Every bride deserves a calm, comforting atmosphere on her wedding day. Allowing us to come to you can assist in providing a more serene experience as you get ready with your closest friends and family.

Recently, we were invited to do the makeup for a wedding for Lindsay Harris, at the home of her parents, in Beaumont, TX. Facade Owner, Corinne Williams, had done the makeup for Lindsay’s two sisters on their wedding days, and had done Lindsay’s makeup for her engagement party, bridesmaid’s luncheon, and various showers.

Corinne and staff artist, Kate Block, arrived in Beaumont on the eve of the wedding, so Lindsay’s makeup could be done for her bridal portrait (below, captured beautifully by Houston photographer Michael Carr) and her rehearsal dinner.

The morning of the wedding, makeup was done for the bridal party and close family.

Prices for “Destination” On-location services, vary. Since this trip required an overnight stay, accommodations were provided by the bride and her family.

Call the shop at 713-552-1545 for more details to book your wedding or special occasion makeup!

A BRIGHT Innovation for Lipglosses!

We have had a love affair with Beauty For Real lip glosses for ages now, but in case you haven’t fallen yet (or you haven’t been introduced), allow us!:

This GENIUS tube of gloss comes with a mirror on the side of the tube so you can see exactly what you’re doing without pulling out a separate compact or mirror, AND what makes it even MORE cool is the black button on the top of the lid–press it in, and a small (but bright!) LED light shines at the base of the wand. So as you apply, the light hits your lips. Great for winter months when you need to touch-up before dinner, and still fabulous for summer nights out!

Not to mention the sheer shades are GORGEOUS-it comes in a variety of colors that are flattering to many skin tones, and every gloss smells like (and contains) peppermint extract, lending a tingly sensation to your lips that adds volume.

This Spring/Summer they have launched two brand new colors called DON’T STOP RED and GO NUDE!

And these glosses were featured in the March Issue of Real Simple Magazine!

At $22 with all the bells and whistles, we’re sure you’re head over heels already!

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores & Airbrush Bronzer!

Okay, we’ve been smitten with IT cosmetics for awhile. The makers of Bye Bye Under-eye, have produced a powder that is hard for us to keep in stock: Bye Bye Pores ($25)! This incredibly fine-milled translucent powder creates a beautiful “veil” on the face that minimizes the appearance of fine lines and pores, while reducing shine and giving you a gorgeous velvety texture to the skin!

Just make sure you use a great brush to buff it in, and don’t use too much like Uma Thurman and Nicole Kidman did ! Yikes! (Note: They weren’t necessarily using THIS powder–just a translucent powder.)

I like using our Bronze Beauty brush ($75) which has very soft, airy bristles to dust it lightly on my T-zone especially. Our Beauty Brush ($35) has soft, very compact bristles that will apply a little more product–great if you really are concerned about diffusing the appearance of your pores! Or try the brush from IT cosmetics themselves!: the Heavenly Luxe brush ($48) is similar to our own beauty brush but with a synthetic bristle and a slightly larger head. We’re in love!

We’ve known about this product for awhile, but what’s new on the scene (at least here at Facade, anyway) is their AIRBRUSH BRONZER ($24)! It’s the same formula as the Bye Bye pores but with a gorgeous bronzy hue. No shimmer–just color! Like the translucent powder, it comes in a loose powder sifter. Girls who really like a lot of color or get a lot of sun can use it straight up—but fairer girls can mix the Bye Bye Pores powder with some of the bronzer in the cap for a softer touch of sun!

We also carry their eyelid primer BYE BYE LID LINES  ($25) which preps the tissue to keep eye makeup lasting longer and prevent creasing. It also smooths the appearance of crepe-y lids. BROW POWER ($25) eyebrow pencil, which self-adapts to your own brow color, and their INVISIBLE LIPLINER ($24)–a clear, wax-y feeling pencil used to line OUTSIDE your natural lipline to prevent bold colors from bleeding! These people are geniuses!
