From tips on how to master winged eyeliner to a tale of how she forayed into entertainment, Candis Cayne bears her life and style in her first book Hi Gorgeous.
A memoir and a beauty guide of sorts, with a forward penned by Caitlyn Jenner, the book chronicles Cayne’s ascend to fame as the first transgender actress to command prime-time television with Dirty Sexy Money. Weaved into the narrative of her childhood in 1990s’ Hawaii and her quest for self-acceptance are Cayne’s makeup, hair and skin care secrets.
Throughout the pages of the book, which deputed on June 20, the 45-year old star has assembled a collection of fashion and beauty how-tos by makeup artists, designers and stylists. What comes forth is a blueprint of Cayne’s unapologetically sexy yet appealingly natural poise.
“ I want to be able to go to a red carpet event and then run down to the beach and play a game of beach volleyball,” she said to Vogue, referring to her simple beauty routine that draws inspiration from Hawaii’s relaxed lifestyle and paints chic morning-to-night looks.
Before resuming her role as the fairy queen in the third season of SyFy’s The Magicians, Cayne is to embark on a countrywide tour to promote Hi Gorgeous, which retails on Amazon for a little less than $16.
