Wanna get that “J.Lo Glow”? Who doesn’t!? We’ve got a variety of products to help you get the look!
FIRST we’ve got skincare!
One of our best selling products here at Facade is a product from Natura Bisse called Cure Sheer Cream. It has fabulous anti-aging benefits that actually help revive dying skin cells–giving them hydration and promoting collagen growth in the lower layers of the skin. It has a broad-spectrum sunscreen in it (meaning it protects against UVA and UVB rays) with an SPF of 20. What REALLY makes it amazing is the color! It’s the most high-tech tinted moisturizer you have ever seen. The “color adaptive molecule” adjusts to any skin tone–it doesn’t have as much coverage as a foundation, but it softly diffuses redness and other discolorations while imparting a radiant glow! That, plus the skin benefits, makes a 1.7 oz jar that lasts about 3 months a steal at $170. We’ve tried it on skin tones like that of Liv Tyler to Iman and it really does blend beautifully! Our clients who are big into tennis, golf, or horesback riding LOVE that it’s one step for sun protection, coverage, and moisture. It can be worn alone OR under your usual foundation.
One of the newest products from Natura Bisse, Cure Sheer Touch, is a spin-off–now in a gel formula with NO sunscreen, but the addition of dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This is a sunless tanner–at a VERY low dose, to give a delicate glow to skin over time. It too has the self-adapting color molecule of the sheer cream and can be used on the body or the face. It also has moisturizing and anti-aging benefits, and a formula that feels a little less rich–so girls with oilier skin may prefer this texture over the cream. It gives a gorgeous luminosity to the skin as well. Those who get spray tans could use this to extend the life of their tan! $105 for 5.3 oz.
Now for makeup tricks:
CLASSIFIED COSMETICS spray-on bronzers: Sunkissed (sheer bronze) and “One in the Sun” (richer bronze), $45 are WATERPROOF and come in an aerosol spray can. Mist it on your face (avoid your forehead, focus on cheekbones and nose) or on your legs, chest, and arms to really wow in a great cocktail dress or bathingsuit on the beach! If you need to cover spider veins or bruises, use a fine mist of one of their spray-on foundations to the legs or arms first, and then lightly mist the bronzer to get that beautiful luminous glow!
Girlactik Glamorous Skin Glow, $23.
Is an almost creamy-textured makeup.
It’s not heavy and won’t clog your pores, but it imparts a truly beautiful glow to the skin. Use with the sponge included or with a synthetic cream blush brush to glaze the cheek bones. We use this trick on brides all the time to make their skin truly come alive. It’s also beautiful on your shin bones when you’re wearing a skirt, or along your clavicles (collarbones) to look super sexy even in more conservative necklines. Even on busy errand days where you don’t want to wear a lot of makeup you can smear this on your lids and lips for a little effortless sex appeal!
Beauty For Real cream blush in Goldrush/Afterglow, $30.
This is a cream blush texture (a little richer than the girlactik product) and is best applied with a synthetic blush brush (we like the ‘M’ mixer brush from Geri G. Cosmetics, $15) It comes with a bronzy tone and a more golden hue. I like smearing the darker tone just under cheek bones for dimension and the golden hue just above it.
Whichever method you choose to keep your skin GLOWING, remember that the cheeks are the area you really want that shine—shiny foreheads and shimmery noses can look oily– keep them matte with blotting or powder papers. ($5)
My twin sister and I are going to a family gathering in November and we want to go looking beautiful. Do you sell all of the above product in a kit? I have been waiting since 2009 for SSI to determine if my bone disease is worthy of saying I am disabled, so money is an issue. My twin sister doesn’t work due to the same disease, she takes care of her husband who needs a heart transplant. We are trying to get some money together so that we can get this wonderful make up. This upcoming family gathering is a big deal. Our sisters have been horrible to us over the years and we haven’t seen them for years. I know it sounds childish, but I would like my twin sister and I took walk in there with our heads held high for once looking stunning..what would it be like to look stunning where our sisters might do a double take or even a take a gasp….priceless. If all of this beautiful makeup comes in a kit, can you tell me some prices? One way or another, we will try to come up with the money. Thank you for your time! Cathleen
Hi Cathleen,
My heart goes out to you and your sister–and it absolutely doesn’t sound childish at all. I couldn’t TELL you how many women come in to have their makeup done for family gatherings, school reunions, and weddings with similar intentions ;-). It’s human nature to want to feel confident and look your best… ESPECIALLY when you know some of your biggest critics will be watching.
Unfortunately, none of the above items are available in any kind of set. What we CAN do, however, is give you some luxury samples of each the Cure Sheer Cream and Cure Sheer Touch to try out. These are the most expensive of the products listed above. If you are outside of Houston, TX and needed them to ship, I would be happy to throw them in free of charge if you are purchasing ANYTHING else from us… (the other two products are $23 or $30 depending on which you get). If you live nearby Houston and wanted to come to the store, I would be happy to GIVE you these samples regardless of whether or not you purchase something. They really are fabulous products!
Also, if you are close enough, we do provide makeup SERVICES…it’s $65 for a makeup application (we call it a “party face”) with senior staff artists, Kate & Dayna). We could always doll you up for the day of the event!
Last but not least, although the above mentioned items are not available on our retail site, we DO have a website that sells our own FACADE beauty brand items. Feel free to check that out and see if there is anything else you may like to feel gorgeous for your upcoming event! http://www.facadebeauty.com .
