Jan. 22 2024, Published 1:45 a.m. ET
Many influencers have been willing to share their most glamorous styles within the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle world. However, there has long been a gap between creators who consistently share their style and creators who share their lives authentically. It’s easy to share media that dissociates one from all the “not so pretty” moments and struggles. Still, one innovative trendsetter is reshaping the narrative around what is fashionable and beautiful. Meet model, influencer, and content creator Lisa Wei. With a mission to make a difference, Wei’s visual platforms showcase her natural beauty and impeccable style and help others feel more confident about themselves via her fashion. However, in 2024, Wei is set to redefine her influence in an unprecedented way. Having already established a dedicated following with her original podcast series, she is now revamping her non-visual platform. The new upcoming iteration of her podcast (coming in spring 2024) promises to elevate her insightful and therapeutic messages on self-improvement, continuing to create confidence but with a renewed and even more impactful approach.
While Wei’s projects and multiple achievements radiate her passion for self-reformation, the road to becoming a highly-respected influencer was filled with obstacles. Along her journey, Wei had to rely solely on herself, without financial help from family or anyone else. She took it upon herself to capitalize on her formal business education and began a career at one of the largest telecommunications companies in Canada. Despite not representing her true passion, Wei thrived in the corporate environment. She learned to invest in stocks until, unfortunately, the pandemic struck, stocks plummeted, and she was nearly back to square one financially. Armed with her adoration for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, Wei cultivated her influence organically and grew her platforms as demand for more media increased. Following a burst of opportunities, she was once again able to sustain herself through campaigns that eventually led to the end of her corporate career and the start of her self-employment.
Entering the beauty industry, saturated with competition, is a challenging feat. To thrive, one needs to set themselves apart, and that’s precisely what Wei has accomplished. Being of East Asian heritage, she found ingenious ways to cater to a broad range of people from all backgrounds while catering to East Asians and other individuals with mono-lids/low-nose bridges. As a makeup artist, Wei has been able to help countless people with similar genealogy as they require specific methods for applying makeup. The ability to set herself apart in an industry filled with intense rivalry has been a testament to her achievements and successes that have not been overlooked. Wei’s most prestigious accolades include a long list of impressive collaborations. She has worked with brands such as Meta, Ray-Ban, Amazon Prime, Burberry, Mejuri, Dove, Crest, Blue Jays, Perrier, Olay, Tresemme, Herbal Essences, and Bobbi Brown.
In addition to working with many high-end brands, Wei has served as keynote speaker for all Mejuri influencers to coach them on affiliate marketing, and she has driven six-digit revenues for significant brands during Black Friday through sale guides. As a content creator, Wei has repeatedly gone viral for highly successful projects such as “single single,” “Soft launching” your boyfriend, and dating. By being incredibly transparent and passionate about body procedures and therapy, Wei continues to empower women all over, helping them navigate the single life while nurturing the best possible versions of themselves.
