Oh. My. God.  We are FREAKING OUT over here. We cannot contain our excitement as we are changing and evolving here at Facade. It is absolutely essential that we keep showing you the latest, hottest, most fashion-forward products in our store. Therefor, we are constantly evaluating NEW products and cosmetic lines, and RE-evaluating those that we already carry.

We decided very recently to ditch our longtime beau T. Le Clerc. One of the best-selling products from T. Le Clerc were their brow pencils. NEVER FEAR. We would never leave you high and dry!

Our brow gal, Kate, fell in love with new brand BROW GAL by Tonya Crooks!
Her brow pencils see T. Le Clerc’s and raise them two additional colors, and a nifty sharpener cap!

The pencils are the same size, offer the same colors (plus two additional colors as mentioned to fill in the gaps) come with a spoolie attached on one end (T Le clerc changed their spoolie to some kind of wonky brush that we didn’t like as much). This one also comes with a nifty sharpener cap! That way your sharpener is always on hand so you can get the same precise results you did the very first time. These retail for $23 (compare to T. Le Clerc’s $27). We are ALL about spending less and getting more!

Not only that, but the BROW GAL also has her own clear brow gel ($20). It holds wild brow hairs in place without looking shiny or wet, and lasts all day.

AND for perfecting your brow shape, she has slant-tip tweezers ($28), scissors ($20), and Tweezer Sharpeners ($4)

Let us also remind you, we are still carrying some of our OTHER faves for taming your brows… Tweezers (B) and scissors (C) from Rubis ($45 each) and our Facade brand spoolie with gold handle (A).

Plus we have brow pencils from Paul & Joe (they call them “eyebrow liners” but WE call them “skinny brows”) available in a colors perfect for redheads, brunettes, and dark blondes ($24).

Le Clerc’s “blonde” pencil but in the super easy-to-use “skinny brow” pencil.) We love these because they are always sharp and ready to go–draw in dashes in the direction of hair growth to resemble additional hairs to add fullness without severity. What’s even NICER about THESE is that they have a spoolie on the end of them (unlike the version by Paul & Joe).

Look Younger with Makeup

Try these tips to start looking (or KEEP looking) younger and more revitalized!

1.) Moisturize!

Think of your skin cells like grapes vs raisins. Cells with plenty of water are plump and smooth– cells without it look shriveled and collapsed. For de-hydrated skin (i.e. skin lacking water NOT oil) try Darphin’s hydraskin serum, $75– what they like to call “the little black dress of skincare” because everyone could and should have one! Dry skin (lacking oil) might switch to a richer cream. Also drink plenty of water!

 

 

 

 

2.) Use a liquid to illuminate under the eyes.

Natura Bisse Sheer Cure Eye cream, $115,  mimics the pretty glow from YSL’s Touche Eclat–but has something YSL doesn’t–powerful anti-aging benefits! Fighting under eye darkness and puffs, while lifting and firming. Plus sheer iridescence that gives skin under the eyes vitality! Avoid using thick concealers on this area: it thins as we age, causing this to look worse not better.

3.)Use a translucent powder.

Our hearts flutter a little when we think about Bye Bye Pores from IT Cosmetics, $24. It’s so finely milled that it doesn’t settle in and hi-light fine lines and wrinkles. Instead it creates a sort of “veil” like effect: diffusing and softening the appearance of the skin, and making larger pores magically appear smaller!
4.)Use cream/liquid blushes.

Cream Blushes keep the skin looking dewy and hydrated instead of dry and powdery. Apply it to the apples of the cheeks- where you would NATURALLY flush for the most youthful–and natural–look. We’re gaga for the 8 new shades from Kevyn Aucoin, $24–
pictured here in shade “Isadore”.

 

 

5.) Fill in eyebrows.

Whether it’s from over-tweezing or just becoming sparser over time–brows tend to lose their density as we age. Get the youthful look back by delicately coloring the skin between hairs in the brow. Paul & Joe’s “skinny brow” pencils, $22, are slim like mechanical pencils which makes it possible to draw in individual hairs-without fear of looking like Groucho Marx!

 

6.) Start with a shadow primer.

