Candice Olivia is the makeup artist, educational influencer and entrepreneur behind CandiceOBeauty.com and @CandiceOBeauty on all social platforms.
Based in the DC Metropolitan area, Candice uses her background in business development and sales along with her experience as a professional makeup artist to provide expert product knowledge, buying suggestions and tutorials allowing every day women to develop easy and achievable beauty routines. Her motto is “do the most, be the most” and believes that “in all things we should be intentional”.
Her vibrant and sassy personality allows her to connect with many in her small but mighty online community. When she isn’t playing in makeup you can find her in the gym, meal prepping, having drinks with friends or playing with her cute miniature dachshund puppy Chloe Vienna.
Candice was diagnosed with Stage 2B triple-negative breast cancer in April 2023 after identifying a lump through self examination. After 14 rounds of chemotherapy and surgery to remove affected lymph nodes, she was confirmed cancer free in November of 2023. Subsequently she completed 16 rounds of radiation and 5 rounds of immunotherapy and rang her final bell in June of 2024.
Throughout treatment, Candice took her followers along with her and documented the journey, sharing every up and down while simultaneously advocating for Black women to be in tune with their bodies, take charge of their health, and to screen early and often. She is now an Advisory Board Member for Bexa Equity Alliance that works to provide women of color in underserved communities with free access to Breast Cancer Screenings.
