Raelene was adopted by a ‘wonderful, gentle couple’ when she was just eight days’ old and has two grown-up children and one grandchild. After a lifetime of putting her family first, the opportunity to become a Brazilian Beauty Brand Ambassador has given Raelene the encouragement she needed to invest a little time and love in herself.

Raelene believes confidence is what makes a person beautiful.
