For some reason I cannot find many reviews of this online however
when I saw it on MissHanaG’s Youtube channel I was sold. Being the pasty pale
being I am I’m always searching for the fool proof contour that won’t leave me
looking like I have go faster stripes down my face. I’ve hit the jackpot with
this!
The packaging is everything you would expect for a product
that comes with a £55 price tag. From the super soft pouch to the heavy, cool
to the touch compact it feels and looks luxurious. The little details like the
Tom Ford logo on the mirror just make it feel like no detail has been missed.
You get 14g of product in total. I have Intensity 1, there is a darker
Intensity 2 available.
The contour shade is a rich milk chocolate brown. It looks
frighteningly pigmented in the swatch but it just blends itself into the skin
seamlessly. I apply it over foundation but before I powder, if you are really wary
of contouring you could even apply it under a sheer foundation. I find the Real
Techniques Contour brush from the Core Collection is the perfect brush to apply
this with. This does benefit from being set with a powder otherwise I notice a
slight bit of slip.
There is a small fly in this otherwise luxury ointment. I
just haven’t found myself using the highlight cream as much as I thought I
would. It has an incredibly glossy finish with just a hint of shimmer
in it. It gives an editorial style wet look to the skin. Again this cream
blends effortlessly and I certainly don’t have anything else that comes close
to this effect. The thing is I do need to powder my foundation and once you
powder over this it just isn’t the same. The high shine finish isn’t
brilliantly flattering on my enlarged pores either.
I do think the highlighter has its place and will probably
be a good bet for those with drier skin who prefer a dewy finish. I’m still
thrilled to have the palette, the contour shade it worth every penny to me. I’m
curious as to why there are so few reviews of this out there though. Have you
tried anything from the Tom Ford range? Thoughts? x
*Bought by me*
The only thing I have from TF is the lipstick and I'm in love because it's so creamy on the lips. Best thing ever - my hubby bought me a TF lippy as a nice little anniversary present so now I have two!
ReplyDeleteThose lipsticks just look amazing. Excellent choice from your hubby! You must have him well trained ;-) x
Deletesuch a beautiful packaging!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely isn't it :-) x
DeleteAccck, I want this! It looks perfect. I'm hoping I can get my hands on it soon!
ReplyDeleteI did try stuff from Tom Ford. I have this in Intensity 2 as was told by the mua that that no 1 was more yellow toned and no 2 was more cool toned. Have cool toned pale Irish skin but have black hair and brown eyes so the no 2 was the one for me. Love it and got the Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate brush that goes with it and darn that his stuff is so pricey. The highlighter gets mucky as hell very quickly. Wonderful product though. I agree there are so few reviews and yours is great. glad you love it too !
