Back in 2015 when I was in Singapore for a press junket we roamed around the shops and took our time in one department store gushing over Tom Ford beauty. It wasn’t available back here in Manila then but now I’m just glad it is!
Went to Tom Ford Beauty counter in Rustan’s last month with Angela of Lush Angel and played around with the products. I swear Tito TF (wow close kami hahaha) has one of the best packaging there is. It’s so chic you’d want to own most of the products just because!
SKIN ILLUMINATOR
Inspired by the look of skin bathed in summer evening light, this illuminator creates an irresistible, translucent glow. Its peach pink shade flatters every skin tone while moisturizing and soothing skin, and its highly micronised pearls diffuse light for a naturally enhanced, sun-kissed look.
Apply it all over the face on its own or mixed with Tom Ford Traceless Foundation, to achieve radiant skin. It can also used as a highlighter under or over makeup.
THE ULTIMATE BRONZER
The ultimate bronzing formula as a combination of liquid and powder technology that glides flawless onto face with a silky, non-drying, buildable sultry glow. Shades of velvet matte to golden shimmer. It’s oil-free, talc-free and longwearing.
Let me tell you it was love at first swipe! Love how it’s silky it glides on skin.
CREAM AND POWDER EYE COLOR
The two-tiered eye color pairs two coveted formulate in one to create a lustrous and sexy summertime eye. It comes in different ultra-pigmented, metallic cream shadow that glides onto lids with rich, molten glow and sparkling celestial powder intensifies the look with alluring shimmer.
The cream and powder is lovely I can use my finger to swipe it on my lids. If you like to highlight your eyes this is the Tom Ford product for you!
SOLEIL CONTOURING COMPACT AND BRONZING POWDER
Tom Ford’s Luxurious Artisan Face Palette returns in Soleil Afterglow. Three new sensual summer shades in one ivory and gold colored TF Soleil compact. The blush, highlighter and bronzer add natural dimension and sensors color in a cream-like powder formula that effortlessly glides onto skin with a soft, even finish. The vibrant pink blush gives cheeks the perfect touch of color, the pale rose highlighter mimics the sun reflecting off the skin and the sultry bronzer enhances a healthy radiance. Use the shades alone or together to contour a seductive, natural glow.
It gives a sheer to medium coverage, both matte and radiant. If you want texture then this trio palette is for you.
SOLEIL SHEER CHEEK DUO
Cheeks go both ways with Paradise Lust, a pair of peach and bright coral shades that give a light-reflective finish to bronzed summer skin. A soft pink highlighter and a bold rose blush can be applied wet for a soft veil of color or dry for a sweeping pop of vibrancy.
SHEER HIGHLIGHTING DUO
A pair of shimmering rose and yellow gold inspired by the sunrise and sunset. Give a light-reflective finish to bronzed, glowing skin. A versatile cheek and face highlighter and luminous eye shadow, the radiant shades can be applied wet for a soft veil of color or dry for a sweeping pop of vibrancy. Either way you can use it alone or together.
Love how the cheek duo is non-streaking and has a stay-true color that blends easily. The highlighter duo is equally beautiful. The swatches are by the way only one swipe!
I want everything in this photo!

LIP CONTOUR DUO
Duo lip color and shaping tool. One end the slim and sleek pencil features a lip shaper to enhance and define lips, the opposite end is a full-coverage, slim stick lip color concealed inside. Use the lighter shade of lip shaper together with the deeper lip color to add dimension, shape and create an ombre effect on your lips. From subtle contour to high-definition contrast.
LIP COLOR
To Tom Ford, there is no more dramatic accessory than a perfect lip. It is the focus of the face and it has the power to define a woman’s whole look. Each lip color is Tom Ford’s modern ideal of an essential makeup shade. Rare and exotic ingredients including Soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil create an ultra-creamy texture with an incredible smooth application specially treated color pigments are blended to deliver pure color with just the right balance of luminosity.
Tom Ford lipstick has three finishes: cream, metallic and matte.
He also came up with a collection named after different sought after Hollywood celebrities.
Aaah that Tom Ford embossed logo!
TOM FORD FRAGRANCE
Something about Tuscan Leather and Tobacco Vanille that got my olfactory sense wanting warm and masculine scents all of a sudden. Mixed it with Soleil Blanc and it smells even more delightful!
The orchid perfume collection.
Tom Ford has more than a dozen perfumes. I wish my blog has a “scratch and sniff” button so you can smell each one of them! Fret not though you can do exactly this at the Tom Ford counter in Rustan’s Department Store in Makati.
