Senna Cosmetics — Blog — Tina Tom Makeup

I will rarely post selfies on this blog, but I just had to share my latest obsession with you guys: the Face Sculpting Kit from Senna Cosmetics. Let me tell you - ever since I discovered this amazing product, I have definitely stepped up my contour game. My hairstylist will gladly tell you (and believe me, he does remind me every time I sit in his chair) that I have an abnormally large head - and, naturally, a large (and flat) face that goes with it. As a result, I am constantly finding new ways to shape & contour my face with products to give myself the illusion of cheekbones & a higher nose.

The Face Sculpting Kit from Senna is so easy to use that I literally use my fingers to apply & I blend with the brush that is included. It comes at a hefty price of $48 but I can vouch for this product & its value - it is a perfect blend of shadow & highlight and isn't overly warm like other so-called "contour" products out in the market nowadays. It was originally developed for use on Desperate Housewives & is now available to the public. If you're on the fence about trying this product, I say, GO FOR IT!

You guys, my wallet is crying - but I am one happy camper ;-) . I went kind of crazy buying beauty products last week - but in my defense! - most of the products I purchased were to replenish products that had already hit pan and were for my kit for my clients.

Any of my clients will know that I use top quality, professional brands as well as mid to high-end street brands. I put in a lot of time, money, and effort into researching products and obtaining them because I always want to use the best-quality products on my clients. Lately, I've been hearing about some artists in the area who will offer services for a fourth of the price, but use low-quality, sometimes even counterfeit cosmetics. It really irks me that any true makeup artist would do that, and that consumers will actually hire these so-called "makeup-artists" and in a way, condone this type of behavior.

Anyway, away from the negativity and back onto my positivity float : I restocked on some new Clarisonic brushes, my beloved Tarte Smooth Operator finishing powder, and my favorite Tarte blush in "Exposed." I purchased Ben Nye Banana Powder to add to my kit, as well as the Senna Contour Kit (LOVE!) and the Senna Brow Book, which has been a serious lifesaver for my past several gigs. I also wanted to try out the Tweezerman tweezers to see what the hype's about - but really, I was not impressed at all .... For an almost $30 pair of tweezers, I expected much better. I also got Caudelie and First Aid Beauty moisturizers to use for skin prep on my clients.

Hope you have a great week!
