Tom Ford Edie, Isabelle, Ultra Girls Lip Colors Reviews & Swatches
Edie
Tom Ford Beauty Edie Lips & Girls Soft Shine Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium peach with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. While it was supposed to have medium, buildable coverage, the end result was nearly opaque coverage accomplished in one pass, so you’d have to go easy and spread out the color with fingertips or by pressing lips together.
The texture was lightly creamy with moderate slip, which made for comfortable to wear but it didn’t feel slippery over time. This particular shade seemed to emphasize my lip lines somewhat, as the product sank into them and separated noticeably. It stayed on nicely for three and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce
The newest Girls launched with a "Soft Shine" finish but are under the Lip Color umbrella, though it's unclear exactly what is to be expected based on the finish. Given that Tom Ford already has a sheer finish, it seems more likely to be a shinier version of the cream finish, and based on the shades I've seen, means a bit of shimmer/luminosity, too. (If and when I see official information about the finish, I'll be sure to update the overview and ratings accordingly, if necessary.)
The formula seemed to have semi-opaque to opaque coverage, and the shades that fell under opaque coverage seemed to have a subtle translucency to them that yielded a luminous finish--lighter weight, shiny with light glossiness, and gave the illusion of fuller lips for me. The consistency was lightweight, emollient without being overly slippery, and comfortable to apply and to wear. They had decent wear ranging between three and five hours and felt lightly to moderately moisturizing while worn. They were vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.

Isabelle
Tom Ford Beauty Isabelle Lips & Girls Soft Shine Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, medium red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, so it was closer to the mark (“medium” and “buildable” coverage).
The color applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The texture felt lightweight, thin without being clingy, and was creamy enough to be comfortable but kept from sliding around during the five hours it wore for.

Ultra
Tom Ford Beauty Ultra Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, light-medium mauve with warm undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish. The color payoff was semi-opaque in one pass, so it seemed “over” pigmented compared to the marketing but for most, it’s unlikely to be a deal-breaker.
The lipstick felt lightly creamy, emollient without being slippery or heavy on my lips, and was kind to my lip lines. This shade stayed on well for three and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

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.

I think it’s interesting how TF named so many of the lipsticks from this latest Boys & Girls release after Andy Warhol people. That said, poor Edie…she deserves a better-performing shade!
Ultra is the shade that appeals to me the most, but I already have MAC Tres Blasé, and EL Knockout Nude is currently on its way to me!
yes ! to the andy warhol thing. i kept seeing the reviews and like, as an andy warhol superfan i’m so tempted. but, like you said, edie is the color that i liked most, but it didn’t perform as well as it should have.
Isabelle is one dynamite red lippy! Too bad I’ve got an 85 and an 80% dupe for it. Although both look quite a full shade deeper. Hmmm ?
Same issue with the very lovely nude Ultra. I have PMG Christy and Bare Minerals XOX. Otherwise, I would absolutely buy this one!
Not loving any of these shades. Way too light for me and not great reviews. These shades are easy passes for me and one of the rare passes for me when it comes to lipstick!!
Isabelle is a bright, vibrant red…beautiful shade.
