Candice Deanna

I booked a couples photography session + hair & makeup with Candice and let me tell you, it was an absolutely wonderful experience start to finish!

From the moment I met Candice, I felt completely comfortable, despite it being the first time getting my makeup done professionally. She is so incredibly welcoming and sweet, and AMAZING at what she does!

Her expertise and attention to detail is unmatched. She will listen to any visions you have and might even offer insight of her own to make you feel truly beautiful, not only with hair/makeup but also in front of the camera. If you're like me, and are terrible at making decisions, you can count on Candice to offer ideas of looks, hairstyles, poses, locations, etc! I trusted her completely and my husband and I had SO much fun.

Thank you again Candice, we hope to work with you again soon!

Candice was in the right place and right time to help me. She was able to fix my wardrobe malfunction just in time for my brothers wedding. Super nice and helpful

Candice was absolutely wonderful to work with! She made my super awkward partner not look awkward at all and made sure we had fun! She did a great job with my hair/makeup as well! 10/10 would recommend!

Brandy was delightful, energetic, and fun to talk to. She was professional and very knowledgeable. We had her do both makeup and hair and we looked fabulous. Would love to book her again in the future when I am back on Vancouver Island.

Candice Deanna was an absolute treat when my partner and I had our photos taken! 10/10 recommend - lovely lady, lovely experience and lovely photos!

My partner and I are both super awkward and Candice made us feel totally at ease. She caught some amazing candid/nature shots and directed us perfectly where needed. Super friendly and super talented! Highly recommend, we are so happy with all of our photos!

Could not recommend Candice enough! Loveliest person to deal with and took the most incredible photos!

Incredible photographer, who gave us lasting memories that we will cherish forever. Would absolutely recommend her for photos, and makeup/hair, as she does tremendous work! Also, she's queer friendly, which was a nice piece of mind for us!

Candice was an absolute gem to work with! She provided our small wedding with 5 ladies makeup and 4 hair styles. She also stayed and took the photos of our entire wedding! I would happily recommend her and use her for any future events we have! She made our day incredibly stress free and made sure we got the most beautiful pictures. Her partner also pitched in to take extra candid shots which was an amazing bonus! Thank you Candice & Simon! We couldn’t have pulled this off without you!

Candice was incredible to work with. I highly recommend her for any kind of fashion or bridal make up and photography! 10/10 recommend!

Candice is so loving and supportive. She really made me feel loved and beautiful. It was a beautiful day. Thank you

Had a fantastic experience with Candice. I hired her for my wedding, she came and did 4 ladies make up as well as bridal make up and hair do. My hair and our make up latest the entire day & hours of dancing. Highly recommend, she was extremely kind, professional and easy to work with.

I've done 2 shoots with Candice and she is so fantastic. Lovely, fun, kind, professional and AMAZING at what she does. Can't say enough about her.

I had my makeup done and I felt so beautiful. Amazing application and very clean and professional

Candice and I collaborated on a creative makeup / beauty shoot and she executed the looks beautifully in a timely and efficient manner. Both the model and I were very happy with how the images turned out and I am happy to recommend her to anyone looking for exemplary makeup artistry. She's A+ in my books!

Candice has been such a wonder to work with! She has done beautiful makeup and hair for my clients and has become a staple for my shoots! Her ability to do makeup in such a perfect way within a small timeframe is so impressive as well!

Candice did an incredible woman's photoshoot with myself and others. She did great application and incredible attention to detail in my eye makeup. She was professional, insanely talented & so personable! She touched up both hair & makeup throughout shoot without prompting. I can't wait to do another shoot with her soon. Definitely be booking her for any bridal or event makeup.

Candice is amazing at all that she does. She is kind and professional. She's done my lashes since i relocated to nanaimo and i have never left disappointed. She has also done my hair and make up for a photo shoot recently and had me feeling like a total babe.

Candace did my make-up and hair for a photo session with my hubby and she did a FANTASTIC job. She made both tasks seem so easy. She really wanted both my hair and make-up to be exactly what I wanted and she definitely accomplished that. I’d definitely go back to Candace for a special event in the future as her talent and personality make for a great experience!

Have used Candice numerous times as my main hair and make-up artist over the years, and I can't stress enough how amazing she is at her job!:)

Highly recommend!

Candice was my hair and makeup artist for a portrait session a couple months back. She was absolutely wonderful to work with - kind and happy and her work is absolutely gorgeous.
My particular session was to showcase Before/After photos for herself and the photographer. While I've worked with photographers and MUAs before, I had never worked with this particular duo prior. I was feeling very down and self-conscious after a very dreary year (many family deaths during COVID lockdown and a less-than-steady work year), and it was so wonderful to be able to feel beautiful in my own skin again.
Candice is a perfect MUA to go to whether you are an experienced model or just starting out. I attended my session with her with absolutely no plans for my look - I told her to just do whatever she thought would look fabulous. I was very happy with what she came up with.
I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Candice has done my eyelashes and did Halloween makeup for me. I am a lash picker and she works absolutely amazingly with me and is so talented that even on my lashes which are hard to do because I pick them she thrives. I can’t say enough good things about her. She did my makeup for Halloween and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE she’s so professional and an amazing artist that has natural talent along with education which leaves her unstoppable. I won’t go anywhere else, sometimes it’s hard to trust people with your makeup but she is so good that she leaves you speechless with the results. I was so confident and felt amazing. Highly recommend Candice, you won’t be disappointed

Candice did my make-up for my wedding and I LOVED it) She's a pleasure to work with, so easy going, calm and professional. She even stuck around for a while after I got into my dress to fix up some tan lines and add some shimmer. I definitely recommend her services!

As a fellow makeup artist I have worked with Candice on many projects, it’s a great feeling knowing you’re working with a professional, reliable and talented artist. I just wished we lived closer so we could do more together. Anyone would be lucky to have Candice as their artist ️

I've done 2 shoots with Candice and she is so fantastic. Lovely, fun, kind, professional and AMAZING at what she does. Can't say enough about her.
