Tom Ford Golden Hour Eye Color Quad Review & Swatches
Golden Hour
Tom Ford Beauty Golden Hour Eye Color Quad ($90.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a new, probably limited edition, warm-toned color story featuring various hues of copper. The color story was darker and more red-toned than orange-toned compared to Peach Dawn, released alongside this quad, but obviously oddly similar for the same release. It features the gel-powder formula that can be used wet or dry with ease and tends to be more reliable in terms of performance/quality. All four shades were pigmented, blendable, and had that “melted” effect on the lids.

Golden Hour #4
LELimited Edition.
Golden Hour
Tom Ford Beauty Golden Hour Eye Color Quad ($90.00 for 0.35 oz.)
Ingredients
Even though I put this on my WL, I’m having some qualms and concerns just like the peach quad. Those last 2 shades are just a little too close for comfort. And yet, I definitely love the fiery look of Golden Hour, especially with my eye color. However, I’d probably enjoy the depth and sultriness of Hazy Sensuality more.
Another excellent quad, quality wise, but the last two shades are a bit too reddish for me. I did like shades 1 & 2 though.
For a moment, I thought, “Wasn’t this already posted?” ha ha
Would it hurt the man to give us a cool toned quad? Maybe there’s been on long ago, but I feel I’ve just seen warm, warmer and I’m waiting for warmest.
Quality isn’t bad, and that is as it should be, considering the cost.
