Tom Ford Cream Color for Eyes ($45.00 for 0.17 oz.) has eight new shades for spring. According to Tom Ford PR, the Cream Color for Eyes shades are limited edition, though a couple of stores/counters have said differently (and some have agreed). Worth noting, the jars are different and contain less, while the price has increased; the shade released last spring was $42 for 0.21 oz. and these are $45 for 0.17 oz. The jar is slightly taller with a shorter diameter. Practically speaking, I don’t think the missing amount is going to be “felt” by the user as they have been rather large, but I was disappointed to see the squeeze on both ends–price and quantity.

The Cream Color for Eyes formula is supposed to be “ultra-pigmented” and “metallic” with a “creamy formula” that doesn’t “crease or smudge.” The majority of the shades I’ve tried in the range live up to those things–good pigmentation but can be applied sheerly (use less and/or apply with a fluffy brush) or kept opaque (a little goes a long way) with eight to twelve hours of wear (no primer). They’re blendable and dry down fast enough not to crease too easily while you’re working on them but not so quickly that they don’t budge. I did find that a couple of the new shades were more emollient than past shades and did have a longer dry down time and were harder to keep out of creases (in this review, that would be Caviar, but it seemed to eek by just fast enough to set without creasing early on).

Tom Ford Caviar Cream Color for Eyes ($45.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a dark, grayish black with silver pearl that gives it a strong sheen. It had mostly opaque coverage with a creamy, blendable texture that had a little more slip than the average shade in the formula but not so much that it took too long to dry down (so it didn’t gather in the creases as it set). The color lasted for nine and a half hours before creasing on me. Stila Vivid Labradorite (P, $24.00)(95% similar). Chanel Tisse Paris #4 (PiP, ) is less shimmery, warmer (95% similar).

Tom Ford Midnight Violet Cream Color for Eyes ($45.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a slightly muted, medium-dark plum purple with warm undertones and a frosted shimmer-sheen finish. It had opaque coverage that could be applied with a lighter touch or blended out for sheerer coverage, if desired, though it was harder to keep coverage even and sheer (I think it may be slightly too emollient). The color lasted for ten hours before creasing slightly. Makeup Geek Drama Queen (DC, $6.00) is less shimmery, darker, warmer (90% similar). Coloured Raine Alibi (LE, $6.99) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Illamasqua Queen of the Night (P, $25.50) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar).

Dior Hypnotique (881) (P, $31.00) is darker, more muted, warmer (85% similar). Urban Decay Bondage (LE, $19.00) is warmer (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Tom Ford Sphinx Cream Color for Eyes ($45.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy-orange with warm pink sparkle and shimmer that gives it more of a duochrome shift. This is one of the more sparkly shades from spring with larger particles in it, but I don’t get much fall out once it dries down and I leave it alone–the sparkles will drop down if blended while drying down/dry. The texture is lightweight, creamy, and blendable on the skin with good color payoff. It lasted for nine hours before creasing on me. ColourPop Mango Tango (LE, $4.50) is less shimmery (95% similar). ColourPop On Vacay (PiP, $4.50) is less shimmery, warmer (95% similar). Give Me Glow Sunkissed (P, $7.00) is lighter (95% similar). Glaminatrix Unveiled (PiP, $8.04) is lighter (95% similar).

Melt Cosmetics Gamma Ray #2 (LE, $22.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). NARS Outer Limits (DC, $25.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Urban Decay Starlight (DC, $20.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). Tom Ford Beauty African Violet #2 (PiP, ) is less shimmery, darker, warmer (90% similar).
