Tom Ford Night Sky (01) Cream and Powder Eye Color ($66.00 for 0.31 oz.) includes a full-sized powder eyeshadow and full-sized cream eyeshadow housed in a two-tiered component. They worked well together, but both were weaker on their own and less impressive as a result. The cream eyeshadow was hard to apply evenly; the darker color paired with greater slip yielded sheerer, streakier results, but the formula is buildable and opaque in two layers, so it can work. I just don’t think it’s as good as past iterations of the cream eyeshadow formula (which I’m normally a huge fan of).

Also, surprised to see this product already increase by $6 since the last release!

Night Sky (Powder) is a muted, blackened blue with hints of gray and multi-colored shimmer (primarily violet, blue, and aquamarine) over a mostly matte base. The texture was soft, smooth, and thinner than most Tom Ford eyeshadows that I’ve come across. It had good color payoff, but it was prone to sheering out a bit in practice, so it is a shade better applied over the cream eyeshadow or over a base and patted on, rather than swept on, if you want to maintain intensity. The color lasted for eight hours on me. NARS Giove (P, $29.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Too Faced De La Mer (PiP, $16.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Urban Decay Heroine (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery, cooler (85% similar). bareMinerals Shaken Not Stirred (P, ) is darker (90% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Night Sky (Cream) is a blackened navy blue with fine shimmer that gives it a pearly sheen. It was very pigmented, but it was also quite emollient, yet thick, which made it apply with more semi-opaque coverage. I was able to layer to get totally opaque coverage, but it was very difficult to do in just one stroke. The color looked streaky without a second layer as well. Once it dried down, the color didn’t budge or fade for twelve hours. MAC Aphrodisiatic (LE, $25.00) is more shimmery, lighter (95% similar). NARS Glenan (P, $28.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). MAC Thru the Night (DC, $21.00) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Shop & Drop (LE, $17.00)(95% similar). Bobbi Brown Blue Onyx (LE, ) is less shimmery (95% similar). MAC Imaginary (DC, $23.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). NARS Ubangi (P, $25.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Too Faced De La Mer (PiP, $16.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). Sydney Grace Moonlit Kingdom (PiP, $6.25) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty The Parisienne #2 (LE, ) is lighter (90% similar). MAC No Taboos (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery, warmer (90% similar). Giorgio Armani Minuit (02) (DC, $39.00) is lighter (90% similar). Pat McGrath Underworld (PiP, $25.00) is lighter (90% similar).
