Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips for Spring 2017
Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips ($60) bring me back to some of my first experienced with makeup. Help a sister out to jog her memory here, remember Revlon or was it Covergirl had powder lipsticks? They were duos if I remember right and each compact had a powder lipstick and a balm that would set the lipstick. I’m thinking it was Revlon or maybe Covergirl that made them. This had to be the mid-90s or so!
Earlier last year, Milk Makeup released their powder Lip Pigments and I think it was the first time in a very long time that powder lipstick actually made a come back. Sadly, the world is lacking in the powder lipstick department.
Until now anyway because Tom Ford has a few shades of their new Shade & Illuminate Lips Palettes up for grabs for Spring 2017 and just looking at them brings back so many feel good makeup memories.
The palettes include a light and a dark shade selection that helps in shaping and contouring lips. Hell, I can’t contour my face never mind my lips but I’m tempted by these highly pigmented, matte finish powder none the less. You can use both shades to create either a subtle or dramatic ombre or you can be as n00b-ish as I am and just use the colors individually. The formula is a hybrid powder-gelee (sounds like Estee Lauder Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelee) that contains emoillet oils and a blend of polymers that allow the powder to adhere comfortably to lips.
There are six duos available from nudes to gorgeous hues of berry and red.
