Hopes and dreams for the future

Carla hopes to move to Cape Town and get into the film and theatre industry where she hopes to take her talent worldwide.

She had some tips for up and coming makeup artists:

"You have to be dedicated and diligent with your work. Focus on building your name in the beauty and makeup industry. Don’t be shy to put yourself out into the world and always advertise your work whether it be through Facebook or Instagram or even just making some flyers or business cards to hand out. If you don’t put in the hard work and the hours you won’t succeed."

The future of South Africa

Briefly News asked her how she felt about the future of South Africa:

"The makeup industry is definitely growing in South Africa. People nowadays are using more makeup and are aware of the industry. However, with that being said there definitely is way more opportunity overseas in other countries, such as the film and theatre industry. Hollywood and celebrity makeup artists are where every artist should aim to be."
