Get Your Glow On

Wanna get that “J.Lo Glow”? Who doesn’t!? We’ve got a variety of products to help you get the look!

FIRST we’ve got skincare!

One of our best selling products here at Facade is a product from Natura Bisse called Cure Sheer Cream. It has fabulous anti-aging benefits that actually help revive dying skin cells–giving them hydration and promoting collagen growth in the lower layers of the skin. It has a broad-spectrum sunscreen in it (meaning it protects against UVA and UVB rays) with an SPF of 20. What REALLY makes it amazing is the color! It’s the most high-tech tinted moisturizer you have ever seen. The “color adaptive molecule” adjusts to any skin tone–it doesn’t have as much coverage as a foundation, but it softly diffuses redness and other discolorations while imparting a radiant glow! That, plus the skin benefits, makes a 1.7 oz jar that lasts about 3 months a steal at $170. We’ve tried it on skin tones like that of Liv Tyler to Iman and it really does blend beautifully! Our clients who are big into tennis, golf, or horesback riding LOVE that it’s one step for sun protection, coverage, and moisture. It can be worn alone OR under your usual foundation.

One of the newest products from Natura Bisse, Cure Sheer Touch, is a spin-off–now in a gel formula with NO sunscreen, but the addition of dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This is a sunless tanner–at a VERY low dose, to give a delicate glow to skin over time. It too has the self-adapting color molecule of the sheer cream and can be used on the body or the face. It also has moisturizing and anti-aging benefits, and a formula that feels a little less rich–so girls with oilier skin may prefer this texture over the cream. It gives a gorgeous luminosity to the skin as well. Those who get spray tans could use this to extend the life of their tan! $105 for 5.3 oz.

Now for makeup tricks:

 

CLASSIFIED COSMETICS spray-on bronzers: Sunkissed (sheer bronze) and “One in the Sun” (richer bronze), $45 are WATERPROOF and come in an aerosol spray can. Mist it on your face (avoid your forehead, focus on cheekbones and nose) or on your legs, chest, and arms to really wow in a great cocktail dress or bathingsuit on the beach! If you need to cover spider veins or bruises, use a fine mist of one of their spray-on foundations to the legs or arms first, and then lightly mist the bronzer to get that beautiful luminous glow!

Girlactik Glamorous Skin Glow, $23.
Is an almost creamy-textured makeup.
It’s not heavy and won’t clog your pores, but it imparts a truly beautiful glow to the skin. Use with the sponge included or with a synthetic cream blush brush to glaze the cheek bones. We use this trick on brides all the time to make their skin truly come alive. It’s also beautiful on your shin bones when you’re wearing a skirt, or along your clavicles (collarbones) to look super sexy even in more conservative necklines. Even on busy errand days where you don’t want to wear a lot of makeup you can smear this on your lids and lips for a little effortless sex appeal!

Beauty For Real cream blush in Goldrush/Afterglow, $30.
This is a cream blush texture (a little richer than the girlactik product) and is best applied with a synthetic blush brush (we like the ‘M’ mixer brush from Geri G. Cosmetics, $15) It comes with a bronzy tone and a more golden hue. I like smearing the darker tone just under cheek bones for dimension and the golden hue just above it.

 

 

 

Whichever method you choose to keep your skin GLOWING, remember that the cheeks are the area you really want that shine—shiny foreheads and shimmery noses can look oily– keep them matte with blotting or powder papers. ($5)

 

 

 

Give your eyes some “love”

We ❤ Girlactik eye glazes! This product is FABULOUS for weddings and special occasions–there have been times we’ve gotten some on our hands and tried to wash it off with soap and water and it won’t budge! It only comes off easily with eyemakeup remover! These eye glazes ($20) are like an eyeshadow and primer in one. The creamy formula is packaged in a tube sort of like that of a lipgloss.

Try using one of these to really make your eyes pop!

We especially love shades, CHIC, GLAMOUR, and LOVE for use over the entire eyelid. The easiest way to apply it is to smear it across the entire eyelid (you can spread it out using your finger OR a sable bristle/ synthetic bristle brush). It gives a beautiful soft shimmer to the lid, and helps other shadows you apply afterward to adhere better and last longer.

You can also use these light shades with a small liner brush (try Facade #5 Perfect Liner brush, pictured left, $15) to delicately line the inner, lower corner of the eye to add some extra brightness. Smudge right along the lashline, only about halfway. Blur with a darker eyeliner on the outer corner for added dimension.

Alternatively, their colors GLAM and SEXY are beautiful when brushed on the lower lashline (try Facade #27 Sculpture brush, pictured right, $15) to create that soft, smudgy, sort of rock’n’roll look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try layering different colors, or just using one with shadows on top. Easy and gorgeous!

Looking for some of the best gifts Facade has to offer this Christmas for friends, family, or even yourself? Here are some of our staff picks! Try mixing and matching any or all of these things for what our girls here at facade would consider the PERFECT stocking!

Santa baby, I’ve really been an awful good girl…
You can trim my Christmas tree, with lots of goodies from Facade beauty…
I really do believe in you. Let’s see if you believe in me

A. Rubis Tweezers $40. These swiss tweezers are simply the best. A slant tip for excellent precision. The company also makes a scissor perfect for trimming rogue brow hairs!

B. Tassi $15. Available in an assortment of colors and prints. Used to pull back hair while washing your face or applying makeup. Doesn’t leave “dents” in the hair and doesn’t snag or pinch like clips or bands could.

C. Girlactik Pout Shine “Gorgeous” $18. Available in three other colors, this highly pigmented gloss gives a beautiful shine and has enough color it can be worn without a lipstick underneath.

D. Belvada Mascara $20. A fabulous mascara in a unique container. Remove the lid and use the slide to push the mascara wand out and through the mascara, for an even, clump-free coating on the wand every time!

E. Paul & Joe Kitty Cat Nail File $5. These adorable nail files get the job done.

F. Jessica Cuticle Oil $6. Fabulously nourishing, yet feels very light.

G. Makeup Mini Bag $10. Made out of neoprene (the same material as wet suits for scuba diving), this extremely durable bag can hold and protect your essentials. Also available in  a larger “brush clutch” size for $15.

H. Kabuki Brush $40. This brush is a great multi-tasker. Excellent for powder, bronzer or blush, and fits perfectly in the palm of your hand!

I. Paul & Joe Nail Enamel 019 $14. This nail polish is long-wearing and comes in a variety of colors–but we particularly love this sultry color–perfect even after the holidays!

J. Paul & Joe Nail Enamel 014 $14. This polish has silver glitter in a clear base- perfect for layering over more opaque colors (like the other shade shown here!) when you’re feeling particularly festive.

K. Tube Pencil Sharpener $5. This convenient sharpener holds pencil shavings from eye, lip, and brow pencils so you don’t make a mess! When it’s full, it pulls apart so you can empty the shavings in a waste basket.

L. Facade Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil $22. Our waterproof eyeliner is an absolute MUST for every girl. It’s available in 10 shades and is incredibly long-wearing. Perfect for lining the inner membrane or outside of the eye. We especially recommend gifting colors BARDOT (black) and LORELEI (gold) since they’ll look great with any skin, eye, or hair color.

M. LIPSMART $30. This amazing lip treatment is a balm and plumper in one. It uses an all-natural ingredient that binds water to the skin cell, keeping each cell plump and moist! Essential for quickly approaching cold weather.

Come look around the shop for OTHER gift ideas too! We would be happy to wrap any item(s) for you as gifts in wrapping paper and ribbon, or in a cellphane bag with ribbon.
