Tom Ford Lipstick


When I first heard about Tom Ford's lipstick line I'll admit I was not that excited, I didn't really give it a second thought as I knew that I would never be able to afford to spend £35 on a lipstick, I find it hard enough handing over £15 for my beloved MAC lipstick, I also felt that I had satisfied my lipstick cravings (I have far too many lipsticks and lip products they are my addiction).

However recently when my mum who wears absolutely no makeup and normally HATES the feeling of lipstick on her lips started talking about purchasing a Tom Ford lipstick curiosity really got the better of me. I didn't know much about the products or the brand but I when mum decided to go to Harrords and try out one out I decided I would too and chose the colour Flamingo Pink. Mum and I decided the lipstick had to be something really special to justify £35, for me the real test was the colour, how well it applied and how it felt on the lips.


I am happy to say (although my mum’s wallet really isn't) that the Tom Ford lipstick in Flamingo Pink passed all mum and my tests with flying colours. The shade is one of those rare finds that once applied lights up my face, which is absolutely incredible (people are constantly telling me I’m so pale I look ill, no sorry I’m just naturally pale). Even if I am wearing no other makeup, one application of Flamingo Pink makes my skin look warmer and my eyes brighter. It's magic.

Even though it is a really vivid shade, I didn't feel the need to apply lip liner. It feels nice and creamy on the lips. However, it isn't creamy in the sense that it slides around as with some other brands, it stays in place on the lips and feels really comfortable.

Both my mum and I think they are worth their price. For me, they far surpass any of my other lipstick and they are the only ones that truly feel comfortable on my lips, wearing these you honestly forget that you’re even wearing anything on your lips.

Although I absolutely LOVE  the Tom Ford lipsticks, I still really can’t afford to spend £35 on  lipstick very often but fortunately for me my birthday is coming up and a few other shades have been added to my birthday wish list, hopefully I will be lucky enough to receive some.

Tom Ford Lipsticks are available for £35 each at Selfridges and Harrods, both online and in store.


Have you been lucky enough to try a Tom Ford lipstick, what’s your go to shade?
