![]() Foundation – Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Foundation in Natural 6.24 Honeyed Coral is a berry plum with gold shimmer.23 Bare Assed is a shimmery cool rose-plum with gold shimmer.22 Sunrise Pink is a pretty pink rose (my favorite!).21 In the Buff is a pale sparkling champagne gold.I find they work best layered over a pencil or lipstick. They feel really comfortable and hydrating. These run on the sheer side so they’ll add a soft wash of color. Last I have swatches of the four new Gloss Luxe Moisturizing Lip Glosses ($58 each). Both are creams and have smooth full coverage. Pink Charade is a neutral cool toned pink and Neutral Party is a medium neutral pink brown shade. I noticed a few new shades of Lip Color ($58) and decided to order 2 of them in Pink Charade and Neutral Party and love them both. 05 Sundrunk has a pink beige matte and a soft rose pearl.04 Cherry Blaze has a soft pink + peachy coral with a slight shimmer.03 Peach Poison has a matte peach + deeper brown with some gold shimmer.02 Explicit Flush has a beige peach shimmer + coral matte.I swatched these with a heavy hand on the arm, but you’ll see in the face beauty looks below they look quite natural. These pull more on the matte side but have the same beautiful buildable soft texture. If you remember the original Tom Ford blushes they had a subtle micro pearl with a subtle sheen. So if you love non-shimmer blushes these will be perfect for you! Each duo has one matte and one shimmer shade but I found the shimmer to be very subtle (almost barely there). These have a silky smooth texture with sheer to medium coverage. There are currently four shades available at Nordstrom. Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Blush ($90) is a new formula of blush. If you’re similar to my skin tone and prefer a lighter shade for more brightening I’d recommend going lighter to the 2W0 Beige or 2N0 Creme. Swatched below compared to a few other favorites in the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, Cle de Peau Concealer and Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion for color reference. There wasn’t any oxidizing or darkening so the color works perfect for me. With this formula I feel 3W0 Latte is a great match for me. I prefer concealer to be slightly lighter than my skintone for brightening but try to keep it as close a match as possible. It has some skincare elements infused to add a glow and smoothing effect. I’ve found it has phenomenal coverage for under the eye and is crease-proof. It’s quite the splurge but I really like the super creamy opaque formula. Tom Ford launched a new concealer called the Shade and Illuminate Concealer ($90, currently exclusive to Nordstrom) and I ordered a couple shades in 3W0 Latte and 3W1 Golden. I’ve been a long-time fan of Tom Ford foundations and one of the best splurges I’ve made is the Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation (I wear either 5.7 Dune or 6 Natural). I’ve been putting the new Concealer and Blush Duos to the test and have a closer look today. Although it’s on the more expensive end, you are paying for good quality, and good quality it is.I have a beauty haul roundup with some new launches from Nordstrom! Tom Ford Beauty recently launched some new products in the Shade and Illuminate lineup and new lip colors. I went for the darkest duo Tanlight and that complimented my dark skin and warm undertones impeccably well. Be sure to break through that initial coating on the highlighter, the pigment will poke through when you do. Instead of the ashy and patchy glitter ball effect I expect from powder highlighters, I just got a gentle glaze. I dotted it in the inner corner of my eyes, the bridge and the tip of my nose, my upper lip, and the high points of my cheekbones. Not glittery, just a blinding glowy finish. ![]() ![]() On one swatch you get immense colour payoff and it left me looking like a gorgeous cluster of clean-cut diamonds. Tom Ford is one of those luxury brands that really understands pigment and I expected nothing less from this palette. ![]() Let’s start with the packaging, the compact comes with a handy mirror, and the embossing makes the highlighters look easy on the eye and feel dead glamorous. I heard amazing things about these Shade & Illuminate palettes so I gave it a fair go. I love highlighter but I usually go for a liquid one as I’m a sucker for that dewy finish. ![]()
