I moved to Los Angeles about a year and a half ago to pursue dance and continue my training on the west coast while auditioning\/working and such. I also travel and teach\/choreograph at various dance studios in the US. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>I have an obsession with pigs, puppies, Batman, and the color yellow\u2026 oh, and matte lipstick. Who doesn\u2019t love matte lipstick? In my free time I like to read, and I also volunteer at a few different animal shelters\/rescues\u2014#adoptdontshop! My goal in life is to inspire people, in whatever ways I can. I just want to know that I made a difference, even if only in one person\u2019s life!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_notice_youre_also_professional_choreographer_and_dancer_What_made_you_decide_to_start_a_career_in_makeup_artistry_as_well\"><\/span>We notice you\u2019re also professional choreographer and dancer. What made you decide to start a career in makeup artistry as well?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always loved makeup, and I\u2019m constantly applying it for various shows\/performances\/auditions and whatnot. I learned how to do my own stage makeup by the time I was 11 or 12, and it just grew into this artistic outlet. I would allow extra time just to have those few minutes to enjoy being a perfectionist and get those eyeliner wings just right\u2026 hahaha. (I\u2019m sure many people can relate to that struggle.) Then it dawned on me\u2014why don\u2019t I get some sort of certification in this, since I enjoy it so much? I pursued dance because I love doing it; why not this too? However, since I\u2019m dancing and choreographing as well, I travel often and it would be hard to physically go to school. Then it just so happened that, about that time, I saw a post on Facebook about QC Makeup Academy and how it was all online\u2026 so this was the perfect solution!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_tough_to_balance_two_careers_What_are_the_perks\"><\/span>Is it tough to balance two careers? What are the perks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>It can be difficult when trying to avoid conflicts, and especially once I start working with even more makeup clients, I\u2019ll have to find a good balance. It\u2019ll get pretty busy. But dance and makeup can go hand in hand as well, so that makes it a lot easier. I\u2019ve had a few dance gigs already where they\u2019ve asked me to do everyone\u2019s makeup instead of hiring a separate MUA because it\u2019s easier since I\u2019m already there; it\u2019s one less person to worry about. So that\u2019s great because it brings the two careers together, AND it\u2019s a start to building my clientele base! The best perk though is that I get to have two careers that I actually love and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Evil_Snow_Queen_was_a_runner_up_for_our_Naughty_or_Nice_Winter_Makeup_Contest%E2%80%94and_we_have_to_say_she_looks_pretty_fierce_Where_did_you_get_the_inspiration_for_the_look\"><\/span>Your Evil Snow Queen was a runner up for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/12\/2015-winter-makeup-contest-winners-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Naughty or Nice Winter Makeup Contest<\/a>\u2014and we have to say, she looks pretty fierce!

(Yes, I\u2019m a Disney fiend to the hundredth degree.) I just wanted the intensity of something like Maleficent\u2019s look\u2014the sharp bone structure, the dark shadows\u2014but with the powerful iciness of someone like Elsa. Then, with that in mind, I just let my hands go and create what they felt, adding my own creative touch to the concept and building the back-story with it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kyla-Lardie-5_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Kyla Lardie&#039;s Snow Queen makeup\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kyla-Lardie-5_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kyla-Lardie-5_ed-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_us_about_your_favourite_job_or_client_so_far\"><\/span>Tell us about your favourite job or client so far.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>My favorite job so far were some looks I was asked to do for some girls for Halloween this past October. I was asked to do hair AND makeup, so that was a nice challenge. The first girl wanted to look like the artist Pink, and it was cool making her look like the well-known singer; it reminded me almost of my days in art class learning to recreate faces. It was also fun to do her hair in a funky updo to make it look short, and I got to spray-dye it pink! So fun!<\/p>\n\n<p>Then the other two girls were awesome fun as well\u2014one wanted to be a lion, and the other a cheetah\u2014my brain just went wild, and the looks turned out so great! I definitely surprised myself, and doing these looks made me realize that I think I might want to learn more about special effects makeup and makeup in movies. I really loved just letting my mind freely create those characters!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_up_next_for_you_Where_do_you_see_yourself_and_your_business_in_the_next_1_5_and_10_years\"><\/span>What\u2019s up next for you? Where do you see yourself (and your business!) in the next 1, 5, and 10 years?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>I\u2019ll definitely be focusing on dance more these next few years, simply because my body will only be young for so long. Being a choreographer and MUA are things I can do for a long time to come. Dancing however, will only last as long as my body can handle it. So makeup is something I consistently do on the side for now. I like makeup jobs, as long as they don\u2019t conflict with a dance job. However, in 5-10 years who knows?<\/p>\n\n<p>With that said though, I don\u2019t want to stop learning all that I can about makeup in the meantime. I would love to intern with someone like Nathan Johnson, so I can learn from one the best, hands on, smack in the middle of the business. Opportunities could then grow from something like that. But who knows what will happen, right? I just like to follow the paths life gives me\u2026hopefully that means being a successful artist (in both dance and makeup) in the future!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_your_best_advice_for_a_makeup_artist_just_starting_their_training_or_career\"><\/span>What\u2019s your best advice for a makeup artist just starting their training or career?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<p>Learn all that you can learn, and create all that you can\u2019t. Anything that you\u2019ve been taught, anything you read or watch\u2026 take notes! Learn every single thing you can learn. But even then, there will be times where knowledge isn\u2019t enough\u2026 that\u2019s where your creativity comes in. Cultivate that creative instinct by constantly working on new looks, even just for fun! Come up with a story and create character makeup. Doodle looks in a sketchbook. Do a dramatic costume look. Anything to get that side of your brain working. That way you never get complacent\u2026 no matter what, don\u2019t stop learning and growing!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kyla-Lardie-2_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Kyla Lardie fantasy makeup\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kyla-Lardie-2_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kyla-Lardie-2_ed-270x300.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>But above all else, don\u2019t ever take yourself too seriously. If you work super hard all the time, but don\u2019t allow time for fun, you\u2019ll overwork your mind and get stuck in this weird mental zone where nothing really excites you anymore. You\u2019ll get bored and stuck. So yes, while it is good to be professional and take your work seriously, allow time to play around with your makeup (or whatever else it is you\u2019re working on) and let your mind get crazy with creativity! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_the_question_everyone_wants_to_know%E2%80%94what_makeup_product_is_an_absolute_essential_for_you\"><\/span>And the question everyone wants to know\u2014what makeup product is an absolute essential for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Oh there are so many I love!

Even if I\u2019m in a hurry and I need to run out of the house, I just put on that lightweight foundation and concealer where need be, throw on a little mascara and I\u2019m good to go.
