Tom Ford Peach Poison Shade & Illuminate Blush Duo Review & Swatches
Peach Poison
Tom Ford Beauty Peach Poison Shade and Illuminate Blush Duo ($90.00 for 0.22 oz.) includes matte blushes in brighter orange and more mid-tone brown. They had more semi-opaque, buildable color coverage paired with very finely-milled, silky textures that played well with bare skin as well as when layered over foundation.

PPermanent. $90.00.
Peach Poison (Left)
Peach Poison (Left) is a light-medium orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable color payoff that applied well to bare skin as the texture was smooth, finely-milled, and thin without being prone to patchiness. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably on my skin.

Formula Overview
-
The formula is supposed to be "silky-smooth" with "semi-matte and highlighting hues" for a "light-reflecting" glow. I'd describe the finish was matte, and it'd be a stretch to even say semi-matte, but the powders were silky, smooth, and blendable and sat well on bare skin without emphasizing texture or dryness. I was actually going through a real dry spell with my skin when I swatched and tested this range!
The brand didn't make any claims regarding coverage, and my experience with these showed they were fairly pigmented--usually semi-opaque and buildable--but could be used with a lighter hand or less-dense brush for sheerer, more buildable coverage if desired. The coverage was versatile and seemed like it would be plenty for those who prefer more pigmentation but nothing that required a very light hand to start off with.
The most impressive part about the formula was how well it applied over bare skin and still-damp foundation; more matte finishes tend to "stick" and go on more patchily and often have to be applied over a mattified base. I didn't have any of those issues with the shades I tested; they applied beautifully over bare skin and blended out with ease.
They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading a little.

PiPPermanent in Palette.
Peach Poison (Right)
Peach Poison (Right) is a medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. There were random bits of fine shimmer throughout, but it didn’t translate in the finish, so it still looked more matte than anything else when applied and blended out on my skin. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage.
The powder was smooth, finely-milled, and soft without being powdery or dry, and in fact, despite being fairly matte, it didn’t emphasize skin texture or dryness–and I actually had patchiness when testing this out. This shade stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

So far, this is the only one that would even show up on me, both sides. And I’m not even that dark! NW30-35. How about those even deeper? Why nothing by him for them? I’ll buy dupes instead. Because, between the RIDICULOUS $90 price point and the lack of diversity, I’m feeling salty.
This duo actually works well together – both shades complement each other and they rate equally well.
This duo is so pretty! Would look great paired with Tower Beach Please Golden Hour cream blush. Would I pay $90? Absolutely not.