A primer not only increases wear-time of your eyeshadows–the best ones also help smooth the appearance of the tissue on the eyelid which can start to look crepe-y as the aging process takes over. IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Lid Lines, $25, not only does these things but also contains green tea, vitamin K, and collagen for their anti-aging benefits. Win-win!

7. Don’t be so scared of shimmer!

Seemingly every woman over 35 thinks she can’t wear shimmer– Unfortunately many makeup artists helped spread this falsehood. But look at Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton, and Helen Mirin above and YOU tell ME they don’t look great! I double dare you! The key is to LIMIT shimmers to a few areas. All of these ladies have dewy glowing cheeks, and a highlight somewhere on the eye. Diane Keaton chose to highlight the inner corner of her eye–giving it that glint like she’s up to something. Mirin and Sarandon chose to highlight the browbone. The trick is to use shimmer on the FIRMEST part of the eye to show off how smooth it is! Using shimmer adds dimension and interest to your look. A face done entirely in matts looks dull and lifeless–and you want to GLOW! Try any number of our beautiful Facade eyeshadows with a satin or pearl finish, $18.50 each.

8.) Try a lash serum!

Long, dense lashes are a sign of youth and vitality. If yours are starting to diminish, try undoing the damage with a lash growth serum. We love Revitalash, $100, which goes on once a day like a liquid liner and helps generate new growth while conditioning lashes. It’s even better that there are no reported side effects like with the prescription, Latisse.

 

9.) Plump your lips!

We’re not talking about that over-injected bee-stung look–we just want to restore fullness from your youth.Lipsmart, $30, keeps skin cells in the lip hydrated so they remain plump and smooth (remember the raisin metaphor earlier?)

10.) Try on a NUDE lipstick.

It doesn’t have to be paler than your mouth–try something close to your natural lip tone. When you’re concerned about feathering in lines around your mouth bright colors are your WORST enemy! So instead try something a little more understated. Plus, when lips have lost volume very bright or very dark colors can make the mouth look even smaller. For suggestions from Facade, refer to our earlier entry: “The Perfect Pout“. Don’t believe you can get away with “not wearing enough color”? Look at those pictures of Susan, Diane, and Helen again! Their lips definitely aren’t loud!

Brow Power, chapstick, eyebrow liner, eyebrows, filled-in eyebrows, it Cosmetics, Rashell, Rashell Masc-A-Gray, skinny brow pencil, spoolie

We’ve previously had an update about grooming your brows with tweezing and trimming. But what if that’s not enough? Here are some products that will help give the appearance of fuller, more perfect brows:

Paul & Joe Eyebrow Liner pencils, $20. These brow pencils are AMAZING. We call them “skinny brow” pencils. They are available in 3 shades (including 03, a fabulous shade for redheads). We love that it’s similar to a mechanical pencil–with a small “lead” that makes it easy to almost draw individual hairs– keeping your brows looking realistic.

it Cosmetics Brow Power pencil, $25. This brow pencil is a “universal” color that adapts to your own brow color. Keep in mind that as with most cosmetics, using a delicate hand will get you softer color, and pressing harder will deliver the most intense pigment. The formula also has nutrients purported to help stimulate growth of new brow hairs.

Raschell’s Masc-A-Gray, $10. This is a hair mascara that was actually developed to hide new (gray) growth for the hair on your head. But we’ve used it as a brow gel–to gently hold hairs into place, add a little kiss of color, and cover gray hairs in the brow. DON’T tweeze gray hairs–even if it’s just one now—before you know it, they’ll all be gray–and if you’ve always tweezed them—they’ll all also be GONE! Cover it instead with this, or have them tinted.

If you feel like you need help getting your brow hairs to stay in place, either use a little hair spray on a spoolie to brush them into place, OR scrape a spoolie across the top of a chapstick, and once again brush them into place. It’s a similar texture to that of mustache wax, and can easily hold these hairs where they need to be for the rest of the day.

If your eyes are the window to your soul:your eyebrows are the window frames. Filling in your brows slightly (when done correctly) will not draw unwanted attention to them; It WILL draw more attention to your eyes: which is where you want him looking, anyway!
