I was initially a little disappointed when I first tried my Tom Ford lipstick in Blush Nude on. Before you think I'd have the audacity to 'diss' a TF lipstick, I'm not, just the shade wasn't for me. As most of you will know by now, Emily doesn't do nude lips. I just don't feel like me and I like having fun with colour which often results in coloured lips, and I also think flatters my pale skintone better, too. This Tom Ford lipstick is fine luxury- it's so creamy, so smooth, and so opaque on just one swipe on the lips, so I had to find a way to wear it.
By layering a bit of 'Rock Candy' lipgloss from Estee Lauder on top, which was part of a duo lipgloss I got free in their most recent Gift With Purchase (you can see that here), these two products create a soft milky pink that looks ace with a smokey eye. It's about as 'nude' as my lips will ever get, but I love it and know I'll be wearing this look a lot more often from now on.
What do you think? Do you own any Tom Ford lipsticks? I definitely need Wild Ginger in my life, I'm a sucker for an orange red.
Your whole make up look looks lovely here. The lippy is so, so nice. I'm not sure I could part with the cash for a TF lippy but its definitely something I'd ask for as a bday/xmas gift.

I like that lipstick with the gloss! I'm the same, nude lipstick just doesn't work on me. I really like colour or contrast! xx
ReplyDeleteooooo im a sucker for a fancy lipstick, love how you've layered the two! and I love your eye make-up too honey :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt's quite strange to see you looking more neutral in the lips, but it's gorgeous! The shade suits you so well. I wish I could pull off nude shades, I feel like I look like those people who put foundation on their lips! xo.
ReplyDeleteIt does look lovely on you here. I prefer the brighter colours in his lipsticks too though - I can't get used to nude lips!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous lip combo!!! it works perfectly with the rest of the make up too.
ReplyDeleteI want a Tom Ford lipstick...sooner or later... I want True Coral :) xx

You look gorgeous in this pic! I am the same with nude lips, they don't really suit pale complexions, you end up looking washed out. I much prefer bright colours too.
