Kayla has such enjoyable trend and sweetness seems to be on the present. How a lot of your individual type is imbued into her character?
She is a trend lady! With dressing Kayla, and doing her hair and make-up, it’s actually collaborative. I’m undoubtedly all the time requested what I’m feeling or if I’ve concepts. In season one, they even have been like, “Hey, let’s make Kayla’s make-up like your make-up!” In season one, I all the time did the eyeliner myself as a result of they needed it to be like a cute cat eye, but additionally [for it to] seem like she did it, versus a make-up artist. I feel they needed her look to be how I normally do my make-up, however with a bit of extra pop of coloration.
Have you ever all the time had such a definite sense of fashion?
It took me a short time to search out my type. I’ve all the time been actually into trend and make-up and hair, however I don’t assume I actually discovered my sense of fashion till I fell in love with myself and went, “Oh, I may do no matter I would like and put on what I wish to!” Getting enthusiastic about dressing a personality, even when it’s for like a three-minute video on-line, has inspired me that I can put on no matter I would like in actual life, too. Whenever you costume like characters, I really feel prefer it does encourage you as a result of it’s like, “Who do I really feel like I’m at present?” As a result of we’re so many various issues. I used to assume I wanted to select one factor like, ‘Oh I’m, ’70s lady,’ however it’s like, we’re not only one factor. Characters are all a part of us or individuals we all know, at the least.
