Life & Work with D’Lisha Johnson

Today we’d like to introduce you to D’Lisha Johnson. 

Hi D’Lisha, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started doing makeup right out of high school and I have forever been in love with it! I started with doing my friend’s makeup and from there I started doing makeup for Fashion week every chance I got and never looked back. 

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I would say in the beginning it was hard to find what my niche was in makeup. Everyone was doing the dramatic looks and I always loved a simple soft glam. For me, it was a challenge to find women who wanted the soft and subtle over the colorful and glitter Makeup. 

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I specialize in soft glam looks. I may do the dramatic looks on myself sometimes but it’s to keep my brushes busy! I am most proud of all my work I am especially proud of being part of multiple fashion weeks and seeing my work on the runway. 

What sets me apart from others is that makeup isn’t a job for me it’s a passion! I love to make people feel good on the inside and outside. 

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
I would say never give up! Always know that we all have to start somewhere and with patience and practice and prayer you can do what your heart desires
