditation experience. During a Dr. Joe Dispenza retreat in 2021, I had a vivid vision of an extraordinary future, surrounded by love and joy, with Manifest Beauty products everywhere. This unexpected revelation became the catalyst for the brand’s inception, steering my entrepreneurial journey from real estate into the beauty industry.

This unique origin story sets us apart and infuses our brand with a sense of purpose and authenticity. We draw inspiration not just from industry standards but from profound personal experiences that embody our commitment to self-love and empowerment. The unexpected twists in our journey have become integral to the Manifest Beauty story, shaping our identity and driving our dedication to providing transformative, clean, and vegan beauty products.

Do you have any special tips for Winter skincare?
Living in LA it can get pretty dry, maintaining healthy and radiant skin becomes paramount. My special tips for Winter skincare revolve around nourishing and protecting the skin from the harsh elements. Firstly, hydration is key. Using face oils helps to combat dryness and keeps the skin supple. My favorite face oil is House of M Miracle Serum infused with saffron that embodies the luxury rituals of the Middle East.

I also extend the use of oils into hair care. I’ve been jumping on the Tiktok trend of using hair oils for growth, shine and hydration and it is a game changer! I love mixing Amla oil and Rosemary Mint oils and massaging them into the scalp the night before a hair wash day for much softer dreamy hair.

It’s also an inside job- drinking lots of water and good sleep help to combat the dryness that colder weather creates.

Don’t forget the lips – they often bear the brunt of Winter weather. Manifest Beauty’s ‘Chili-Infused Lip Plumping Oil’ not only enhances the appearance of lips but also provides nourishment with its infusion of 3 natural oils. Apply it generously as part of your nighttime routine for a fuller pout in the morning.

Finally, sunscreen is a year-round essential. Even in Winter, UV rays can be damaging. Opt for a clean, vegan sunscreen to protect your skin from potential harm. I love the Murad one- it’s so lightweight and nourishing.

As we head into the Winter season, what makeup trends or styles do you personally find appealing or trendy?
As we transition into the Winter season, my favorite makeup trends revolve around earthy brown shades for the eyes, with some shimmer and highlights.. Chocolate and red tones for lips and pink and purple tones for cheeks add a touch of warmth and sophistication, complementing the season’s cozy vibes. I’m particularly excited about Manifest Beauty’s recent launch of fall shades, including ‘Spicy Rose BIG POUT ENERGY,’ ‘Chocolate Chili BIG POUT ENERGY,’ and ‘Scarlett Flame BIG POUT ENERGY.’ These shades perfectly capture the essence of the season, offering a bold and empowering statement.

I also appreciate the trend of radiant, glowing skin—achievable with clean, hydrating products that enhance the skin’s natural luminosity. Add a little Lip Oil and you are good to go.
