Candace Corey specializes in makeup artistry but
also does hair styling upon request. Her
versatility has helped her create a multitude of
looks using hair, makeup, and body paint.
As a self taught makeup artist she admitted, “Even
though I have a background in art, I never chose
makeup artistry, makeup artistry chose me.”
“I got my first taste of being a makeup artist, as a
promotional model. One day, while working for
Clinique, I was asked to stop modeling and assist
a few customers in choosing their makeup. At that
moment, I discovered a new passion and a talent
for helping others to recognize their own personal beauty. After that, I was hooked!
I immediately abandoned modeling in favor of doing makeup. I became a regional freelance makeup
artist for various cosmetic companies including Clarins, Ultima II and Iman. As my skills grew, I was
quickly promoted as a national makeup artist for Lancôme and several other major cosmetic lines. My
love for color and creativity took over, and here I am today.”
Her work has graced the pages of numerous publications. In October 2007 her work was featured in 4
magazines; Rolling Stones, Oprah magazine, Beauty News and Brides Noir, all in the same month. Her
skills can also be seen in various advertisement campaigns like Paul Stuart, Arrow, Video Now, Volvo
and Totes.
Her creativity has continued to branch out into other areas. Currently she was appointed as the new
beauty editor for Brides Noir magazine. She has been a featured guest speaker for the Santa
Barbara Beauty Expo, a guest speaker for the Americas Beauty Show, ongoing beauty expert for NBC
Chicago, and a judge on "The Best of the Best III" modeling tv series.
“After 22 years of artistry, my zeal and desire to continue to create has not
waned. I never tire of the passion that each project brings out in me. Each
experience is still exhilarating! While others wake up to a fresh pot of
coffee, I awake to a sketch pad, anxious to write down all of the creative
ideas that I dreamt about.”
“This is the job of my dreams. I hope I never wake up from it!”
