Formula Overview

$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce

The Lips & Boys Lip Color formula is not different from the full-sized Lip Color range; they offer a travel-sized version (which is actually cheaper by the ounce: $36.00/0.07 oz. or $514.29/oz. compared to the full-size at $54.00/0.10 oz. or $540.00/oz. The formula is supposed to have an "ultra-creamy texture" and "pure color" with a "balance of luminosity." The range has a fair amount of variation as the finishes differ (matte to metallic), so coverage can be medium to full with some shades applying well and others decently. The wear was anywhere from three hours to over six hours. In general, the formula has a creamy texture that's easy to work with, comfortable to wear, and is lightly to moderately hydrating. They have a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Magnus

Tom Ford Beauty Magnus Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a soft, pearly sheen. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips, as the lipstick was creamy without being too slippery or emollient. The formula was comfortable to wear, hydrating, and stayed on well for four and a half hours on me.

Charles

Tom Ford Beauty Charles Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium coral with warm, orange undertones and a natural sheen with very fine, golden pearl. The texture was lightweight with a creamy texture that glided on without tugging and distributed color evenly across the lips, but there was a smidgen of color that sank into my lip lines over time. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer that wore well for four and a half hours on me.
