Tom Ford Lip Color is the starting point for Tom Ford Beauty, I finally got around to testing a few and here are some pictures, swatches and my thoughts on the product.
The lipstick design is luxurious and elegant with black panels encased by golden tops and sides.

Outer packaging is the same as other Tom Ford beauty products, embossed brown paper box with golden letters. Note the amount of product is
3 gram for each lipstick. That is 10-20% less than most brands' lipsticks (except the tall slender ones which always have significantly less). Although Tom Ford eyeshadows and blushes are also priced high but they give you almost twice as much products as many other brands, except lipsticks, where the amount is actually less than other brands, and lipsticks wear out much faster too.

It's the only one here with noticeable shimmers but once on the lips the shimmers disappear, just a creamy color.

Made in Belgium. The bottom sticker has no information on the exact amount like most lipsticks do. Perhaps hoping I already threw away the packaging and don't remember how much is included. -_-

TF 04 Indian Rose lip swatch. It's moisturizing and doesn't show lip lines. The smell is delicious too, like a vanilla cream cake, I like the scent so much I almost bit the bullet off, XD .

Tom Ford lipsticks are indeed full coverage, all my freckles are covered and so is my real lip color. If you have very pigmented lips and find most lipsticks do not provide enough color/coverage, Tom Ford is a good brand to try.

Next one up is 07 Pink Dusk. This is a very popular choice and I can see why. It's a cute beige pink that lights up the face and makes one look younger! Very pretty on fair to light skintones.

TF 07 Pink Dusk lip swatches. This one tends to show lip lines after awhile but just press your lips together once and they disappear immediately.

07 Pink Dusk has a brightness to it that's almost like fluorescence. A lot of light colored lipsticks with this fluorescent quality look sickly on me but not this one, it hit a good balance between brightening effects and naturalness.

I saved the best for last! TF 15 Wild Ginger is the most shockingly vibrant orangey red I've ever seen in a lipstick! And applies so smoothly and evenly!

Same delicious scent too :)

TF 15 Wild Ginger lip swatch. It looks even more pigmented in person. Wild Ginger also has that fluorescent quality that lights up the face when applied. Unlike most pigmented reds that tend to darken my lips and give me a nearly vampy look, this one brightens them and makes my lips look fuller! I love it!

See how smoothly and evenly it covers, unlike Pink Dusk? I didn't even use a lip brush, just applied it directly with the tip of the bullet. Lasting power is great too, no running at the borders (I didn't apply lip pencil either).

Looking at all three together. Taken with flash and the colors are quite accurate.

Swatched on my arm. Indian Rose and Pink Dusk look very similar here but they're very different on the lips. Pink Dusk applies much lighter and the effect is younger looking than Indian Rose.

Comparing to some similar colors in my stash, Yves Rocher 2012 New Luminelle Lipstick has similarly moisturizing effects and longevity but achieves only about 70% the coverage of Tom Ford Lip Colors which is more than decent for a product of its class. Sephora Lip Attitude applies more butterily than Tom Ford's but it's coverage is on the natural side. In terms of shades, YR 12 Soft Pink is quite similar to TF 07 Pink Dusk but it's a little lighter, doesn't show lip lines as much and without the fluorescent brightening effect. YR's reds, 22 Coral and 31 Red Apple, are not nearly as vibrant or pigmented as TF Wild Ginger although they do apply smoothly and evenly without bleeding.

What I liked:
1. Excellent pigmentation and full coverage effects that give me a very polished look.
2. Some shades (07 Pink Dusk, 15 Wild Ginger) have a fluorescent quality to it that's very flattering on the face. (Tom Ford Cheekk Color 03 Flush also has this quality.)
3. Very moisturizing. I can apply it directly on my lips without lip balm underneath and my lips feel great!
4. Gourmet scent that reminds me of vanilla cream cake!
What I didn't like:
1. Some shades (07 Pink Dusk) tend to show lip lines. I have to remember to press my lips together once in a while to keep them fresh looking.
2. At 3 grams, the amount of product in each lipstick is rather small comparing to other brands.
nice lipticks
ReplyDeleteThanks your share. 20 inch hair extensions provide you a long hair appearance that you want. Short hair transforms into luxurious, below-the-shoulder-length hair. Long hair becomes thick and full. In a word, 20 inch hair extensions can change your look dramatically. Clip in hair extensions we provided have 24 colors to choose and they are easy to manage and have a long life if you maintain them well.
