Meet D’Lisha Johnson | Makeup Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with D’Lisha Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi D’Lisha, how do you think about risk?
Risk taking for me is taking a leap of faith. Of course you don’t know what the outcome is going to be,but In the end I’m always left with a lesson learned good or bad! Risk taking has played a part in my career because the things that I said I wish or I should have did, I just said I’m going to do it I’m going to be vulnerable and put myself out of my comfort zone and since then it has led me down some pretty cool paths

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
