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.

Every bride deserves a calm, comforting atmosphere on her wedding day. Allowing us to come to you can assist in providing a more serene experience as you get ready with your closest friends and family.

Recently, we were invited to do the makeup for a wedding for Lindsay Harris, at the home of her parents, in Beaumont, TX. Facade Owner, Corinne Williams, had done the makeup for Lindsay’s two sisters on their wedding days, and had done Lindsay’s makeup for her engagement party, bridesmaid’s luncheon, and various showers.

Corinne and staff artist, Kate Block, arrived in Beaumont on the eve of the wedding, so Lindsay’s makeup could be done for her bridal portrait (below, captured beautifully by Houston photographer Michael Carr) and her rehearsal dinner.

The morning of the wedding, makeup was done for the bridal party and close family.

Prices for “Destination” On-location services, vary. Since this trip required an overnight stay, accommodations were provided by the bride and her family.

Call the shop at 713-552-1545 for more details to book your wedding or special occasion makeup!

Instead of coming into the shop, occasionally brides prefer us to come to them. Whether it’s in the privacy of their own home, or the comfort of a bridal suite- we can make that happen! It often invokes a feeling of calm, quiet intimacy with her bridesmaids and mother.

Last weekend, bride Robin Ricks, was married at the Houstonian. She and her husband, Aravind, held a Catholic ceremony on Friday and a Hindu ceremony on Saturday.

Senior staff artist, Dayna Leigh, did the makeup for the ceremony on Friday, and was accompanied by senior staff artist, Kate Block, to assist with makeup the following day.

A newly popular trend has been for the videographer to put together a “Same Day Edit” to play during the reception. This video was filmed and put together by T2 Production. Catch Dayna in scenes :19-:31 of the video doing the makeup for the bride! Plus a close-up shot of the brides finished face at :48!

On-location fees for staff artists are $300 (price includes the first face) and $85 for every face thereafter.

On-location fees with Facade owner, Corinne Williams are $500 (including the cost of the first face) and $100 for every face thereafter.

Usually, a minimum of 3 faces is required for each on-location visit.

There are additional charges for travel outside the beltway, bringing an additional artist, and false lashes, if these things are necessary.

There is so much to plan for an upcoming wedding, and the bottom line is you want to feel confident that you’ll look great on the big day.

Many brides will come in for a run-thru to meet the artist that will be doing her makeup and have a “practice” session to make sure she can communicate the type of look she wants. EVERY SINGLE product that is put on your face is noted with thorough instructions from the artist, so she is sure to be able to re-create the look you conceptualize EXACTLY on your wedding day. Keep in mind that NOTHING is set in stone until the big day–so if you want to change anything about your look, just let us know. It’s important for you to be brutally honest about what you do and don’t like- we want to make sure you LOVE your look–but also remember that this is the PERFECT time to experiment. If you don’t like anything–we don’t have to do it on your wedding day!

We also offer brow shaping with either tweezing or threading, to make sure every part of your gorgeous face is PERFECT for photos AND the aisle.

In addition, many brides also will have bridal portraits taken before the wedding– your makeup will be done again following the directions recorded from the run-thru. Sometimes brides will schedule the run-thru to coincide with the day her portraits are taken to kill two birds with one stone and save a little money.

Casey’s makeup was done by staff artist Kate Block, and her beautiful portrait was taken by Houston photographer Michael Carr.

A bride’s social calendar can be quite full, so you may also consider having a party face done for your engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, and/or rehearsal dinner. Some also schedule a photo face for their engagement photos as well.Last, but not least, on your big day you have two options:

1. Come to our beautiful store located in Uptown Park–come just yourself or bring your mother, sisters, bridesmaids, flower girls, etc. Feel free to bring snacks and/or drinks and leave the rest to us. Our makeup room is designed to feel like your fashionable best friend’s boudoir– cozy but elegant at the same time.
2. Have us BRING everything to you. We will go on location to your venue of choice to do your bridal party. We have kits ready to go, and make sure that everything we used in your run-thru comes with us.

You’ve probably been to Facade to shop or have a lesson or your makeup applied for a special occasion–but we also will bring the shop to you! We always have full kits packed and ready to go for special events on-location!

Earlier this year, we did exactly that for Michelle–who was married at Hotel Zaza. The event required two artists– owner Corinne Williams, and senior staff artist Kate Block were responsible for the bridal party’s pretty and polished looks.

The wedding was put together by one of Houston’s finest wedding planners- Ann Whittington– who is also a dear friend of ours at Facade. She shared with us this video put together by the videographers at Elysium.

Pay special attention to frames 1:06 and 1:42 to see Corinne doing the bride’s makeup, and frame 1:41 to see Kate doing a bridesmaid’s.

This unique video was actually shot AND edited during the wedding, and played at the end as a surprise for the bride and groom before all the guests left for the evening!

Most of our clients come to US to shop for their favorite brands in makeup and skincare and to have their makeup done for special events.

But sometimes, it’s more convenient (or just more FUN!) to have us come to YOU! For a wedding, engagement party, or even just a fun “girls night in”, Facade will travel!

In the photo above, Facade owner Corinne Williams is pictured doing the makeup for Natalie Brown (maiden name Reese) in the Brown’s beautiful home before Natalie’s engagement party.

Corinne also did the makeup of the bride’s soon-to-be mother-in-law, Suzanne Brown (who is a loyal Facade client) and soon-to-be sister-in-law, Sarah Feigelson (former Facade bride, and loyal client).

Corinne and senior staff artists Dayna Leigh and Kate Block will be going on location again to do the makeup for the big day itself– at Hotel Zaza. They are responsible for the looks of the bride, the bride’s family, groom’s family, and all the bride’s attendants, totaling 18 faces in all.

For more information about on-location events and pricing please visit our website or call us at 713-552-1545 during regular business hours.
