Lara
Tom Ford Beauty Lara Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark, pink-coral with warm undertones and fine pearl. It had semi-sheer color coverage that applied evenly across the lips and did not emphasize my lip lines. The consistency was lightweight, lightly emollient but not overly slippery, so while it was comfortable to wear, it did last for a solid three hours. The formula felt lightly hydrating to me.

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.

Natalia
Tom Ford Beauty Natalia Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium, golden copper with warm, sparkling copper and gold pearl and micro-sparkle. The consistency of this one was more textured–I could feel the sparkle in the tube–but it wasn’t scratchy or rough. It had sheer coverage that applied somewhat evenly but had a tendency to build up in my lip lines, and the shimmer/sparkle did not disperse as evenly as I would have liked. I expected this one to perform more in line with the rest but was actually quite under-performing. It lasted for two hours on me and was lightly moisturizing.

Romy
Tom Ford Beauty Romy Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark copper with warm, rosy undertones and a fine, gold and copper pearl finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly emollient consistency that glided across the lips without tugging but had enough slip in it that there was a bit of product that gathered in my lip lines. I also struggled to get the color to adhere well to my inner lip area (particularly the lower lip, which you can see in the swatches). This shade stayed on well for three hours and was moisturizing.

Damn, I kinda want the Lara lipstick, just because it is my name. But I don’t know if I can really justify that purchase.
That’s a struggle
Romy is my fave here!
Natalia and Romy are exactly my type of warm coppery or golden metallics. But the quality just lacks with both to the point where I wouldn’t pay $35 for a mini of either one. Luckily, I own shades like UD Amulet and MAC All I Want, and figure if I add some Fenty Universal gloss over MAC AIW, I could dupe Natalia, maybe? I really wish Natalia had been way better!
I like Romy – but I am still finding these lipsticks far too sheer for my liking and the ratings are not great enough for the price. Thank you for the review Christine.
Nothing compels me among this trio. It’s good to hear the sparkle/glitters aren’t noticable in the girls line. I have one with sparkles in the boys collection and I can feel the glitter, making it less comfortable to wear.
Lara is cute but I think it’s a little sheer for my lip color
