Hillary Makaya Launches Skincare Products

Socialite and businesswoman Hillary Makaya launched her skincare range entitled “MKY” last Friday at the Rainbow Towers in Harare.

The Herald reports that Makaya was happy to be the youngest model in the country to successfully launch a skincare range.

“I am overwhelmed and it is a dream come true. I have been planning for the past two years and could have launched last year, but the process was also affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. It will be in local stores and I am working with my team to take it regionally and internationally.”

The products consist of moisturiser, concealer, exfoliator and serum, among others.

According to Makaya, the collection is a “luxurious skin care,” affordable to many and it is for all skin types.

Guest of honour and businesswoman Zodwa Mkandla said she was happy that Zimbabweans have a skincare product that they can call their own.

Makaya later celebrated the launch with a concert the following day at Alexandra Sports Club. South African amapiano, afro-house, afro-soul, and gospel singer Boohle, shared the stage with some local artists who include Nutty O, Kikky, Takura and Holy Ten.

Recently, Makaya made an appearance on Star FM’s After Drive as part of the press run ahead of the launch of her skincare brand MKY BEAUTÉ. She sat down with After Drive host DJ Ollah 7 in a no holds barred interview and she spoke about her networth among other issues.

When asked if she identifies herself as a Mbingaress, a colloquial term for a rich woman, Makaya responded:

I just live comfortably. I won’t say I’ve got money. I won’t say I don’t have money. I live comfortably. My life is comfortable and I am content with what I have.
