Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips
Product Info:
Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips bring the play of light and dark, integral to Tom Ford's face philosophy, to color contouring. Two shades (one dark and one light) complement for shaping lips with high pigmentation in a velvet matte finish. Using the dual-ended applicator, featuring a sponge on one end and a lip brush on the other, both shades can be applied to create a subtle to dramatic ombré effect. The powder-gelèe formula features emollient oils and a blend of polymers that provide rich color release and adherence. Each color combination is designed to complement every skin tone.
Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips
Today I will be reviewing Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Lips in Automatic, Impulse and Tantalize. If you haven't seen my previous sneak peek/first impression post with the complete swatches of Tom Ford Spring Collection 2017 check it out here. The packaging of these lip duos are the same size as their blush compact, and it comes with a dual ended brush. There is a total of six shades I purchased three I decided to play it safe and grabbed two nudes and a pop of color. These lip duos are very creamy in texture, and it's highly pigmented. Although these lipsticks have a matte finish, they're not drying on the lips, and it doesn't settle into the lines. I love how lightweight these lipsticks are, and it's so velvety and silky in consistency. I also love how the shades were put together you can create an ombre lips by applying the darker shade then dab the lighter shade in the middle you can actually play with these lip duos and get creative with it.

I've noticed the nude duos are more matte than the bright ones so if you have very dry chapped lips I suggest priming your lips well before applying the lipsticks. I must admit I was skeptical at first cause I don't really like to use a lip palette, but to my surprise, I've been using these non-stop ever since I purchased them. I prefer using the lip brush than the sponge, and I like to use a lip liner with these lip duos I find layering it helps these lipsticks last longer. These had worn for 3-4 hours before it started fading and the bright shade did leave a light stain behind.
Tom Ford Automatic Shade & Illuminate Lips
- Automatic- It's a pale beige nude and a brown nude shade.
Tom Ford Impulse Shade & Illuminate Lips
- Impulse- It's a light pink nude and a dark mauve shade. ( my favorite!)
Tom Ford Tantalize Shade and Illuminate Lips
- Tantalize- It's a peachy nude and a bright, warm coral shade. (love this one too)

Overall
I'm a big fan of Tom Ford lipsticks, and I really like these lip duos the colors are coordinated perfectly, and my favorite ones are Impulse and Tantalize. All though I'm used to the traditional lipstick bullet I don't mind carrying and using these lip palettes, and it's very easy to apply with the mini brush.

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips and Cheeks
Where to purchase: Nordstrom, Beautylish
Top Row: Automatic, Impulse, Tantalize
Bottom Row: Possession, Nikita, Saboteur
Tom Ford launched a new collection featuring six Shade & Illuminate Lips ($60 for .12 oz.) and two cheeks ($80 for .49 oz.). When I first saw the pictures of the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Lips I thought they were eyeshadow duos but once I discovered they're lipstick duos I actually liked the looks of these, and I was very intrigued. I found the Shade & Illuminate Cheeks similar (color wise) to an earlier TF collection which contained two powder blush and highlighter duos Softcore and Stroked. I purchased three out of the six lips duos, and I decided to pass on the cheek duos. Keep reading to find out which shades I've bought and swatches of all six lips and two cheeks Shade and Illuminate duos! Review here

I love how there's an option for everyone here in this collection it will cater to nude lipstick lovers as well as bold and bright lipstick lovers. These lip palettes come with a dual mini brush a sponge applicator and a well-functioning lip brush. I noticed a few different finishes here it's a mix of velvety matte, satin and creamy finish. The texture of these lipsticks are amazing it felt very silky and soft also each, and every one of them are highly pigmented. I love how you can create an ombre effect with these duos if you saw the campaign shot of the model wearing what I believe is Saboteur it looked absolutely stunning!

All though I like Tom Ford cream products I had to pass on these two reason being they're not as pigmented as I expected them to be. I have a hard time working with cream blushes it seems to fade away rather quickly on my oily combination skin. The texture felt very light and creamy, and I can see this giving you a youthful glow, but I'm not sure about the longevity about this one.
For me, I couldn't pass on the lip palettes, and I'm glad I didn't they're really worth looking into. The Cheek duos not so much. As I mentioned before I purchased three shades Automatic, Impulse and Tantalize which I will do a detailed review on shortly Review here. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoyed this quick sneak peek.
