Professional make-up artist Marlize Veenhof – better known as YouTube beauty vlogger Kandy Kane – chats to Leigh Hermon about career upgrades, what’s really important in a marriage and becoming a social media star
I have my mom to thank for my make-up obsession.
From the age of 11 I became fascinated by my mom’s morning beauty routine. I’d watch as she outlined her eyes in blue eyeliner and added a lick of mascara to her eyelashes. I’d notice a shift in her confidence when her make-up and hair were done; it was as if it brought out this bolder, more courageous woman. I wanted to experience this change too, so I begged her for eyeliner. During the school holidays she’d let me wear some and I loved it. Once I had been given a taste of make-up, I wanted more so I spent my pocket money on building my own collection of cheap eyeshadow and eyeliner. Soon enough I was that girl in high school who’d wear a full face of make-up to parties on weekends. I knew it was frowned upon, but I didn’t care, because it made me so happy.
My make-up education didn’t come from an expensive course.
