Couldn’t wait to share this with you guys! This is definitely one of my favorite looks of all time, made even more special by the fact that this make-up was created for me by the wonderful Tom Ford Beauty team and I got to wear it to Tom Ford Fall/Winter 2020 show. Love the bold lavender eye paired with softer lip, love the strong eyebrow moment, and adore the radiant lit-from-within complexion Tom Ford is known for!
Always a fan of a bold smoky eye, I fell in love with the Eye Color Quad in Daydream as soon as I saw it. Personally, I love lavender/purple shades because they do such a good job accentuating eye colors. A great alternative to a classic smoky eye look, we lined the inside of the eye with Eye Kohl Intense and completed the look with cat-eye liner in black to add more drama and dimension. Eyebrows make a world of difference, especially when you choose to go with a dramatic look/color on your eyes. A well-defined brow will add a perfect finishing touch but also, help to add a bit if edge and polish to the overall look. We opted for a stronger ‘fashion” brow for this look, so we brushed the brows up, then used Brow Sculptor in Taupe to fill in any sparse areas.
Also, instead of opting for a classic nude pout, we changed thing up a bit and went with a natural looking lip color instead. This color is basically my natural lip color but slightly amped up. To create this look we used Lip Color in Indian Rose (a very soft shade of rosy pink) and added dimension with a coat of Gloss Luxe in Aura.
Tom Ford Beauty is synonymous with radiant, glowing, naturally gorgeous skin and honestly, after trying the new Shade & Illuminate Soft Radiance foundation, that’s exactly how my skin looked. I don’t think I have ever used a beauty product I liked more. Truth is, this was shot a day after I came back from a 24-hour trip to New York. I haven’t slept much, I looked and felt tired, an my skin was definitely not 100%. And yet, this magical product made me look glowing and rested! Another thing I really like about it is the fact that the look is entirely natural! It is a medium to full-coverage foundation, so it does offer quite a bit of coverage, yet it melts into your skin, and looks invisible even in bright day light. Finally, and this was a big selling point for me, it is not just a foundation but rather a treatment in a bottle, for not only is it moisturizing and nourishing, it also helps to calm and protect the skin.
To finish the look we used Shade & Illuminate Highlighter & Shader Duo to accentuate cheekbones, and added a subtle natural-looking glow on cheeks and cupid’s bow with Skin Illuminating Powder Duo. I also absolutely loved the Translucent Finishing Powder since I tend to get oily, but this powder ket everything in place and I was definitely shine free even by the end of the day.
