Tell us about yourself

My name is Ciarra O., I'm from the Chicago suburbs and I'm 23 years old. I own my own business as a hairstylist & makeup artist. I have always been passionate about modeling. I grew up watching my sister model and fell in love. Being a makeup artist,  I always admire watching the models in their element after enhancing their natural beauty. 

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I am just starting in the modeling agency but already have quite of bit of experience in front of a camera. I have done many test shoots with photographers, as well as, watching past models do their thing.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to work in print, catalog, and commercials whether that be in modeling or makeup. 

What does it mean to be your kind of beautiful?

Being my kind of beautiful is being true to myself and not changing for anyone.

How would you describe your fashion style?

I mainly wear a lot of streetwear but I can be very versatile and adapt to other styles.

Who or what inspires you?

I would have to say the people surrounding me in the beauty industry. They strive to keep going and growing in their knowledge of what they know. It makes me want to work just as hard or even more to get to where they are today!

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?

Since I am newer to modeling, I would say message as many photographers and models to start networking. You want to build a community so people know you and want to work with you! I also recommend following inspiration models and mentors. 

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.

I would say I have struggled with people not getting back to me when wanting to connect with them and feeling discouraged. I learned that you can't let that get to you because if the company truly wants to work with you, they WILL reach out. Every job is looking for something specific, don't let that get you down. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

Confidence is truly so beautiful and that is something I have always had. It's important to stay humble and be yourself, that's where the confidence truly comes from. 

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?

You have to come to terms with the fact that beauty comes in different looks, shapes, and sizes. Being able to find yourself and truly love that person you find, the confidence comes naturally.
