We had the good fortune of connecting with Marquis Glisson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marquis, why did you pursue a creative career?
I pursued a creative career in the beauty industry for becoming a cosmetic therapist. When women leave my chair knowing how good they feel inside and out means the world to me. To know that just by conversing and using the skills that I was given to achieve such talented works of art. To then have it displayed on such amazing women is what I aspire to be a true calling.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My unique artistic vision, attention to detail, and ability to enhance diverse features sets me apart as a makeup artist. I’d say I’m Mona Lisa’s makeup artist. At this exact time what I am most proud of in my career is becoming Atlanta makeup artist of the year for 2023. That is such a big achievement for me.

I am able to say I got this for by letting all the. “NO’s” not affect me in any major way. I kept pushing and stayed focus. It wasn’t easy at all. As a creative you face a lot of this in this industry. But the goal is to remain focused on you!
The lesson I’ve learned along the way were to go in do the job and go. Don’t be to over worked because then you’ll burn out and not be coming satisfied with other art while creating.

Lastly what I would like for the world to know about me is…. I’ve done everything on my own straight out the ghetto to the red carpet. Nothing was given to me. Never looked for a hand out. I’m completely humbled by my career and drive. Thanks to god for allowing all of this to happen.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
So we would most definitely check out a couple of rooftops I feel like having a view of the city is truly motivating to say the least. For food I’d take them to my favorite Mexican restaurant, which is one of the best here in Atlanta!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d love to show love to everyone that has a place in helping me remain focused. Shout out to my sibling, my best-friends and also my fiancé. They mean the literal world to me. Not only but GOD himself.
