At $69 for 1.2 oz of miracle mud, we were sold! This little multi-tasker is an exfoliating treatment and firming mud mask IN ONE! We love that!

Available in the original formula and also a “clearing treatment formula” they are both based with kaolin-clay which absorbs excess oil, tightens and tones pores, and lifts the skin. They also contain their “teaoxi” technology…it has real bits of green tea leaves for their antioxident benefits and volcanic rock for their mineral content.

Both masks produce a tingling effect that can range from barely-there to intense. (Our senior staff artist Kate said she barely felt a tingle—and her skin is typically sensitive! But another artist, Dayna, said it felt like she wanted to take it off almost immediately!). A few of our staff members even used the “clearing treatment formula” and then followed it with the original formula for double duty!

Adored by hollywood stars, the original formula has a proprietary blend of exfoliating acids that help dissolve excess skin cells to reveal newer healthier cells underneath.

Exfoliating this way helps your regular serums and moisturizers penetrate your skin more easily, which makes them more effective! Yes Ma’am!

Stop in the store to pick one up! Or call us at 713-552-1545 for more information.
For a limited time for Christmas, pick up a mini for $24…pair it with a Tassi to keep her hair out of her face during her little treatment for an extra $15 and you’ve got a fab little gift!

Give yourself a few gifts and get this holiday season off to a good start! Be thankful for products from some of our favorite brands that make packing for your Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years’ trips a breeze!

Stash your V Beaute IT KIT, $165, even in your carry-on bag! The hard case is TSA-approved, and contains your 5 essential skin products (Get it? V is the Roman Numberal for 5…)! You’ll have with you at LEAST a week’s supply of cleanser, exfoliant, serum, moisturizer, and eye cream. You can buy each product individually to re-fill. AND get this: You can even still pack a quart-sized clear plastic bag to stash your other liquids/creams other 3 oz and have it go through security safely too. (I was skeptical at first, but tried it to/from a trip to Seattle over labor day weekend and later to/from Baltimore airport. Nobody gave me any problems either way)

Also pack your Clarisonic Mia, $119, to supercharge your cleansing routine! It’s small and portable, and the oscillating bristles help really scrub away makeup, oil, and pollutants trapped on the skin. Everyone will wonder how your skin is still glowing despite change in climate and travel!

 

 

Keep your hair out of your face to wash your face or put on your makeup at home or away with a Tassi, $20. Last year, we gave these as Christmas gifts to all our friends and they LOVED them! Available in several colors and patterns (you might even find one to coordinate with your Clarisonic!) This stretchy headband not only keeps your hair back without clips or bands that will leave dents in your hairstyle. Simply put it on like a regular soft headband and tuck your strands in in the back. When your done, remove the headband and gently fluff your hair back into place!

 

 

 

 

Denblan toothpaste, $25,  is a MUST at home or away. This toothpaste comes in an old-fashioned metal tube that you puncture with the back end of the cap. It uses gentle enzymes to scrub away surface stains on your teeth to whiten without stripping nail enamel. The flavor is vanilla-mint so it’s not an over-whelming flavor, while still leaving your breath fresh.

Get the most out of your Denblan toothpaste with a NEW SlimSonic toothbrush, $15! According to the manufacturer, it provides 22,000 brush strokes per minute. It also comes in a variety of colors and patterns INCLUDING a vented cover so you can keep it clean without trapping in moisture causing odor to develop. Great for your gym bag, purse, or for travel!

Our Facade Vanity Organizer, $75, has convenient pockets and sleeves to stash all your makeup essentials. It was specially designed to hold our own compacts, brushes, and foundation, but works well with other major beauty brands. Our customers love to keep their fave products organized in it at home on a daily basis–but whenever they need to get up and go it’s easy to zip and put in their luggage! The interior zip pocket is removable with snaps, so if it gets too full for your organizer to close, you can just take it out, zip the organizer, and pack the interior pocket seperately!.

Any of these products will make your (or anyone elses!) beauty routine home or away a little bit prettier, a little bit easier, and maybe just a little more organized!

All of the above products are sold in our Facade Store in Houston, TX. Call 713-552-1545 or email kate@facadebeauty.com with any questions about products or to order.

Also, he Facade Vanity Organizer can be ordered through our webstore.

Zooey’s makeup look has become almost iconic. Part of what makes her (and her makeup look) so magnetic is how effortless and carefree it all looks when it comes together.

