Yes, it is bad. Your description should come pretty early on. Consider the mental image readers have of a scene - in the moment that a character appears visibly, they will imagine the character in some way. (Obviously, if the character is introduced as a shadowy figure at first, you only have to describe them once they come into the light and the protagonists can clearly see them.)

If you don't have a narrative reason to postpone the description, then describe the character directly. Or not at all - not every character needs a detailed description. Ideally, the things you mention should be important, maybe even relevant to the plot. Character descriptions are often way too detailed.
