Madison had her high school senior portraits taken by Michael Carr at Michael Carr Photography. She is a natural beauty with a lot of spunk. Although Madison certainly doesn’t require a lot of makeup to look beautiful, she wanted to accentuate her eyes for a fun, playful look. After a full consultation, we create a look that best exemplifies each girl’s personality.

Every last detail is captured in a portrait, so makeup applications for this purpose (a “photo face” as we call them), are scheduled for 60 to 75 minutes to ensure a flawless finish. This service is $100 when scheduled with a staff artists Kate or Dayna or $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.

To schedule, please call us at 713-552-1545.

Also, if you have a graduating SENIOR this year, consider booking for the day of their commencement ceremonies–they will have DOZENS of photos taken of them that day, and we promise to help them look stunning in them all!

AND if you have a JUNIOR becoming a SENIOR! Consider booking a photo face application for their SENIOR PORTRAITS this summer!

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.

Unfortunately, many New Years’ resolutions force us to focus on our negative attributes. Instead, try focusing on something positive! Instead of a promise of deprivation, what about a promise to pamper yourself a little bit?

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.

For pricing please visit our website and to schedule an appointment please call 713-552-1545.

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!

We often have the privilege of working with Michael Carr Photography and the results of our collaborative efforts are never less than STUNNING. Their recent session with one of our gorgeous clients, Susan Vance, is certainly no exception!

Susan’s makeup was done earlier in the day by Facade owner, Corinne Williams.

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 to 75 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.

To schedule, please call us at 713-552-1545.

When two artists have the opportunity to collaborate on a common vision–the finished product can be breathtaking. We were thrilled when top Houston photographer Lisa Jane passed along this copy of Katie’s senior portrait.

Katie has had her makeup done at Facade by senior staff artist Kate Block for this senior portrait as well as her senior prom, and commencement ceremony. With all of the social engagements and stress senior year brings, at least looking flawless was something Katie didn’t have to worry about!

Lisa’s lens and Kate’s brush-strokes created an image that truly exudes Katie’s sweet and soulful personality.

A “party face” application (i.e. for prom and/or commencement ceremony) takes 30-45 minutes and is $65 with staff artists Kate or Dayna, or $75 with the owner–Corinne.

Every last detail is captured in a portrait, so makeup applications for this purpose (a “photo face” as we call them), are scheduled for 60 to 75 minutes to ensure a flawless finish. This service is $100 when scheduled with a staff artist or $125 when scheduled with Corinne.

False lashes, if desired for either of these types of service, are $25 extra. We recommend having hair styled or placed in rollers prior to your makeup appointment.

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.
