Early life

Roncal is a second-generation Filipino-American.[4][5] Roncal credits her stylish mother as the original inspiration for her love of beauty and glamour.[6] Roncal has said of her mother, “She was a doctor and she was always done. Like hair, makeup, heels, nail, clothes, Chanel, the whole thing. She was very particular and I literally remember sitting at her boudoir with her and watching her do her face and she would sort of teach me as she was going along.”[6] Roncal’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and died in March 1989. Roncal’s brand motto that looking good makes people feel good originated from her mother’s ordeal.
