Get to know whos behind BeForeverGlammed affordable and glamourous online beauty store.
When it comes to makeup, I am totally about the best for less and guess who is also? Angela, the founder of BeForeverGlammed.com. The 2 of us connected last year after I reposted one of the products she sells on my Instagram @thebiche_com and one of my followers made a purchase with a matter of minutes. Every since then Angela has trusted me to share her products, film first impressions and reviews with my audience. I bet you want to know about her a little bit more because I surely did.
When did you fall in love with makeup?
I fell in love with makeup when I was in high school while living in New York. During that time I started to experience hyperpigmentation on my face and makeup camouflaged my imperfections. It gave me confidence!
What was your first makeup product?
Oh gosh, I would have to say my Prescriptives Foundation. I loved it because it was light-weight and it didn't feel like I had a mask on. I think I just dated myself. LOL.
What is your beauty routine? Meaning from skincare to makeup application?
I'm going to be very honest and say that I didn't have a skincare routine until about 10 years ago - at least not a consistent one. I used to fail my skin terribly and realized late in life that a consistent skincare regimen was not only important but necessary. So, no matter what time of night it is, I make sure I remove my makeup and never sleep in it. That was a struggle for a minute, but I noticed once I cleansed, moisturized, and hydrated my skin daily I got fewer breakouts and actually improved the texture of my skin.
For removing my makeup, my holy grail is coconut oil. I use this before I cleanse and twice a week I use a facial scrub. I’ve also started to incorporate monthly facials which got my skin back in check and microdermabrasion was a game-changer for eliminating my hyperpigmentation. When it comes to my minimal glam makeup application, a must for me is: lip liner, a nude lip color, highlighter, and dewy skin. For full glam a must is: smokey eyes, lashes, a pink lip color, and a bomb highlighter - it's kind of my signature look.
When did you start your business?
I started BeForeverGlammed 3/18/18 after going through downsizing at work. I always envisioned making this happen but was waiting for the perfect time. So I stepped out on Faith and decided there was no time like the present.
How many years young are you? I say years young instead of how old are you.
Thanks for that Doll! I'm proud to say that I'm 52 years young.
What convinced you to go hard as a Minority-owned brand?
There's so much that I'd like to do, but sometimes we have to take baby steps. Finding makeup for darker complexion sisters like myself has not been easy. I can't tell you how many times a foundation or lippy was purchased only to end up in the trash because it left me looking either ashy or gray and did not compliment my skin tone or the size of my lips. More so, I hated that purchasing makeup was so expensive. I wanted to be a point of resource for women of all ethnicities to afford products and still be gorgeous. There is nothing wrong with big brands, but you shouldn't have to break the bank to purchase great products to enhance your natural beauty.
Where would you like to see your brand featured? "Oh wow! Top retail chains of course."
Where do you see your business in the next year?
In the next year, I plan to expand BeForeverGlammed and launch several yummy products. Right now we sell products the industry raves about at affordable prices, but in December, we'll be launching our very own Lippies and Highlighters. We're Excited!

Last Question:
Why do you think it is important to support Minority-Owned Cosmetic Brands?
Quite frankly, there's a need for equal representation in the beauty industry, so let's support each of our journeys and embrace all beauties.
