Tom Ford Fling It On Lip Contour Duo Review, Photos, Swatches
Fling It On (02)
Tom Ford Fling It On (02) Lip Contour Duo ($53.00 for 0.08 oz.) contains a slim lip color with a twist-up “Lip Shaper,” where the lip color hides in the base of the component. It features a medium, pink-coral lipstick with a lighter, brighter pink-coral lip liner with gold sparkle.
The Lip Shaper is designed for enhancing and defining the lips, and it can be used to shape or “create an ombre effect” to the lips, while the lip color is supposed to be full coverage. Sadly, I really like the lip color formula in the duo; it’s very creamy, hydrating, and comfortable to wear with four to six-hour wear time, but the Lip Shaper formulation left a lot to be desired. I struggled with using the Lip Shapers as they often broke on me, as they were quite brittle, and the majority were very dry, so they tugged and dragged on the lips. They also had bits of sparkle, which did not work well for defining the edge of the lips nor did it work out for filling in the lips.

Fling It On (Lip Color)
Fling It On (Lip Color) is a soft, medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a creamy finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips evenly. The texture was lightly creamy, light-medium in thickness, and comfortable to wear. The formula had moderate slip, and it was hydrating, but it had a tendency to move on the lips and wear time ended up at four hours.

Fling It On (Lip Shaper)
Fling It On (Lip Shaper) is a light, pinky-coral with warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle. The texture was creamier than a lot of the Lip Shapers in the duos, but it was still hard to apply as it was stiffer, thicker, and had a tendency to thicken on the lips. It had mostly opaque coverage and lasted for over six hours, though it was drying on its own as well as when worn under the lipstick.

Oooooh that lip color is rrreally pretty.
The lipstick was nicer!
The lip liner makes me wince, so dry looking, but the lipstick looks pretty on you!
It is so dry 🙁
It seems like they didn’t think the lip pencils through at all, or really do any quality control/testing of them… a disappointment. I’ll pay TFs crazy prices for unique lip colors I love when the formula’s beautiful, but not otherwise…
I don’t understand the pencils at all – it’s almost like they all dried out before arriving 🙁
The shade itself is gorgeous. Looks like a combination of my UD Liar and the *old* version of Streak mixed together! That being 2 I already own, I will just try doing that. Because this one, while beautiful, has a price per oz that is VERY difficult to swallow. Would MUCH rather TF made this a full sized lipstick at the same $’s. Then I really could see it!
Yep! I felt like, “Wow, this formula is good but different from the permanent range, they should have ditched the liner!”
I think I have to get this now. I wasn’t really impressed with the color line up, but seeing this again I’m really digging it. I have one other color from this line up, the very nudey pale limited edition. And after using it for several months (not as their meant to be together, that makes me look dead) but separate…I really really enjoy them! I haven’t had any drying out or breaking issues with the lipliner. And the glitter flecks on the perimeter of the lips I find give the illusion of a fuller pout and look nice under a slightly warmer lipstick. And it works particularly well with liquid lipsticks (which normally I hate).
Not a color I can get away with 🙁
Mine arrived this week. Agree on the pencil dryness. Killer fail. The lipstick is nice but has this slightly too brightness to it. Wondering what return/ exchange policy is like…..
