08.Sep.2009 Wanting
Senna Cosmetics was created by Eugenia Weston, an Emmy-nominated A-list makeup artist and color theorist who worked with Helmut Newton and inspired Kevyn Aucoin.
Which is lovely.
But what matters is Senna makes mineral makeup that works. I’ve never see eye shadow with a richer, finer pigment: Senna Matte Eye Color is like powdered silk.
Try Senna’s “Midnight,” fresh for fall: it’s a deep navy bordering on black, and its blue will brighten the whites of your eyes…

“You win or lose, live or die–and the difference is just an eyelash.” So lash extension salon LuxLash quotes General Douglas MacArthur on their dot-com. But go ahead and swap “eyelash” with “an individual eyebrow.” Lately I’m obsessed with Korean soap opera stars’ super full brows, and so when LuxLash’s publicist emailed me about Beverly Hills lash bar LuxLash’s eyebrow extensions, I got curious… |
 |
When I went to check LuxLash’s Beverly Hills lash salon, I discovered I was booked for complementary eyelash extensions. A simultaneous pedicure — just buff, no polish, thank you — and two hours later, I blinked my eyes wide open to the subtlest set of lush lashes. While I floated in a cloud of a chair, covered by a cashmere throw, LuxLash founder and lash snob Suzanne had managed to camouflage my eyelid’s half-inch bald spot with individual lashes, while taking care to protect natural growth. LuxLash is also in Boston. Go now… |
 |
I hate to hate anything by LuxLash, whose passion is only equaled by their expertise, but if I’m wary of any of LuxLash’s services, it’s their arching brows and widening eyes with Botox. They probably do a gorgeous gig — I haven’t tried it — and though I already play with plenty of needles in 90210, Botox makes me nervous, especially in the context of creating not-so-golden arches… |

I confess: in high school I had hyper-arched, chola brows, shorty. Now I’m lusting for super full, Korean soap opera star brows. So how do you get full brows, permanently? You could try a Q-tip of Rogaine, or visit Cees Penning, who began a career as a pre-digital air brusher for glossies, and now works as a permanent make-up artist. He did Bag Snob’s Tina’s brows, and I’m constantly considering tossing away all my brow fillers and giving into Cees… |
 |
For a semi-permanent way to get full brows, try the Brow Extender, in Ash. The Brow Extender uses tiny hair-like powder to get full brows that’ll survive face wash, bubble baths, and pillow play… |

Full brow stencils? Can I get an Angelina stencil for my lip gloss, too, please.. |

EcoTools brushes are green beauty tools fashioned with bamboo handles, recycled aluminum, and animal-free taklon bristles. Earth-friendly is very nice, but so are girls whose mothers recommend them for dates. So I’m more curious how face-friendly this EcoTools brow kit is…
|
 |
EcoTools mailed me an EcoTools blush brush and an EcoTools foundation brush to try. If I wasn’t obsessed with my Shu Uemura brushes, I’d use this EcoTools powder brush on the daily — it’s probably 80% as good as the best in the business, at 10% of the price… |
 |
So why am I hating this EcoTools blush brush? Because it’s also close to as good as my Shu Uemura brush, though EcoTools blush brush only costs a matcha green tea soy latte… |

This Shiseido foundation — or “Makeup Brightening Veil” — is a colorless finish foundation with SPF 24. Check this Shiseido foundation’s reviews — apparently the only thing this Shiseido finishing foundation doesn’t do is make you thinner and richer… |
 |
Shiseido powdery foundation compact isn’t the best — La Prairie powder feels like cream, Guerlain is gorgeous — but “Very Light Ivory” is invisible on me. And if I use it as a base on my lids, a smoky eye lasts past pillow play. My rule of thumb? Try out foundations until you find one that looks natural when you’re naked… |
 |
Shiseido foundation in cream is probably lovely, but creamy makeup has always equaled creases for me. Do you ladies have the same issue… |

AmazingCosmetics is just that: amazing cosmetics. There’s not much sexy marketing or packaging — just simple product that gives good face. On my To Try list? AmazingCosmetics mineral foundation pressed powder and powder set. I love that the AmazingCosmetics compact carries a mini brush — so you dust on a dewy complexion… |
