We had the good fortune of connecting with Delisa’e Malone and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Delisa’e, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
It gives me life! Helping other women look and feel their best self. Enhancing the beauty that’s already there. The Gemini women is said to be pretty, witty, and one of the most creative signs of the zodiac which is myself. I’ve always been fascinated with beauty specifically, makeup it’s one of my passions. Being a self-taught makeup artist prompted me to go to cosmetology school allowing me to expand my knowledge and flourish. False eyelashes always stuck out to me they’re so extravagant the way they draw attention to your eyes. I want women to embrace femininity and feel the best versions of themselves glamorous, luxurious, confident, sexy and empowered.What should our readers know about your business?

I am most excited about continuing my journey after having to adjust due to the pandemic. I’m where I am today by not quitting and truly having a love for beauty and helping other women feel the best versions of themselves with DK Minks creating a product women love! I never let the pandemic stop me it was one of my biggest challenges. I started my eyelash business in January of 2020 and I gained some momentum in February 0f 2020 I had so much to look forward to everything was coming together it was the most exciting time of my life! Then the pandemic hit in March and everything just stopped! Nobody was thinking about eyelashes it was a hard period. I dropped my prices and after the lockdown I switched things up I added a new collection and new faces. A lesson I learned along the way is some things are completely out of your control. And your not always gonna be motivated or inspired so be disciplined. DK Minks is all for inclusivity and we are a brand where ethics, expertise, and our environment are equal we guarantee the most sustainable cruelty free production process.Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever.
