Tom Ford Liora, Jessica, Cardi Boys & Girls Sheer Lip Colors Reviews & Swatches
Liora
Tom Ford Beauty Liora Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a pale pink with cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-sheer coverage that applied somewhat unevenly and had streaking along the edges. The texture was lightweight with a lightly creamy, thinner consistency that felt a bit like a balm, so it didn’t drag or tug on my lips during application but I did have issues with color getting into my lip lines. It lasted for three hours on me and was lightly hydrating.

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.

Jessica
Tom Ford Beauty Jessica Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pink with subtle flecks of gold sparkle. It had medium color coverage that applied evenly and sat well on my lips giving them a smoother appearance. The texture was lightly emollient, so it glided across my lips easily but didn’t slide around too much. It stayed on well for four hours and was lightly moisturizing.

Cardi
Tom Ford Beauty Cardi Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark, bluish-purple with flecks of blue, violet, and lighter blue pearl and micro-sparkle. Because it’s semi-sheer in coverage, the purplish-blue color ends up looking more purple than blue against my natural lip color (which is slightly pinky). There’s an unevenness to how it applies, though, that prevents it from being a good layering shade. It had a very lightweight, emollient consistency that was comfortable to apply and to wear. It lasted for three hours on me and lightly hydrating.

Only Jessica is calling to me. Looks like a clear winner for spring and summer 2019, though!
I wish that Cardi had performed better…it could have been a cool shade if it didn’t look so rough and raggedy.
As a Jessica who loves pink, I am SO happy to see that this reviewed well. So well, I’m going to go and pick it up tonight. I’ve got a million pinks, but I have had a rough week so this is the perfect excuse to treat myself 🙂
I really like Jessica and Cardi, and I have at least two dupes for each. Yay, money saved!
