Review: Senna Brow Book

Brow expert and Senna founder, Eugenia Weston, designed this super skinny, refillable magnetic palette as the ultimate pro tool to master perfect brows on everyone. 

I’m ashamed to admit it, but I neglected my eyebrows for years. And I really do mean years. I didn’t even get them shaped til I was like 20. That’s blasphemy! The only reason that I think I managed to get away with it for so long, is because my eyebrows are so sparse.

These days, I’m happy to tell you that I take much better care of them. Not only do I regularly pluck them, but I also fill them in religiously. When I realised how good they look when I maintain them, I never looked back!

I swear by my Senna Brow Book when it comes to filling in my brows. It has 9 colours in the palette, which makes finding your perfect match incredibly easy. It’s also great for someone like me who occasionally does freelancing, because there literally is a colour to suit everyone.

Left to right, top to bottom: Ash, Auburn, Platinum, Ebony, Taupe, Flaxen, Noir, Espresso, Brunette

As well as the actual brow colours, it also includes Browlite – which is a soft matte brow highlighter, and a Brow Pomade – which adds texture and fullness.

The colour I use is Brunette, and it is perrrfect. It looks so natural, that people don’t even realise that I’ve basically had to draw my eyebrows on. Hahaha. The pigmentation is great, which means you don’t have to spend ages building up the colour. 

The Browlite highlighter is alright (nothing too special!) and the Brow Pomade isn’t nearly as good as the Smashbox Brow Tech wax, so I rarely ever use it. 

Overall, I think this palette is great and would recommend it to anyone who has a hard time finding a good match for their brows, and it is especially awesome for makeup artists. I bought mine from Camera ReadyCosmetics, but you can also find it on the Senna website.

M.A.C Face and Body Foundation

As a makeup artist, I am always on the look out for a foundation that will give my clients a flawless finish. I have definitely found this in M.A.C's Face And Body Foundation. I use this on myself as well as a lot of my clients (I'm still re-stocking my kit so need to get more colours) and I get a gorgeous result everytime.

Face And Body Foundation is a water-based, water-resistant foundation that comes in a wide range of colours and is suitable for any skin type. It goes on sheer at first, but you can keep building it up until you reach the coverage you desire! And since its for the body too, if you need to even out the skin tone on your chest, or anywhere else, this is perfect.

Now for $75.00 NZD, this may seem a little pricy. But with this product a little goes a long way! And it comes in a huge 120ml bottle, so think of this as an investment!