What most people notice about Zooey is her EYES, but surprisingly the makeup she uses to accentuate them is relatively simple–allowing her the ability to play with a fresh pop of color on her cheek and lip without looking too made up or overdone!

START by prepping your face with the right foundation. Zooey’s skin never looks heavy, cakey, or fake. Our Natural Touch Foundation will give you coverage but still looks REAL. Absorb 2-3 pumps at a time into a damp sponge and use a dabbing/pressing motion to apply wherever necessary. (Zooey would likely be shade #2)

Next, be sure to use concealer to cover any under eye circles. This is one of the keys to keeping your eyes looking big and bright! FACADE Invisible Touch Concealer is very opaque so it can cover well even when only using a small amount. Using a big powder brush like our beauty brush, set with a thin veil of oil-absorbing powder like NillaCreme or Verano Pink if desired.

For CHEEKS try mixing blush colors Dizzy and Glendora, $25 each, with your Pom Pom brush and swirl onto the apples of the cheek for a healthy flush of peachy pink. or for something a little more subtle try Dizzy with Colette, instead!

Next for EYES:

Use #29 Wash brush to dust the entire eyelid with a sheer white shimmer eyeshadow like White Linen to instantly lighten and brighten the eye area.

Next, use #21 Perfect Blender brush DAMP to apply a soft caramel color like Sabrina over the lower half of the lid. (For variations with a little more COLOR try a pretty soft blue/silver like Spellbound, a soft lilac like Juju, or a delicate green like Limelight–all would look GORGEOUS with the rest of the shadows recommended remaining the same!)

gently dab off excess color, and using the same damp brush apply a more dense, pearlescent white like Venice to the inner corner of the eye–softly spreading into the tearduct and a little bit under the eye. THIS is pretty much her signature! You can stop here OR

ADD a matte earth tone like Mojave in the crease using the #25 mini flick brush.

Liner adds a LOT of pop–especially for Zooey. I’ve heard many people say that she lines the bottom membrane (waterline/rim–whatever you want to call it)of her eye with white–but in most examples I’ve found in pictures, that isn’t exactly the case. (Look closely, for instance, at all of the examples I found above!). What she DOES do is line the TOP membrane (underneath the lashes) with a black pencil (try BARDOT waterproof eyeliner) AND, either she lines the outer 3/4 of the bottom membrane with the same black pencil OR she lines the entire bottom membrane with a soft bronzey tone like Dorado. Additionally, she tends to have liner in the lower lashbed–something still in that taupe-y bronze family like Bombshell.

Zooey is all about the FRINGE-not just the bangs, but the lashes too! this is where she gets all the ooomph! Curl your lashes first! This is VERY important to really open up your eyes and help them look bigger. (We love the eyelash curler by Kevyn Aucoin!) Start with a mascara primer like the one we carry by Revitalash, and top with your fave volumizing mascara (We love Revitalash mascara in Raven). Last but not least, false lashes are pretty much always a must for Zooey. The trick is to find lashes that will add FULLNESS not over-the-top length. Also look for false lashes that have fibers that aren’t completely parallel–in order for them to look seamless with your own lashes, they should overlap slightly and be of varying lengths–just like your own lashes.  You could also always try lash extensions if this sounds like way too much work!

FOR HER MOUTH:

She almost always seems to have something different on her mouth! On episodes of her TV show New Girl, she usually seems to have a pretty pop of pink like with Flamenco or Blossom. She also could try a shade like Florabelle, or Fandango. For something a little bit more subtle she could do Runaround or Caradona.

NEED MORE!?: There are a few non-makeup related things that help make Zooeys eyes POP:
1.) You can’t do anything about this if you weren’t: but SHE was blessed with LARGE beautiful eyes! They’re naturally big. That helps A LOT. Of course we can always make small eyes appear larger–but just know that if your eyes are very small, you won’t acheive the same results.

2.) They’re bright. Contacts come in a variety of colors–you can change your eye color completely, or just amplify your own color. Their intense color against her fair skin and dark hair make them appear to shine even brighter.

3.) Her heavy bangs don’t work for every face shape, but on her they work perfectly! They hit just above her eyes (BELOW her eyebrows) drawing your attention right to them. Aren’t ready for the commitment? Try inexpensive clip-ins to see how you’ll look before snipping. Also talk to your stylist about the best look to accentuate your eyes for your face shape!
