August Favourite: TOM FORD




August Favourite: Tom Ford Makeup 


Tom Ford is such a renowned name in the fashion industry. But all luxury makeup enthusiasts’ wishes came true when he launched his makeup line ten years ago in 2011. Since then, he has introduced us lucky ladies to colour palettes like Virgin Orchid, Honeymoon and most recently First Frost for eyes. We can’t ignore his lipstick collection either: Classic formulas in Casablanca, Insatiable, Exotic, Impassioned. My all-time favourite is Discretion. Since then, his collections every season have been unquestionably popular - mostly sold out even before they hit the stores. I have invested in a few key products this Summer. 


This beautiful palette suits all skin tones! I especially love how the colours are prettified neutrals. Tom Ford eyeshadows last long and has taken me up to 12 hours on a normal summer day. The shades on any palette for that matter blend easily and seamlessly. No regrets . It’s worth every dollar. 


TF lipsticks come in different formulas but I am invested in their classic one. It’s silky-smooth and does not bleed. Hydrates and the colour stays on all day. If you by chance have coffee or eat a sandwich, a soft tint will still be on your lips until you can reapply. The Discretion shade I have has lasted me a little over two years with daily application at least twice a day. This new shade I recently got gifted with is Casablanca - soft mauve pink Thats perfect for my skin tone. I really ❤️ this shade too. 



The answer to all my brow challenges: unruly, sometimes sparse (depends on the day 🙄), too plucked off on the ends - you name it. This is my saving grace. I use the one in the Chestnut shade. Remember the rule that your eyebrows need to be a half shade lighter than your hair colour? 







Lipgloss: perfect for warmer days. This one is from their Soleil Collection 2021 and I thinking of getting every product in this collection. Why? One word. Gold. Their lipglosses are not sticky - I have tried a shade from their first collection of lipglosses - Love Bruise.
