Tom Ford Ansel, Alex, Rocco, Austin, Kingston Lips & Boys Lip Colors

Tom Ford Ansel Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a brightened, light-medium peony pink with warm undertones and gold shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly textured consistency from the amount of shimmer in it. The color went on evenly and smoothly, but the consistency is thinner so I felt like the shimmer emphasized lip lines to a small degree. As a note, I really think this might be Quiver from the Lip Color Shine range, just an opaque, less glossy version (the colors are nearly identical to me). Tom Ford Beauty Quiver (P, $48.00) is lighter, less pigmented, cooler (95% similar). Too Faced Metallic Peony (P, $21.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar).

Tom Ford Alex Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and very fine fuchsia pearl. It had almost opaque coverage, but there was some translucency there that allowed the lip color to come through slightly. The texture was smooth and lightly creamy, so application was easy. The color lasted for six hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. This was a very dupable shade, in my opinion! Estee Lauder Dominant (P, $30.00) is less shimmery, lighter, brighter (95% similar). MAC Flowerscope (LE, $17.00) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar). Bobbi Brown Raspberry Pink (P, $35.00) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar).

Tom Ford Rocco Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a brighter, medium rose-shimmered fuchsia pink with cooler undertones and a metallic sheen. It was sligthly thicker in consistency, which made it feel creamier and apply with more opaque coverage for me. The color wore well for five and a half hours with a little bit of shimmer settling into lip lines after three hours of wear. It was neither drying nor hydrating.

Tom Ford Austin Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light-medium, rosy pink with warm undertones and fine pearl shimmer. It had nearly opaque color payoff with a lightly creamy texture. I wish it smoothed out a little more on the lips, as it seemed to emphasize the texture of the lips more than other shades. The color lasted for four hours on me and was lightly hydrating.

Tom Ford Kingston Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, bold fuchsia pink with fine, cool-toned fuchsia pearl.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Tom Ford Lips & Boys Lip Colors ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) are “clutch-sized” lipsticks; it uses the same formula as the full-sized Lip Colors (which retail for $52 for 0.10 oz.), but the packaging feels the same, just smaller. Tom Ford’s lipstick formula is supposed to be hydrating, pigmented, and have a more luminous finish (there is also a specifically Matte formula available that is much flatter in finish). This year’s launch of Lips & Boys features 25 new shades that are part of the new “metallic” finish, and then the return of 25 shades from last year. In general, the formula is semi-opaque to opaque with a lightly creamy consistency that doesn’t slide around a lot but doesn’t cling to the lips. I get anywhere from three to six hours of wear out of them, and most shades are lightly hydrating over time. The formula is vanilla-scented with no discernible taste.
