Exotic Flora

Tom Ford Beauty Exotic Flora Sheer Cheek Duo ($80.00 for 0.15 oz.) includes a pop of rich pink and coral housed in a large, plastic compact. Per the brand, the formula yields a “soft veil of color” when applied wet and a “sweeping pop of vibrancy” when applied dry. The formula was pigmented regardless of application method, but the dampened application looked a bit more like a cream blush on than it did when applied dry. The formula had a denser, firmer feel in the pan, so denser brushes tended to work best.

Exotic Flora (Top)

Exotic Flora (Top) is a bright, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. The blush was richly pigmented applied dry or wet, but the dampened application yielded a slightly deeper color. The texture was smooth to the touch but rather firm and dense in the pan, which meant no excess product was kicked up, and it was easy to control how much product was picked up by my brush, but it tended to work better with denser brushes. My recommendation would be use to a denser, but smaller than average, blush brush for even, medium-to-full coverage. It wore well for nine hours before fading slightly on me.

Exotic Flora (Bottom)

Exotic Flora (Bottom) is a rich, medium-dark coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque pigmentation applied dry that merely amplified to a deeper, richer hue applied damp but coverage was still full. I was able to blend and diffuse the powder out easily on my cheeks, but the texture itself was a bit firmer in the pan, and the powder was thinner. The color stayed on well for almost nine hours on me.
