Tom Ford First Frost Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

First Frost

Tom Ford Beauty First Frost Eye Color Quad ($88.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a new, limited edition warm-toned quad featuring a light beige, pink, soft brown, and darker brown all with a shimmer finish. They were the gel-powder formula, which tends to be more consistent (and higher-performing) for the brand, which was true here. All four shades were pigmented, though they were easy to use dry as well as wet; using a wet brush amplified the finish to something shinier and color went slightly deeper.

First Frost #1

First Frost #1 is a very light beige with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single applied dry, which was fully opaque when applied with a dampened brush.

The texture was smooth, moderately dense, slightly firmer but not stiff to work with, so the product picked up well with a brush and had good adhesion that helped the product “melt” onto my skin for a seamless look. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

First Frost #2

First Frost #2 is a medium pink with moderate, warm undertones in the base color and warmer, more golden shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly to bare skin regardless of whether I used a dry brush or a wet brush.

The texture was soft, smooth, and more yielding than the other three shades, so it seemed a smidgen powdery in comparison but was still very easy to work with, didn’t have fallout, and had that “melted” finish applied. The color stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

First Frost #3

First Frost #3 is a medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and slightly cooler, almost silvery-beige shimmer throughout paired with a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. The texture was soft, smooth, and dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan, so it picked up easily with a dry brush. It lasted well for nine hours before fading a bit.
