Tom Ford David Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy gold with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It was more semi-sheer to semi-opaque with a lot of shimmer, though I didn’t feel the shimmer in the texture, as there was enough slip that it glided on unnoticeably. It could have applied more evenly. It was neither drying nor hydrating during the three and a half hours it lasted. I think this shade works better layered over lipstick or liner or paired with gloss.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Tom Ford Lips & Boys Lip Colors ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) are “clutch-sized” lipsticks; it uses the same formula as the full-sized Lip Colors (which retail for $52 for 0.10 oz.), but the packaging feels the same, just smaller. Tom Ford’s lipstick formula is supposed to be hydrating, pigmented, and have a more luminous finish (there is also a specifically Matte formula available that is much flatter in finish). This year’s launch of Lips & Boys features 25 new shades that are part of the new “metallic” finish, and then the return of 25 shades from last year. In general, the formula is semi-opaque to opaque with a lightly creamy consistency that doesn’t slide around a lot but doesn’t cling to the lips. I get anywhere from three to six hours of wear out of them, and most shades are lightly hydrating over time. The formula is vanilla-scented with no discernible taste.
