We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Candrice Austin a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Candrice, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
I’ve competed in pageants since 2011. Finding my own makeup artist each pageant. Not looking the harshness of the products abs brushes used to apply my makeup. In 2018 over a phone conversation with my BESTIE we were speaking about makeup and decided we’re should produce our own makeup brushes. We got together with a group of chemists abs decided on fibers then deciding to go vegan were create a line of luxury makeup brushes called The Vision line.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
In 2020 I launched my first line of Luxury makeup brushes. In 2021 I launch my first line of KISSED lipsticks and lip gloss. We launched our products in NYC stores Flying Solo and Milan. We’re have our products in surroundings states like Tennessee, Alabama and North Carolina along with a few store tight here in Atlanta Ga.

How did you build your audience on social media?
I’m not a social media person. But my Brand Ambassadors bring life to my social media platforms. The key to social media is constantly creating social media. Stay visible on all your platforms
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
I thought my family and friends would be my most biggest supporters. Boot was I wrong…… Make your non family and friends your priority their your biggest supporters….
