Metallic Dream is the sort of colour-way that I like so much but at $88, this is pricey but here, it’s $110 so even if it’s absolute perfection, I’d have a problem dropping someone’s grocery money for the week on an eyeshadow quad, as much as I love makeup. I’ll try to dupe these but I’ll be interested in how well the rate with Christine.
I agree Mariella – it would be horrendously expensive as well and I just don’t like black shades in a quad because I never use them.
I do sometimes use a black shadow (not often but sometimes) but I’ve more than enough of them – since they do seem to be included in so many palettes, both large and smaller (like this one and Dior’s) – to last me a life time and on into the afterlife!
I agree with Mariella as to the price. I can’t justify giving a c-note (after taxes) to Tom Ford for less than 1/4 oz. of pigment, mica and some sort of silicone binder.
I will gladly buy a single shadow–if it’s perfect, for $24–and if Metallic Denim #3 turns out to be teal and rates in A that could be it. And I like the darker muted colors with it except the sultry black, but already own similar shades. My other consideration is that makeup is really a piece of ephemera, if you follow a dermatologist’s guidance about when you are supposed to throw out makeup.
I’d be fine with things like that as a present. I remember when someone gave me my first dark red Christian Dior lipstick–it smelled so good.
I’m always on the lookout for quads to take with me when I travel but like Mariella said $110 is a little much even if the color story speaks to you 🙁
Brenda, have you tried any of the Smashbox Cover Shot palettes? They’re 8 pans but very small and compact and I can vouch for 2 of them (Minimalist and Punked) as perfect neutral travel palettes (whenever we can travel again…sigh) for a small fraction of the price of this Tom Ford offering. I take Minimalist with me now in place of UD’s original Naked (the last 2 times I travelled – a few days in Stratford, Ontario and similar in Ottawa) it was the only palette I took with me and I didn’t feel deprived.
These do look lovely – especially Metallic Denim, although the pesky black shade is off putting to me.
In the Rose Prisme quad, the first three shades seem quite muted and I wonder how well they would show up on someone with very fair skin tones.
The shadows in Rose Prisme are soft (in intensity) but to paraphrase my dear friend @aileron_beauty, they can create lovely, subtle looks (even ethereal!). Sometimes, that’s what the mood or occasion calls for, and I’m happy to have added this lovely, well-performing quad to my collection of eyeshadows.
I have quite fair skin and the shadows show up on me. Granted, I might have liked a touch more pigmentation/intensity from the peach and lilac shades, but I do like how they provide a lovely wash of color.
That blue-black smokey theme Metallic Denim is speaking to me…and then I remember how I’ve neglected UD Naked Smoky that I literally almost got hit by lightning getting!
The rose one doesn’t really interest me. Too light. I like the denim one but only the blue colour. $110 Canadian is a lot for one colour, since the rest seem dupeable. Will see if the Dior denim palette can be a substitute.
Metallic Denim looks promising. Rose Prisme reminds me of Nude Dip, which has a little more contrast, but which I rarely reach for. Will wait for swatches…
I don’t think I’ll be adding to TF’s fortune by buying any of these. I do love how Metallic Denim 3 and 4 looks, and Rose Prism 3, but the rest I think I have loads of dupes for. Of course I wont know about dupes until I read here, but that’s how I feel.
I’m not a fan of TF when it comes to makeup. I know there are quads that are talked about, I only have one and I don’t like it at all. I keep on to it as it cost so much. I like one of two lipsticks, and that’s it. I have all of three products and like one.
Tom Ford and Charlotte Tilbury are similar in that they have carved out a certain niche and are loyal to it. My love affair with TF is so ten years ago. I’ve changed. He hasn’t.
