perfect bronzer bronzersFeeling pale and blah from the winter? Warm up with some bronzer in preparation for SPRING! Our Fave Bronzers below: Try Too Faced Cosmetics Sweethearts in Peach Beach (A) to give a sheer shimmering glow to even the fairest of them all. MAI COUTURE smartly has bronzers in convenient purse-ready powder papers (B), For those of us with larger pores try Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless (C) for bronzer that masks imperfections with a little color and an effect similar to a soft focus lens! Love your bronzer sans sparkle or shimmer? Too Faced Chocolate Soleil (D) or Milk Chocolate Soleil are completely matte and satisify sweet cravings with the smell of chocolate! Fans of matte shades will also loveDiego Dalla Palma UK Tanning cake #99 (E)—which is the best-selling bronzer we have for the most natural kiss of color. Those tired of powders should try Becca Cosmetics – North America Bronzing Skin Perfector(F)–a sheer gel that can be layered for intensity, or Natura Bissé‘s Cure Sheer Touch(G)–a firming, moisturizing gel for face and body with bronzer and a touch of DHA for a gradual self-tan! For our tree-hugging beauties, try rms beauty‘s ORGANIC, RAW Buriti bronzer (H)—it’s in a coconut oil base which is nourishing and beneficial for the skin and bonds with it seamlessly for a natural glow. Saving best for last is our current fave–Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Bronzing Veil (I) in Tropical Days (right) and Tropical Nights (left) have a beautiful ombre effect with a highlighting shimmer at the top that gradiates into a gorgeous bronze below. Swirl altogether for a beautiful mid-tone or sweep the bronze tone where you want it, highlighting with the top portion as needed after. And of course, Your bronzer is NOTHING without the perfect brush! Facade Bronze Beauty Brush (J) is big and fluffy –the bristles have a lot of air between them making sheer natural application fool-proof because you will always glaze on just the right amount!

DO NOT TRY TO SCULPT/CONTOUR WITH YOUR BRONZER! Contouring with a contouring powder (Kevyn Aucoin makes one) is best for this because it is not WARM—warm bronzers put under cheekbones can look dirty! Bronzer looks best dusted in a big W accross cheeks and nose where the sun would hit you first! Dust remnants on brush across the hairline and your chin if it is prominent–if you were to go out without sunscreen these are the places you would get pinkest (or tannest) before anything else—Therefor, it is the wisest place to put the most color!

Bronze on, lovelies!

BKR water bottles! NEW to Facade

Our latest obsession are these awesome BKR water bottles!!! They are wide-mouthed GLASS water bottles that are coated with a brightly colored silicone sleeve that protects your bottle. Because it’s glass, it is dish washer safe and free of BPA so even if it heats up in your car during the day–you’re never putting harmful chemicals in your body. The wide mouth makes it easy to drink from and clean. They also sell replacements of the twist-off lid that has it’s own handle attached so it’s easy to carry single-handedly with your cell-phone and keys en route to the gym!!! At $30, it makes a wonderful gift for the holidays! (We even have a deep oxblood red for our TX A&M fans!!)

We are THRILLED to be published in the current issue (Fall 2013) of INSIDE WEDDINGS! We had the privilege of working with some of our favorite vendors in May of this year for the wedding of Facade bride, Tori Pate! The article featuring several photographs of Tori, her mother, her mother-in-law, and brides maids (all of whom had makeup done by Senior Staff artists Kate and Dayna) begins on page 110! Flowers by Abraham from Plants ‘n Petals, a cake by Cakes by Suzie, photography by Michael Carr, and the whole thing coordinated by THE best event planner in Houston– Ann Whittington. We are so excited to share this recognition with the creme de la creme in Houston’s weddings!

Kate and Dayna went on location to hotel Icon to do the makeup for the gorgeous young bride and her party. Kate then followed the bridal party to The Corinthian where she stayed until after the ceremony ended to touch up lipstick/gloss, and powder. (touch-ups on other makeup was un-necessary, as the majority of our products are waterproof and therefor VERY long-lasting!)
