Packaged in a luxe, refillable gold-tone cushion compact, the complexion-perfecting formula softly highlights to enhance natural features and brighten skin for a natural, soft-focus look. Skin is perfected with a flawless, radiant finish. A blend of phospholipids and Vitamin E mimic the skin’s natural barrier with moisturising and lightweight, breathable protection. Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate Foundation Soft Radiance Cushion Compact plays with light and shadow to create the appearance of perfect skin with enhanced natural features. I am assuming that they are Asia exclusive.īelow is the description I found from the Lane Crawford website: Skirts look best on me if they’re short, but then it’s hard to be really active in them without being self-conscious, without tights underneath.I tried to find the brand’s official description on the Tom Ford website, but there were no cushions anywhere. And mini- or knee-length culottes can be great, but a lot of them are cut too baggy/dowdy. Seven- or nine-inch shorts are OK, but strictly casual. I would love to wear a great pair of white Bermuda shorts with a striped T or a sleeveless linen button-down shirt and white blazer this summer. Bermuda shorts are a great length for me (2-4″ above the knee), but hard to find. Summer bottoms are a real challenge for me - most don’t hit at a good spot on my rather short legs. I need to try those Rockstar jeans, especially if they make some lightweight, cropped (but not ripped/torn) ones for summer. I’m dying to try a couple of the lip duos, though. I dunno… these are pretty, but too expensive for me if they’re not going to at least last all day. I love the one that says, “She Who Dares.” The open back shows off your sports bra, like if you’re wearing a cute one with lots of straps or a bright pop of color. When I went to Old Navy the other day, I had plans to try on their High Waisted Rockstar jeans, but I was thwarted by this cute workout tank! Not to so say that these aren’t ridiculously pretty - they are. If you just want a cream blush that looks natural and really lasts, you might want to peep Kjaer Weis instead. I think these would look amazing layered under other Tom Ford powder blushes for extra dimension, but they’re probably best for die-hard Tom Ford-ies. The closest thing I can compare them to right now is Kjaer Weis Cream Blush, which I also love (it also lasts longer than TF’s, so that’s something to think about). The keys here are that you have to be OK with them being sheer, and you have to really love the look of natural, barely-cheek color. Of course, I also have to say again that they’re sheer, so they never really look like a ton of makeup in the first place. Without extra help, they get to where I can’t see them on my cheeks at all. I think that both of them benefit from a layer of makeup primer worn underneath them, as well as an additional layer of blush and/or highlighter on top, especially if you plan to have a long day, because they otherwise fade over the course of an eight-hour day, at least on my combination dry/oily skin. Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Cheeks in Sublimate ($80) Scintillate is a peach contouring blush with the peachy pink pearl highlighter, and Sublimate is a rosy pink blush with a pinkish beige highlighter. There’s a dewiness to them that makes skin look like it’s been pampered at a pricey spa where they use mysterious French skin care that you can’t pronounce, and serve tiny cucumber sandwiches on expensive China. If you like wearing makeup, but you don’t like to look like you’re wearing a lot of blush on your cheeks, these are fantastic. If, however, you’re cool with them being sheer, and you’re cool with creams that are easy to blend, there’s some good stuff happening here.įirst, they look really, really natural, and I’m all about my cheeks looking natural these days. Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Cheeks in Scintillate (top) and Sublimate (bottom) I hope you’re sitting down now…because they’re $80.Īnd they’re also purposefully sheer…so if you’re all about that #pigmentedlife, you might as well go grab a coffee at Starbucks, and I’ll meet you back here in a few. Through strategically using complementary colors to shade and highlight the cheeks and lips, it creates balance. The collection includes two cream blush duos and six lip duos that are all about shade and illumination, as in highlighting and contouring - playing with lighter shades to catch the light and darker shades for shading. The Tom Ford Spring 2017 visuals are BANANAS!
