Tom Ford Cheek Color Frantic Pink and Flush Review and Swatches

More than eyeshdows, what really caught my eye from Tom Ford Beauty was their blushes! They have a special brightness that just light up my entire face, doing much more than adding color to the cheeks! I chose 02 Frantic Pink and 03 Flush especially for this quality.

The compact design is the same as the eyeshadow quads', luxurious yet low key.

Then again under full sun. I think this one is more accurate. Frantic Pink is a very light coral pink. Flush is a coral so bright it's almost neon.

 Each blush contains 8g, that's almost twice as much as a Nars blush at 4.8g. Still Tom Ford is priced about 15% higher than Nars in terms of per-gram cost.

Blush compacts also has the raised golden bar look.

Comparing to some coral blushes from Nars and ELF.

Nars Orgasm, Nars Gilda, Tom Ford 03 Flush, ELF Glow.

Nars Orgasm and Gilda seems less bright than Flush. ELF Glow is closer but darker as well. It is rare to see a blush so vibrant and this vibrancy translates to a gorgeous bright color on the cheeks without the extra binder stuff weighing it down!

Tom Ford Frantic Pink is not a candy pink like the rest, it's more of a light salmon pink with stronger luminosity than the rest.
