We work so hard to get our kids on the right track from the start. Breastfeeding, or choosing the BEST formula that we can find. Making our own baby food, buying organic, BPA Free products and so on. As a society we have even learned to treat ourselves (yes the adults) better. One thing that is finally starting to emerge is all natural/organic makeup. IN the past our makeup has been made of, well, let’s not get into that. Think about it, what’s in your nail polish??
Denise at Facewear uses all natural/organic makeup in her applications. She even has an all-natural manicure that she does. What a great little date for you and your little princess. Some other services that I love that she does? She does makeup lessons…. No need for your daughter to learn on her own that less is more, or how to apply eye liner Denise can show her.
The most popular services of course are her applications which she does for so many different occasions, bridal, prom (senior and junior), homecomings, photo sessions, sweet sixteens, you name it. She also has tons of specials that she runs so you will want to check back with us, and on her website or Facebook page to keep current.
I barely ever wear makeup. I know I should ( I am not getting any younger) but it takes so much time, and I would need some time in the bathroom by myself to accomplish it. Up until two years ago I was still using the makeup I had purchased for my wedding (in 2004). I finally purchased new stuff two years ago when I was attending a wedding. Yes, I am aware that 2 years old is also old, but I really only wear it to special occasions. One thing that keeps me from applying often is that I worry for my skin. As a teen I had terrible acne. I live in fear that what I use will clog my pores and I will look like that again.
I am even more nervous about having someone else do my makeup. I don’t like looking “made-up”. When I apply my own, I put it on, and then wipe a good amount of it off (something my husband found very interesting when we first started dating). The fact that I was willing to have someone apply it really means that I trust Denise. So we made a date, for our next website review of a photographer, Denise would do my make-up so that I had some pictures of the family and I would have some nice makeup done for it (let’s face it moms, when we plan these photos, we still don’t get a whole lot of time to make ourselves pretty for them, it’s more about what everyone is wearing, your kids hair etc.). This time it’s a little about me too. Which is important. We want these memories to be special, how often do most people have pictures done (I’m the exception because I am obsessed)?
As nervous as I was I was put completely at ease the moment I was in Denise’s chair. She is warm and inviting, and wants your opinion. She isn’t just going to “cake” on some make-up (thank God) and when I repeated for the third time that I don’t usually wear make-up and wanted to look natural, she said,” no problem and if you get uncomfortable, we can scale it back.” The air brushing was lite and relaxing, the whole process completely painless and when I opened my eyes? I felt like a supermodel. I was truly amazed with the outcome. I look like me, just a better version. Which was the goal.

As adamant as I am about taking family photos and displaying them (and if you follow me you know I am. It’s important that you take the opportunity to make yourself feel happy and pretty. Although as a woman I am still very critical of myself (especially since I know that all of you will see the pictures), I am not the least bit worried about how my face looks. I trust Denise to do my makeup any time. The true testament? I have recommended her to numerous friends and family, have already planned to purchase some gift certificates for family for the holidays (she has these amazing face firming packages), and added her to my mental list of professionals that I would use if I was planning my wedding over again (come on you all have one).
You will have to wait to see the family photos until I post my review of Stefanie Murphy Media Later this month, but here are the pictures of my face from the session before the family pictures were taken. See for yourself, I actually felt beautiful, and I think my face reflects that.
Modeling in front of the Facewear sign. It was nice to take some time for me, and feel pretty for a change.
