Tom Ford Beauty Discussion

I got my Jack this morning! The color is really nice although the weather is terrible so I have pictures but they may not be the most color accurate. And I echo what other people have said, these are TINY. It doesn't look as bad in size comparison pictures but when I was holding it it made me feel like I had the hands of a giant. I don't know that I will be purchasing anymore but we'll see what happens after I actually try out the lipstick, although that might take a few days since it hasn't stopped raining all week and I want to get better pictures first.

Yayy!! Finally Jack!!!!
I know they are plenty of reasons why small lippie is a good thing but personally I just cant get over how mini it actually is lol!!

Happy Birthday, @Vineetha!

I know we keep saying these are tiny, but are they just smaller than TF full size or are they smaller than all lipsticks we own?

All the lipsticks we own lol
Even the TF full size is smaller than Nars Audacious

Sitting here waiting for the Fedex guy to deliver the last of my boys! I want to do a bunch of nice swatches and comparisons to some others, too... but it's so gloomy outside I don't think the natural lighting would be too accurate. Booooo winter!

Top: Wes
Middle: NARS Bette
Bottom: Pavlos

These are all pretty different. I'm more likely to keep Pavlos than Wes. I like getting a neutral bold brown without too much purple. But it's a little more sheer than I'd prefer. (I'm NC10 with cloudy daylight.)

Thank you for these comparison swatches! We're very close in skin tone. I don't own Nars Bette... but this swatch makes me want to order it right away, haha!

Same. Luca, Matthew and Olivier arrived today but it is so overcast that photography is hopeless. It's so dark out I'm not even sure what color they are!

Do you have any first impressions? I'm really intrigued by Oliver and Luca, but at 7 minis.. I really should stop now. Haha. Those were a little riskier picks for me, so I decided it was best to skip them. I'm in the living room, studying for finals, and I get excited every time I hear a loud car go by-- hoping it's Fedex!

I hope everything is alright with him, he has *never* been this late! Must be a lot of BF/CM and holiday deliveries!

Ok I just tried again to take pictures for you. Massive fail. And I will warn you my descriptions of the colors may shift whenever/if-ever the sun decides to come out again LOL. But my first impressions of all 3 are good. Olivier is such a beautiful feminine lilac/lavender pink. I think it's softer and less white-looking than the promo image. Probably because it's pearlized it's photographing a bit whiter (I'm going off the promo images here http://www.beautyscene.nl/makeupnieuws/157998/tom-ford-lips-boys-nieuwe-lipsticks/) Luca is so interesting - I think the color is true to the promo but again it doesn't look as white/pearlized. It's absolutely a blend of pink and peach but it's a bright peach. In some lighting earlier it almost looked a little like a light candy peach/orange mixed with pink if that makes any sense. It looks like it would be a great spring shade. Vibrant but not obnoxious. And Matthew is more of a salmon coral. Creamy and not pearlized like the other two. I'm dying to swatch these. I'll put up some pics as soon as I can ;-)

They sound lovely!! I hope you really like them when you get to test them out in better lighting. I know what you mean about terrible lighting for swatches. I tried lip swatches last night of my 3 new ones, and they basically all looked the same. Haha. I'm looking forward to your photos!!

Those aren't my swatches. I don't know how that got posted. I was trying to post swatches of mine but everything got all messed up. Please delete that so don't get yelled at. Thank you

They are smaller than all the lipsticks we own!!

 

[Genn]

I know people keep saying these are small but I don't think they are that bad. They are huge compared to UD minis

That swatch of Alasdhair looks stuuuuuuunning! Must resist.

Be strong!

YAY! I figured out how to do this correctly. The top picture is Ian ( very sheer color) Luca Olivier and Patrick. The bottom is Alexander Jack and Collin. Ignore my daughters pen marks please. She is constantly writing on her hands. I'm not the greatest at swatches so Collin is lighter on one side and darker on the other side.

Top: Wes Middle: NARS Bette Bottom: Pavlos These are all pretty different. I'm more likely to keep Pavlos than Wes. I like getting a neutral bold brown without too much purple. But it's a little more sheer than I'd prefer. (I'm NC10 with cloudy daylight.)

Thank you so much for these swatches and especially of Pavlos. That's my concern based on the pjotos I've ssen so far, that it looks kind of sheer. How many swipes did you do to take the pic and do you think the color is buildable?
