Last week I was invited to my local Neiman Marcus to check out the exclusive new Tom Ford Beauty shop which was one of the most gorgeous makeup counters I’ve ever seen before. I was able to learn all about the new makeup collection (which Mr. Ford himself has been working on developing for years) and then I was able to get dolled up with the fab products from the line, including the new Fall colors, AND was even sent home with some goodies. I was in makeup heaven!
I believe that beauty comes from expressing your personality. Cosmetics should help you amplify your individuality and showcase something unique about yourself and your style. – Tom Ford
While the collection is pricey, you can definitely see how much time and effort was spent into developing the collection. From the packaging (which left me smitten) to the design of the products, you can see how much was put into the design of such products. Tom is even the mastermind behind some of the names of the colors (hint: the naught names were probably his idea…love). It is a full makeup line that includes face, lips, eyes, nails, and brushes, which means there are way too many products for me to go into debt over.
Face: The first item that caught my attention was the Illuminating Protective Primer. This primer increases cellular vitality, helps protect the skin while enhancing texture, toning and visibly brightening the skin. It not only primed my skin to enhance and prolong my makeup but it offered such a gorgeous illuminating glow. Another one of my favorite face products that I tried out was the Traceless Foundation Stick. This foundation stick helps create a flawless and smooth finish. You can build the coverage to deliver sheer, medium, or full coverage and can also be used as a concealer to diminish imperfections. I then discovered the wonders of the Illuminating Highlight Pen, which was no surprise that I would be a fan of as I’ve blogged about highlighting pens in the past. Similar to the YSL Touche Eclat and Givenchy Mister Light pens, this helps you enhance, contour, or diminish your features to create the appearance of symmetry. What I love about this highlight erpen is it comes in 8 shades: four that really truly illuminate and balance your skin and four that act as skin-priming concealers. All give off an amazing finish that I couldn’t get enough of! To help polish off the face, I loved the Cheek Color Blush in the best-selling color Wicked, gorg!
Lips: I was already a huge fan of the lipsticks as I have previously expressed my love of the unique color Violet Fatale Lip Color and how rich of a color it is and how smooth of a finish it gives. Seriously, nothing not to love about these lipsticks! Well, as soon as my uber-talented makeup artist applied the Fall color Bruised Plum, I was hooked. Such a gorgeous shade and it screamed Fall, which I of course loved! These lipsticks are a must try!
Eyes: There are 10 different eye shadow quads which are all beautiful and make it so easy to achieve the perfect eye look! I also happened to really like the Eye Primer Duo. This includes a unique powder and cream primer that enhances the performer of the eye shadow by preventing creasing and extending wear of up to 15 hours! But what had me seriously flipping my lid was the Brow Sculptor. I beyond love this product and love how much Tom Ford thinks eyebrows are one of the most important elements of the face and went on to create the ultimate brow product! It features a unique calligraphy tip which allows a tailor-made stroke, from thin to wide. Flip it over and the opposite-end includes a grooming brush, then twist the cap counterclockwise to reveal the sharpener. After applying to my brows it truly did transform my face. Move over Lily Collins!
So I clearly fell in love with everything about this collection and while the prices are high and you may not want to go out and get every piece, I highly recommend you testing some out and treating yourself to whatever you fall in love with (which I’m telling you, will definitely happen!) as these products really are luxe!
All together now, “I rock Tom Ford”…thanks HOVA for the background music while I get ready!
