Makeup line that began in a garage in Hialeah now enjoy Disney's fame

Hialeah, fla.- It started inside a garage in Hialeah, but a local cosmetics business has captured the attention of one of the world's largest companies and is now working with Disney to launch a collection inspired by its latest film.

With only 28 years, Gabriela Trujillo is the founder and CEO of Alamar Cosmetics, one = start-up that began in 2018 within a humble garage.The makeup artist turned into a businesswoman, appointed the company Alamar, by the neighborhood of Cuba where she was born, and the line is strongly inspired by Cuban and Latin culture.

“When it comes to making my family proud and make sure that his sacrifice was not in vain when bringing me here, I say:‘ No, I have to keep press.I have to show them that it was worth it, ”says Trujillo."It's amazing how much we have grown up".

This is partly due to a great and growing presence in social networks, with 210,000 strong followers on Instagram.

"The power of social networks is crazy to what can reach," says Trujillo.

And who can arrive.The indie brand, which has sold 120,000 units since 2018, caught the attention of a fat fish in Disney, becoming a collaboration in a makeup collection for its next movie "Charm".

“One day alone in September 2020...We received a direct message on Instagram from a Disney executive that says: ‘We have an incredible movie coming out.We believe it would be great to collaborate with you, ”recalls Trujillo."And I thought this is a joke.They are joking.

But it was not like that.

"This film explores a Colombian family and wanted a makeup collaboration that was truthful and authentic for Latin experience," says Trujillo."We literally get colors from the scenes from the movie".

Trujillo expects his success story to inspire other small Latin brands with great dreams.

"Look at my story," he said."I could start my own business and work for me and grow this company, and other Latinos, they can do the same".
