Tom Ford Dorothy, Abigail, Cherry Boys & Girls Lip Colors Reviews & Swatches
Dorothy
Tom Ford Beauty Dorothy Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, light-medium coral with warmer undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was closer to sheer than the other two shades launched this season!
The product applied comfortably to my lips as the texture was lightweight, creamy without being too slippery, and had fairly evenly application. The downside was that it seemed to have visible streaks along the edges of my lips, and lines were left when I pressed my lips together. It was shorter-wearing at a mere three hours (four is closer to average), though the luminous finish didn’t make the wear time a real surprise.

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.

Abigail
Tom Ford Beauty Abigail Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light-medium, pinky beige with warmer undertones and a luminous, cream finish. It seemed to have the barest suggestion of pearl that gave it a bit of shine.
The texture was creamy, lightweight, and thin with moderate slip so it was comfortable to apply but didn’t slide around during wear. There was slight product that accumulated in my deeper lip lines and a touch of streaking along the edges. It had nearly opaque color coverage, so obvious a good deal above “sheer,” which has been an ongoing “issue” I’ve had with this particular formula in the past. It wore well for three and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Cherry
Tom Ford Beauty Cherry Boys & Girls Ultra-Rich Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark pink-coral with warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had good color payoff–though not sheer!–that applied smoothly across my lips without tugging, but the product could have adhered more evenly as it seemed more prone to catching on texture/imperfects (see upper lip, below cupid’s bow).
The lipstick had a lightweight, lightly creamy texture that had moderate slip and was comfortable to apply and to wear. The product lasted decently for four hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce
The Ultra-Rich Lip Color formula is supposed to have "full-coverage" and "high-shine" that "moisturizers lips instantly." The majority of the range had semi-opaque coverage with a few being sheerer and some with more full coverage. The finish was more luminous--shiny but not glossy or heavy--which meant they had moderate slip, so they tended to wear around four hours on me. There were some of the deeper shades (like reds) that lasted longer and left subtle stains behind. I found the formula to be lightly to moderately hydrating over time. They are vanilla scented but have no discernible taste.

All way too lite for me. Very pretty colours but feel very spring/summer. For the price they don’t perform that well and aren’t that interesting.
Cherry is gorgeous! But more of a spring/summer shade for me. Still may get it, though, because I really love it.
I wish Dorothy had applied just as nicely, but nope, not that great.
Well, these aren’t that great for the price, are they? Dorothy would be my favourite shade, but I’m not wowed.
Why so many variations of coral and why all warm? They are pretty colors but not colors I can wear. Someone with warm skin tones would look beautiful in these colors…if only they performed better
