In 2021, Hope Harvard founded Hope Beauty with one mission: to encourage women to glorify God in all that they do - including makeup. The one of a kind cosmetic line is Biblically inspired with each product telling the story of a woman from Scripture. To Hope, it's about more than simply looking pretty, it's about your heart too.

Hope Beauty 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. By lunch time, I had made a plan and started on Hope Beauty.’”

Her favorite memory is cheering on the Clemson Tigers in the 2018 College National Football Championship as a member of Clemson University’s dance team, The Rally Cats.
