It’s about time someone cleared this up. Everywhere you look, it seems that someone is telling you what you should and “shouldn’t” wear to bring out your eyes’ natural color. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, there IS a sort of “science” behind this art. It’s called “color theory”. It was pounded into my head over and over again when I was in school for fashion design, but unfortunately it’s not something every makeup artist or hair stylist really ever masters (they should! It’s SOOOO very helpful!)

Bear with me here…we have a short lesson that will help you do this all on your own. And if anyone tries to tell you differently…look it up! These theories are true and really work!

You simply need to re-learn the color wheel! We all know our primary colors right? (Red, blue, and yellow) When you mix any 2 primary colors together you get secondary colors (orange, purple/violet, and green). When you mix any primary color with any secondary color you get a tertiary color (red-orange, yellow-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green). When you make a chart of their colors with their relationships you get this nifty little wheel:

color wheelI hope I still have your attention, because this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART!:

Complementary colors : are colors opposite one another on the color wheel. But here’s what you need to remember. When these colors are placed next to one another, that is when they look their brightest! (To remember it, think this…they COMPLIMENT one another best) I will use this theory to show you how to apply it to your eye color in a moment.

Now you know how everyone tells you “if you have blue eyes you can’t wear blue eyeshadow” etc? I HATE that! It’s just not true. First of all–in my opinion, most girls can wear just about any color eyeshadow they FEEL like. It just may not bring out their eye color the most! But even so, you can make blue eyes look bluer wearing blue eyeshadow! Just like you can make green eyes look greener with green (you get the idea). The trick is to wear a blue that is LESS BOLD than your own blue…So yours looks brighter in comparison! I will use this theory below as well. If the color you choose is brighter than yours—that’s ok. It’s not wrong–it won’t look bad. It just won’t make your eyes flash their boldest brightest…

NOW for the best part, I have provided the complimentary colors to the most common eye colors, plus recommendations for facade eyeshadows that fit into this suggestion! To view larger pictures of any of these eyeshadows or to purchase, you can find them at our webstore here!

Our skin is constantly changing, and thankfully so is the realm of possibilities to treat it!

One of our favorite things about Natura Bisse is the incredible dedication to science they have and pour into the making of their products.

They have been laboring over their latest pride and joy, Diamond Life Infusion, $590, for the last couple of years. The new patent-pending active ingredient was discovered when scientists were actually researching potential cures to cancer, when they noticed the incredible benefits to the skin.

You know how sometimes you see a woman whose age is completely elusive to you? She looks so young and vivacious, but you know she looks younger than she is…and then there are women who are the reverse. Who through stress, illness, or overexposure to the sun looks a decade or more older than she is…these characteristics that age your skin are not related to “chronological age” (the actual number of years you have been alive), but on your “aging biomarkers” (the relative “age” of your skin based on other factors). When Natura Bisse ran their tests, women saw a reduction in 3.9 years in their aging biomarkers after using it once a day for 7 consecutive days. That is incredible! Imagine how remarkable the results may be after a month or even longer! This means that there are visible and almost immediate changes in the skin of those who use it. Don’t believe us? Come in to Facade and ask us for a few samples. See for yourself! For even more information read this great blog entry!

This product is designed to be used as a SERUM once daily AT NIGHT. A little bit goes a long way, so this product should last a couple of months.  It is designed to be used AFTER your toner and BEFORE your moisturizer, and can be combined with any other system from Natura Bisse (diamond, the cure, C+C, Top 10, Essential Shock, etc).

In other news, They have begun to re-package their ever-popular Oxygen line! Don’t stress, they haven’t touched the formula. Just updated the packaging to the new, fresh oxygen-infused blue!

natura bisse new oxygen packagingPLUS for a limited time only, when you buy the Oxygen Complex, $145, from us, you will also receive a full-size Oxygen Mousse cleanser ($48 value) FREE! If you haven’t tried it, the Oxygen Mousse was added to the collection this past Fall. It’s light, pillowy texture is great at removing makeup and excess sebum while infusing the skin with essential oxygen to restore radiance.

Also launched recently, was the new Diamond White Brilliant Cream, $215. This cream is a part of the continually expanding Diamond White collection which targets and lightens hyper-pigmentation. This treatment cream can be used during the day (for those who don’t like a sunscreen) or used during the night only (for those already enjoying the Diamond White SPF50 during the day). By infusing their proprietary lightening ingredients in every step of your skin care regime you will see results faster. These products are designed to work in tandem to give you smooth, evenly-pigmented skin.

Last, but not least, they have also added to their C+C body collection! As in the other products in this line, C+C stands for Vitamin C + Collagen. Both of which are found in this product. The vitamin C is an antioxidant that repairs skin damage and even can help PREVENT damage caused by the sun. This refreshing C+C Vitamin Splash, $55, lightens your spirit with a fresh scent like it was bottled right from an orange grove. The mist it provides instantly quenches skin. Great to refresh at the pool or beach, or even to bring a smile to your face when you WISH you were at the pool or beach and you’re at the office instead!natura bisse c+c splash
