To Hope, it's about more than just makeup, it's about your heart too. Hope began her career in the West Wing of the White House at age 21, followed by many other political positions. Her years of political work earned her expertise in strategic communications. Hope Beauty wasn’t something Hope expected to launch, but it was a precious gift from the Lord. She shared the following of its creation: “At one of my darkest times I cried out to the Lord for direction. ‘Jesus, give me a job where I can truly serve you and my country again,’ she said. I fell asleep with a tear stained pillow case that night but I woke up with a word from God to create a makeup line that honors Him and is inspired by women of the Bible. It was like a divine download happened overnight." Hope has a passion for encouraging others and there is no better confidence boost than the Word - and a little bit of makeup.Thank you to our sponsor, Writech!
