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!

Although it is common for us to do makeup for weddings and bridal portraits–that’s not the only makeup we know how to do here at Facade.
Corporate headshots or other professional portraits are an increasingly common marketing tool. It’s critical for your business that you are portrayed in the correct manner as these photos become an important visual representation of you to your client on business cards, websites, and other marekting materials. It’s a great way to establish a sense of trust and rapport with potential clients before ever having met them.
THIS, however, is why it’s incredibly important that not only do you have an appropriate, professional look in your photograph–but also that you look like YOURSELF on your best day– not over-the-top or glamorous. It’s crucial that when meeting new clients you don’t look like someone else completely from the photo. But that being said, doing your own makeup as you normally would isn’t always the best idea. The camera lens tends to read light much differently than the human eye. This is why many times when you think you have on “enough” or even “too much” makeup in person, you may look washed out in photos.
We are skilled at accentuating your best features, concealing minor imperfections, and creating a polished yet natural look. Because every last detail is captured in head shots/portraits, makeup applications for this purpose (a “photo face” as we call them) are scheduled for 60 minutes to ensure a flawless application and finish.
A photo face is $100 when scheduled with staff artists Kate or Dayna, and is $125 when scheduled with the owner–Corinne. False lashes, if desired, are $25 extra. We recommend having hair styled or placed in rollers prior to your makeup appointment.
Please call 713.552.1545 to schedule your appointment.

It’s incredibly important to capture the way you look for your wedding. Often, brides will choose to have a bridal portrait session a few weeks prior to the wedding. This allows not only for her to see how everything (dress, hair, & makeup) comes together in advance, but also gives her more time to work with the photographer to get the desired image under far less emotional pressure.
Many brides will use this opportunity to have their “bridal run-thru” with hair and makeup professionals to establish the kind of look they want for the big day. Some, however, prefer to have a seperate run-thru in advance so they can iron out details of their look BEFORE the bridal portrait session.
Stacy, (pictured above) had a run-thru with Facade owner, Corinne Williams, prior to having her portraits taken. Brides that choose to do a run-thru in advance may choose to have it done on the day of their engagement party or other special occasion so she can truly enjoy having her makeup done for a special evening out.
Bridal run-thrus/portraits are the same price as the bride’s makeup on the day of the wedding. Because of the amount of time and precision put into the look, bridal looks are $150 with Facade owner, Corinne Williams, or $125 with senior staff artists Kate or Dayna. False lashes are $25 extra.
Although far less common, some MOB’s also like to have a run-thru so she can feel confident in her look before the special day! MOB run-thrus are $75 with Corinne or $65 with a staff artist.
Please call 713.552.1545 to schedule an appointment.

Madison had her high school senior portraits taken by Michael Carr at Michael Carr Photography. She is a natural beauty with a lot of spunk. Although Madison certainly doesn’t require a lot of makeup to look beautiful, she wanted to accentuate her eyes for a fun, playful look. After a full consultation, we create a look that best exemplifies each girl’s personality.
Every last detail is captured in a portrait, so makeup applications for this purpose (a “photo face” as we call them), are scheduled for 60 to 75 minutes to ensure a flawless finish. This service is $100 when scheduled with a staff artists Kate or Dayna or $125 when scheduled with the owner, Corinne.
False lashes, if desired, are $25 extra. We recommend having hair styled or placed in rollers prior to your makeup appointment.
To schedule, please call us at 713-552-1545.

Also, if you have a graduating SENIOR this year, consider booking for the day of their commencement ceremonies–they will have DOZENS of photos taken of them that day, and we promise to help them look stunning in them all!
AND if you have a JUNIOR becoming a SENIOR! Consider booking a photo face application for their SENIOR PORTRAITS this summer!
