Last weekend Facade Owner, Corinne Williams, accompanied by Senior Staff Artist, Kate Block, went on location to the Houstonian Hotel to do the makeup for Ashley Rovere and her lovely bridesmaids. Facade loves our brides and being enveloped in the fun and anticipation of a wedding—spending time preparing these girls was no exception. Our sweet bride was so excited to be surrounded by her loved ones–and with her magical vision of her wedding reception pulled together by Bahara from Plants ‘n Petals, photographed by Michael Carr Photography, videographed by Elysium, and planned by the capable hands of Ann Whittington (Ann Events) her night was truly ENCHANTING! Watch this beautiful highlights video and enjoy! [Actually wait! Don’t watch it unless you’re wearing your Facade waterproof eyeliner! ;-)]

“Photo Face” Makeup — Bridal Portraits

Tags

bridal, bridal makeup, bridal portrait, bridal run-thru, Corinne Williams, Houston Makeup, Houston makeup artist, makeup artist houston, makeup for weddings, Michael Carr Photography, wedding, Wedding makeup, wedding run-thru

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.

We are thrilled to share that the owner of Facade, Corinne Williams, was interviewed for a piece in the upcoming issue of PaperCity! PaperCity is a local publication available free in Houston with articles about fashion, trends, events, and Houston society.

Here’s your sneak peek of the interview! You can pick up a copy of PaperCity here at Facade or at several other local businesses throughout Houston!

Want the products Corinne mentions?

Bye Bye Undereye from IT Cosmetics is $25 for a tube that will last you at LEAST 3 months. Bye Bye Pores also from IT Cosmetics is $25. These products are absolute MUST-HAVES as far as we’re concerned! The entire concept behind IT Cosmetics are products that look realistic even on High Definition television. If it’s good enough for that, it’s good enough for us!

Beauty For Real Cream Blushes, $30. We sell the “Beauty For Real” collection too! Each of these creamy blush compacts have two colors in them. In a beautiful dusty rose tone with a soft highlight color called “Get Lit/ In the Pink” and a gorgeous bronze color with a gold highlight called “Goldrush/After glow”. We recommend Using the pink and/or bronze on the apple of your cheek, and either of the highlight colors on the tops of cheekbones for a beautiful, dewy glow. The bronze/gold colors will be beautiful in the upcoming spring/summer months!

ERA spray foundation, $55, by Classified Cosmetics comes in a variety of colors, provides great coverage that looks like real skin, and contains skin-loving ingredients to soothe and heal sensitive or blemish-prone skin. Plus it’s WATERPROOF so you can dance all night long even in Houston’s high humidity and know that your look will last!

LIPSMART, $30, is a beautiful hydrating lip plumper. Old plumpers basically used ingredients they KNOW will irritate your lips to the point they swell–which accounts for the extra volume they provide. It’s usually not harmful–most companies use products like peppermint extract, but it IS irritating. Lipsmart, on the other hand uses ingredients that encourage water retention on a cellular level. Over time, the skin cell swells to accommodate the extra water molecules giving you plump, luscious lips without the sting!

Paul & Joe Beaute 001B Bronzer, $40, is beautiful for paler complexions. It doesn’t have any sparkle in it, and lends a soft beautiful warmth that never looks heavy or dirty.

Facade Natural Touch Foundation, $50, is Corinne’s liquid version of the ERA spray foundation. Great for girls intimidated by the spray application. This formula also feels a little lighter once on and therefor feels better on less oily skins than the spray foundation. It too, is a waterproof formula.

 

 

 

Facade Waterproof Eyeliners, $22. These are THE best eyeliner pencils for lining the inside membrane of the eye HANDS-DOWN. Available in 10 stunning shades that really last! When the nights over and you’re ready to remove, just use a waterproof eye makeup remover like “In An Instant” from Ilona or vaseline works very nicely too!

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.
