Alistair

Tom Ford Beauty Alistair Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep, pinky beige with warmer undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied decently but could have gone on more evenly, and it did pull into my lip lines.The texture was creamy with moderate slip, and it did feel like it was sliding around a bit over the three hours it stayed on for. The formula felt lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview

$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce

The Lips & Boys Lip Color formula is not different from the full-sized Lip Color range; they offer a travel-sized version (which is actually cheaper by the ounce: $36.00/0.07 oz. or $514.29/oz. compared to the full-size at $54.00/0.10 oz. or $540.00/oz. The formula is supposed to have an "ultra-creamy texture" and "pure color" with a "balance of luminosity." The range has a fair amount of variation as the finishes differ (matte to metallic), so coverage can be medium to full with some shades applying well and others decently. The wear was anywhere from three hours to over six hours. In general, the formula has a creamy texture that's easy to work with, comfortable to wear, and is lightly to moderately hydrating. They have a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Bryan

Tom Ford Beauty Bryan Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and fine, golden pearl. It had good color payoff in a single layer, which adhered evenly to my lips and didn’t gravitate toward my lip lines noticeably. The consistency was lightweight, moderately emollient, and comfortable to apply and to wear as the formula felt lightly hydrating. This shade wore well for four hours on me.
