Private Life (01)

Tom Ford Private Life (01) Soleil Lip Foil ($53.00 for 0.10 oz.) is light-medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a fine, pearly sheen. It had medium coverage, which was somewhat buildable, but opaque coverage wans’t possible.

The Soleil Lip Foil formula is described as having a “vibrant, reflective-foil finish” that goes on with “smooth, even application for brilliant, luxurious vibrancy.” The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and thinner with minimal slip, so I was surprised to find some of the color gathered in my lip lines after applying it. I found the formula to be lightly moisturizing over the four hours it lasted, though. I think this would work better layered over another lipstick or lip pencil.

Spanish Flame (02)

Tom Ford Spanish Flame (02) Soleil Lip Foil ($53.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied evenly.

The texture was smooth, firmer but not stiff, and it glided across the lips without tugging. I could tell it had more shimmer in it by feel alone, but I wouldn’t describe it as gritty or glittery. I was able to wear this shade for four and a half hours, and it was lightly hydrating.

Aperture (03)

Tom Ford Aperture (03) Soleil Lip Foil ($53.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep brown with warm, red undertones and plum, violet, and teal pearl. This one looked more dimensional in person than captured on photo, sadly! I was really caught by surprise at how visible some of the teal flecks were on the lips. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly.

This shade had a much smoother, creamier feel on the lips without having a lot of slip, so it adhered better to lips and lasted longer (five and a half hours), but it was still moisturizing and comfortable to wear.
