I was born and raised in Washington, and I absolutely love it! I am engaged to the love of my life! We are set to get married in July.\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\nThanks to my mom, I got the travel bug early in life, which eventually lead to me moving to Denmark for six months. That experience completely changed my life and made me who I am today. \n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_inspired_you_to_become_a_makeup_artist\"><\/span>What inspired you to become a makeup artist?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\nStarting at an early age, I loved the performing arts. As soon as I could, I started dance lessons, which is where I learned my passion for the stage and the arts. Throughout middle school and high school I participated in countless musicals, plays, and dance recitals. Once it was time to figure out what to actually do for work, I wrestled with the idea of moving to Los Angeles for my acting career, but I quickly realized I wanted to stay in my home state.\n<p><\/p>\nI have always loved makeup but never thought of it as a possible career! I was always inspired by the makeup artists on YouTube and thought it would be fun to be a part of that industry. After a couple years of working as a barista, I started to research makeup schools and came across QC Makeup Academy. I immediately felt like this was the right next step for me. I was so excited and loved every moment of learning! Once I graduated from QC, I knew that I had found my next greatest passion, and I couldn\u2019t wait to start my journey as a makeup artist.  \n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Kenya-Halloween-Duo.jpg\" alt=\"Kenya Siltanen Halloween Duo\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Kenya-Halloween-Duo.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Kenya-Halloween-Duo-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_was_your_first_freelance_gig_like_Does_having_professional_training_give_you_more_confidence\"><\/span>What was your first freelance gig like? Does having professional training give you more confidence?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> \n<p><\/p>\nMy first freelance gig was so much fun! Having professional training definitely gave me confidence because I felt like I had a true understanding of what was expected of me as a makeup artist. My first gig was for a homecoming dance! It involved full glam, glitter, and false lashes!\n<p><\/p>\nIt was such a blast, and the girls said they had so much fun! They loved feeling pampered and having their makeup professionally done. Helping people feel their best is probably my favorite part of being a makeup artist!  \n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_love_your_Instagram_Your_%E2%80%9CEffortless_Fall_Makeup_Look%E2%80%9D_is_so_perfect_for_this_time_of_year_How_do_you_dream_up_new_looks\"><\/span>We love your Instagram. Your &#8220;Effortless Fall Makeup Look&#8221; is so perfect for this time of year! How do you dream up new looks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> \n<p><\/p>\nThank you so much! I get a lot inspiration from other artists, and I\u2019m a little addicted to Pinterest. I love looking at what other people in the industry are doing. It gives me inspiration to try new things and to think up new and creative looks. There are days when I don\u2019t feel super creative, and in that moment I sit down with my makeup and just play around. I find that it really helps me get out of a slump! \n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_was_your_favorite_assignment_for_QC_Beauty_Academy_Any_tips_for_new_students\"><\/span>What was your favorite assignment for QC Beauty Academy?

My advice would be to not over think things. If you try a makeup look and you plan on it being for an assignment, but it doesn\u2019t turn out the way you want, don\u2019t panic! It doesn\u2019t mean you are a terrible artist, it means you are human and you are in the process of learning.\n<p><\/p>\nIt\u2019s okay if it takes a few tries to get your desired look. Take your time. Practice makes perfect! This is such a fun journey, so just try and enjoy the time you have to be a student. Also, don\u2019t hesitate to talk with your tutor. The tutors are there to help you succeed! \n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finally_we_need_to_know_What_is_your_all-time_favorite_beauty_product_ever\"><\/span>Finally, we need to know!  What is your all-time favorite beauty product ever?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\nOh my gosh! This is my most dreaded question! Ok\u2014my all-time favorite beauty product has to be foundation! I think beautiful skin is the start to a flawless makeup look. Whether it is an everyday makeup look or full-on glam, foundation takes your skin to the next level! \n<p><\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Ready to pursue your passion for makeup?
