\u201cI’ll have back to back, three interviews and two Zoom calls, and then I’ll have to wake up the next morning and do a news interview and I have to sleep in my makeup,\u201d she explained, noting that she also relies on a satin pillowcase to maintain her overnight glam. \u201cOtherwise, I would literally … I would be a rat, a dirty moldy rat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Candiace welcomed her first baby<\/a> with husband Chris Bassett<\/a> in the early hours of Oct. 3, 2024. And even when she was enduring the physical demands of child labor, the former Bravo star admitted that she took a 10-minute break to make sure she was camera-ready<\/a>.<\/p>\n“My epidural had kicked in, I was 10 cm. dilated and my doctor comes and goes, ‘Okay, we’re ready for you to push,’ ” Candiace recalled to PEOPLE earlier this month. “And I said, ‘Well … if we’re going to get started, I would like to put [on] my makeup because I need to give birth looking like something. I know we’re going to be taking pictures right after and I need to look right! My son isn’t meeting me looking haggard like I just gave birth! And I can’t be putting on makeup with my baby in my hands.’ “<\/p>\n
