Commenting on her award, Yana Johnson MBE said, “It is extremely wonderful to have been recognised for that which I am truly passionate about, considering that I also represent the very market that I serve. It’s a case of standing up for what you believe in and doing something about it”.

Yana Cosmetics is the only British Independent Premium Make up brand for the ethnic market, which started by specializing in custom blended foundations for black women and has developed a full range of make up and skincare that is suitable for ALL skin types.

In (2008)  Yana expanded the brand by launching the Yana Make-up Representative Programme (YMR) bringing empowerment to women through reselling Yana make up and providing them with the skills to become Make-up artists.
