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! ;-)]

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!)

“Photo Face” Makeup — Corporate Headshots

Although it is common for us to do makeup for weddings and bridal portraits–that’s not the only makeup we know how to do here at Facade.

Corporate headshots or other professional portraits are an increasingly common marketing tool. It’s critical for your business that you are portrayed in the correct manner as these photos become an important visual representation of you to your client on business cards, websites, and other marekting materials. It’s a great way to establish a sense of trust and rapport with potential clients before ever having met them.

THIS, however, is why it’s incredibly important that not only do you have an appropriate, professional look in your photograph–but also that you look like YOURSELF on your best day– not over-the-top or glamorous. It’s crucial that when meeting new clients you don’t look like someone else completely from the photo. But that being said, doing your own makeup as you normally would isn’t always the best idea. The camera lens tends to read light much differently than the human eye. This is why many times when you think you have on “enough” or even “too much” makeup in person, you may look washed out in photos.

We are skilled at accentuating your best features, concealing minor imperfections, and creating a polished yet natural look. Because every last detail is captured in head shots/portraits, makeup applications for this purpose (a “photo face” as we call them) are scheduled for 60 minutes to ensure a flawless application and finish.

A photo face is $100 when scheduled with staff artists Kate or Dayna, and is $125 when scheduled with the owner–Corinne. False lashes, if desired, are $25 extra. We recommend having hair styled or placed in rollers prior to your makeup appointment.

Please call 713.552.1545 to schedule your appointment.

“Photo Face” Makeup — Bridal Portraits

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.

Put an END to smudgy eyeliner!

One of the FIRST pieces of advice you’ve probably already heard is go WATERPROOF! The natural moisture of your eyes, combined with Houston’s humidity, and possibly tears- waterproof is the only way your liner can last the day.

Of course, we recommend our very own FACADE WATEPROOF EYE PENCILS which are available in 10 shades. For lining the inside (or membrane) of the eye we particularly recommend Bardot (Black) or Lido (Dark Blue). $22 each. If you prefer a liquid liner to a pencil, we’ve recently become smitten with Diego Dalla Palma’s liquid version which is available in both brown and black, $30.

Many of you have used our liners before and STILL may have a problem with smudging. So HERE are some great trouble-shooting tips:

If it’s not WATER-soluble (i.e. water PROOF), it’s likely OIL-soluble–meaning anything with oils in it will cut right through it. So if you use an oil-based concealer around your eyes or a rich eye cream, they may be breaking down the eyeliner. You have options: For eye creams- try switching to something lighter and GEL-based for the day, and reserve your really rich eye creams for night (We like Darphin Anti-Fatigue Smoothing Eye Gel, $38; Natura Bisse Eye Recovery Balm, $95; and Natura Bisse Stimul-Eye Gel, $65). You can also try changing the formula of concealer you use.

Also try dusting a little bit of a translucent POWDER with a small fluffy brush under your eyes when you’re completely finished with your makeup. This creates a barrier so the oils in other makeup don’t mix with the eyeliner. [We like our FACADE pressed powder in NILLA CREME ($42.50 new or $30 for a refill) it Cosmetics BYE BYE PORES, $24; or Diego Dalla Palma Rice Powder, $52]

STILL getting smudgy?

Consider this: maybe your LINER isn’t the culprit–the problem COULD be mascara!

We don’t always recommend wearing waterproof EVERY day because it can be drying to your lashes—HOWEVER, if you coat them first with a mascara primer like the one by REVITALASH, $24, it may be moisturized enough to handle waterproof every day. We LOVE Diego Dalla Palma Semipermanente mascara, $36—it’s not going ANYWHERE until you take it off!

In addition, we recommend always using a waterproof mascara on bottom lashes (if you use mascara on the bottom lashes at all!) because the bottom is where you’re likely to smudge- especially if your eyes water, or you wipe at them frequently. We recommend Maybelline Lash Discovery in waterproof for this. The itty bitty brush allows for precision–and you don’t need volumizing/lengthening for these lashes–just color. This gives you exactly that!

We’ve previously talked about how to line the membrane of your eye. But Most women also like to add a little bit of eyeliner on upper eyelid–on the area we call the upper lashbed. We have 8 different basic waterproof eyeliner colors (Bardot-black, Bluebonnet-periwinkle, Bombshell- soft taupe, Delilah-olive, Lido-dark blue/green, Minx- chocolate brown, Siren- soft green, and Voodoo-raisin) plus 2 other waterproof eyeliner colors (Lorelei-gold and Dorado-bronze) that are great for blending the others.

Watch this video by Facade owner, Corinne Williams, for easy tips to apply your eyeliner flawlessly every time.

To get the look in the video, try Facade waterproof eyeliner pencils in Delilah followed by Lorelei.

A Unique Gift for your Sweetheart…
