More Than Beauty: The Story of TM By Tamara

More Than Beauty: The Story of TM By Tamara

My Journey: How TM By Tamara Began 💅✨

Every great brand begins with a story — a spark, a moment of inspiration, a “what if.”
For me, that moment was born from a love of fashion, a passion for beauty, and a belief that quality should never be compromised.

I’m Tamara Morton, the founder of TM By Tamara — a luxury Australian-made cosmetic label built on elegance, innovation, and integrity. Before starting this journey, I worked across business, design, and sales — both B2B and direct-to-consumer — and I saw first hand how beauty and fashion could inspire confidence and connection. But I also saw how often that beauty came at a cost — with products that looked good on the outside but were filled with toxic ingredients that didn’t align with the standards I believed in.

That’s when I decided to create something different. 💖

What started as a simple vision — to offer refined, high-quality beauty products that blend style with substance — evolved into a mission. I wanted to craft something that not only made people look and feel stunning but also supported their wellbeing and aligned with their values.

My philosophy has always been simple:

Every person deserves to wear quality, feel stunning, and be successful. After-all we are our own best investment.

And that belief became the heart of TM By Tamara.

 

A Passion for Wellness and Balance 🌿🧘♀️

Beyond beauty, I’ve always believed in wellness, balance, and living consciously.
For me, feeling good isn’t just about what you wear — it’s about how you live. Staying active, making healthier choices, and finding time for yourself are all part of a balanced lifestyle that fuels confidence from within.

That philosophy flows through everything I do — and everything TM By Tamara stands for. I wanted to create a brand that reflected that same mindful, balanced approach — where beauty, wellness, and purpose go hand in hand.

The Beginning of a Cleaner, Smarter Polish

When developing our first collection, I was shocked to learn how many traditional nail polishes contain harmful, toxic ingredients. So, instead of accepting “that’s just how it is,” I started researching.

Years of testing, refining, and collaborating with experts led to the creation of something truly special — a 21-free, breathable nail polish, made with 75% naturally derived ingredients from sources like sugarcane, cassava, cotton, and corn.

The result? A silky-smooth, quality polish that’s as kind to your nails as it is to the planet.

Colour with Purpose 🎨💅

At TM By Tamara, every shade has a story.
Working alongside a Qualified Colour Consultant, we’ve curated a collection that celebrates every skin tone, style, and fashion mood — from timeless neutrals to bold trend statements. Our range reflects not only what’s in style now but what will always feel effortlessly chic.

Each colour is chosen to make you feel confident, stylish, and authentically you.

Beauty Without Compromise 🌿

Today, TM By Tamara is more than a nail polish brand — it’s a statement. A celebration of self-care, sophistication, and conscious beauty.

We’re proudly Australian Made and Owned, and every product is crafted with care, luxury, and a touch of conscience.

Because your beauty routine should feel like an indulgence — one that’s better for you and the world around you.

This is TM By Tamara.
This is your indulgence, made better.
