Molten Orchid

Tom Ford Beauty Molten Orchid Lip Lacquer Liquid Metal ($54.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a faint, metallic shimmer finish. It had good color payoff, though it wasn’t opaque, that applied evenly across my lips with ease. The texture felt smooth and moved fluidly without losing coverage, though it had moderate tackiness while worn. I felt like it had a good balance of long-wear and comfort with the tackiness, as it did not feel heavy or glue-like to me. On me, this shade stayed on well for six hours and left a faint stain behind. The formula was nicely hydrating during and after wear.

The formula is supposed to be a "liquid-gel" that optically "plumps" the lips due to the "mirror-like" finish. It is supposed to be "long-wearing" with "stay-true color" that is hydrating. They are fairly pigmented with most shades being opaque in one layer. The texture was smooth, light-medium in thickness but felt lightweight, and had moderate tackiness, though I'd say less tackiness than most other formulas I've tried that are similar (other opaque, metallic glosses). The wear ranged from five to six hours, and my lips felt hydrating during and after wear. They had a soft, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Pink Sabre

Tom Ford Beauty Pink Sabre Lip Lacquer Liquid Metal ($54.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in a single layer, and the color went on evenly without streaking. There was a smidgen of color that pulled into my deeper lip lines, but it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance as the finish was very shiny and reflective. The consistency was lightweight, light-medium in thickness, and smooth, which made it comfortable to wear, but it had some tackiness. It lasted well for five and a half hours and was moisturizing over time.
