Carolyn
Tom Ford Beauty Carolyn Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium, rosy copper with warm undertones and fine, multi-colored pearl (dominated by gold and copper, though). The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and emollient enough that it felt more like a lip balm as it glided across the lips with ease. It had semi-sheer coverage in a single layer, which was slightly buildable to medium coverage with a second layer. The lipstick lasted for four hours and was moisturizing.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce
The Lip Color Sheer formula is supposed to have a "semi-sheer effect" with a "creamy" and "hydrating" formula. They are a sheerer lip color, which may or may not be one's cup of tea; if you are looking for pigment, look elsewhere, but if you're someone who likes sheerer coverage, lightweight, hydrating textures, then it might be a formula for you.
There are several shades in the range that have a more transformative effect, as they contain a lot of shimmer/sparkle or have a more duochrome or iridescent-like finish. There are others, typically deeper, richer hues (reds, berries, etc.) that are more medium coverage. The wear ranged a lot from as short as two hours to as long as five hours but most wore around three hours. The formula is lightly hydrating with a very lightweight feel on the lips. They are vanilla scented but have no discernible taste.

Lisa
Tom Ford Beauty Lisa Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium copper with warm, gold and copper pearl. It had semi-sheer color payoff that applied fairly evenly, though the texture seemed to be thin compared to other shades and had less of a glossy finish as well. It glided across the lips without tugging despite not having as much slip. This shade wore well for two and a half hours and was hydrating.

Too sheer for me!
Fabiola is my fave here!
Fabiola looks fabulous! (Yes, play on words intended!) I really love these types of richer, glossier nude shades. Mainly because they don’t need much, if any real effort to wear, as opposed to paler and/or more flat matte nudes.
It’s true – they are very easy to wear!
Fabiola looks fabulous on you. Your reviews are always so helpful and honest. I do have a question though: Do you have any plans to review the new Cle De Peau Limited Edition eye color pencil – crayons pour les yeux? Thank you.
Sorry, I don’t have those.
Very sheer shades and when compared to the new Nars offerings, not as vibrant.
Beautiful makeup Christine!
