Lisa is a make-up artist whose talent and vision have made her a top global creative force.

In October 2015, Lisa published her first book, Face Paint: The Story of Makeup, an accumulation of years of research into the history of makeup. The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller and is now published in nine languages.
