Yes, the three faces are always there.

Harry sees foggy shapes in the Foe-Glass which become sharper, however 
Harry doesn't actually see who it is until the three come in.

DD goes to C!M, McG goes to Harry. Snape comes in, looking at the Foe-
Glass. DD sends both McG and Snape on errends. When they return, we're 
told the three faces are still glaring, although the actual individuals 
were all doing something else.

Snape is recorded as looking at the Foe-Glass the one time. "Snape 
followed him, looking into the Foe-Glass, wehre his own face was still 
visible, glaring into the room."

Much has been made of that one look over the years. I'm not sure what 
it means. But I wonder what would happen if LV decided to get a Foe-
Glass?
