Nina
Tom Ford Beauty Nina Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium coral with warm, orange undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-sheer color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly across the lips and did not appear streaky. There was a very slight amount of product that gathered in my deeper lip lines but was not noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The texture was lightly emollient so it glided on nicely but was thin and lightweight. It lasted for two and a half hours on me and was lightly moisturizing.

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.

Marguerite
Tom Ford Beauty Marguerite Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a soft pink with subtle, cool undertones and a frosted finish. It had sheer coverage–more shimmer than color–that applied evenly and easily across the lips. The consistency was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and never dragged when I applied it directly to my lips. This shade wore well for two and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

Alicia
Tom Ford Beauty Alicia Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with very subtle, warm undertones and a luminous finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff that applied somewhat evenly, but there was visible streaking along the edges and some color that gathered in my lip lines. The texture was thin, emollient but not slippery, and felt a bit clingy compared to most of the shades in the range. It wore well for two and a half hours on me and was non-drying.

I really love the looks of Nina but am afraid it’ll be too sheer. Alicia looks more up my alley but I’m not so excited by it.
Too sheer on these for me but still cute.
These are much too sheer, plus that short weartime is selling me on these 3 either. Pretty shades, but I know that there are better performing dupes.
