Cailyn Connelly

1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
My favorite item of makeup is setting spray. It completes the look and ensures my makeup is long-lasting, giving me the confidence to go through the day stress-free and ready to overcome obstacles. I just love the symbolism of it really. Having one product that can complete an entire look, just like a pair of earrings or a bracelet. Items that bring everything together and make it complete.

2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I would want to look like the supermodel, Adriana Lima. I think she's absolutely beautiful inside and out, and radiates confidence. Being a model, I look to other models for inspiration, and she definitely inspires me. I hope to meet her one day and tell her how much I look up to her as an empowering women.

3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
I am motivated by a lot of things in life, but one thing in particular that motivates me is the outcome of a situation. Knowing there's an outcome to everything, whether good or bad, helps me to focus and work hard, to do my part. Of course, I always strive for a good outcome, but the bad also teaches me so much, so I'm thankful to experience both!

4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
A perfect Saturday for me would start with sleeping in after a long week of modeling, volunteering, and school work. Then a shopping spree to look for new clothes for appearances and photo shoots. I love going to different stores to find a variety of looks. Being in the fashion industry, my style is always changing and I feel like I have a different kind of look ever week!
