Tom Ford Ambrosia + Dark Opulence Eyeshadow Quad Swatches
For fall, Tom Ford has two new eyeshadow quads–Ambrosia and Dark Opulence–which I bought and pretty much felt a heavy dose of regret and sadness upon swatching. I should have reviews soon-ish but here are swatches for now!

Because I believe that I have every last shade found in Dark Opulence a few times over, and done better too, I’m thinking that I seriously don’t need either one. $90 for sheer, weakly pigmented blue and green? NOPE!
Ambrosia is a “maybe”, depending on how it performs.
Oh, my–I feel your regret and sadness in those swatches. 😭
Ah man the regret and sadness when a beauty product disappoints you, I know the feeling. Was curious about these palettes. Thanks for taking one for the team!
That’s disappointing for ppl that loved these color stories
The swatches for Dark Opulence actually look more than a bit disappointing – #2 and 3 look sort of lacking in “oomph” but I’ll be keen to see how they perform (not that I’d shell out for Tom Ford – just too rich for my blood). Colour-wise, I’d like to see a palette with Ambrosia 1 and 4 and Dark Opulence 2 and 3 (like Genevieve, I’m also not a huge fan of the ubiquitous black eyeshadow in so many palettes).
Oh my – I guess your comment about a heavy dose of regret basically confirms my reaction to how these swatch!
You are joking Tom Ford! No wonder you felt ‘sadness and regret’ after swatching these Christine – they are dead set dreadful – just like those truly expensive Dior Backstage blushes. Send them back Christine and get a refund!
Oh, dear…
I only love the wet/dry formula…the last two days I’ve been playing w my suspicion quad so good 😁
Oh man, I would be disappointed too.
Wow! No color payoff and depth from any of the swatches, for a ~ $100 quad? One could put together a similar quad with Sydney Grace eyeshadows and get deep, rich colors and beautiful shimmers for a fraction of the cost. Disappointment indeed. 🙁
