Her experiences as a petite model are invaluable and rare as many shorter models tend to be told they won't make it due to their height. Lisa is proof of the opposite, at under 5'8" she works more than many taller models. Also, she is flawless, beautiful before applying the first drop of make up. As a beauty model she can share her techniques in maintaining her clear skin. She can also discuss the impact of too much or not enough makeup and when each may be appropriate.
