Thomas

Tom Ford Thomas Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The pigmentation was rich and covered the lips with smooth, opaque color. The texture was less forgiving compared to other shades in the range, which I expect is partially due to the more matte finish, and it seemed more prone to making my lip lines apparent. It lasted for just over five hours, left a subtle stain behind, but some of the color seemed to gather in my lip lines over time.

Formula Overview

$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce

The Lips & Boys Lip Color formula is not different from the full-sized Lip Color range; they offer a travel-sized version (which is actually cheaper by the ounce: $36.00/0.07 oz. or $514.29/oz. compared to the full-size at $54.00/0.10 oz. or $540.00/oz. The formula is supposed to have an "ultra-creamy texture" and "pure color" with a "balance of luminosity." The range has a fair amount of variation as the finishes differ (matte to metallic), so coverage can be medium to full with some shades applying well and others decently. The wear was anywhere from three hours to over six hours. In general, the formula has a creamy texture that's easy to work with, comfortable to wear, and is lightly to moderately hydrating. They have a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Christopher

Tom Ford Christopher Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plum with warm, brown undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was great–totally opaque–while the lipstick felt smooth, moderately creamy, and glided on with ease. The color wore well for five hours on me, and the formula felt somewhat hydrating overall.

Ben

Tom Ford Ben Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep, plummy brown with warm, reddish undertones and a semi-matte finish. The consistency was lightly creamy, almost velvet-like as it had a bit of density to it, but it was never heavy. It had rich, opaque color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly. This shade wore well for six hours and was a touch hydrating.

Evan

Tom Ford Evan Lips & Boys Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium rosy brown with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The texture was creamy enough that it glided on without tugging, but it was slightly thicker than other shades in overall feel. I felt like this shade, between the lighter color and finish, emphasized lip lines and my the texture of my lips. It had good pigmentation, though, and wore for four and a half hours.

Thomas would probably be a good color for me. I love Christopher, but that kind of color usually doesn’t love me back. Maybe I’ll find someplace to swatch it? I wish Ben was a good color for me, because that’s my son’s name 🙂

I’ve ordered Lips & Boys sight unseen from Neiman Marcus in the past, so I had to be really, really sure I was going to like each one. I’m glad that Sephora is going to carry them this year… and maybe Nordstrom will have them, too? My local Nordstrom doesn’t have very much TF makeup in stock, but they seem to have all the fragrances.

Naturally I like Evan the most when I see them actually swatched! Christopher was on the top of my list but realistically, I probably wouldn’t wear it much seeing how dark it is. I always end up gravitating to the same bunch of dusky pinky-nude lipsticks (rosewood if I’m feeling adventurous). It looks quite a bit darker than Charlotte Tilbury’s Birkin Brown although a bit redder maybe. Would you say Christopher is bolder than Birkin Brown, Christine?

I have Kat von D’s “Mother” already, but still got “Thomas” just because it’s my husband’s name. Coincidentally, Thomas is the best shade out of all of them to me. I look best in medium pink shades and my favorite lipstick finish is matte! None of the other shades look as appealing to me, so this one is definitely a keeper (if you get me, hahaha). xD

Christine Avatar

I love Christopher and think it would be stunning on women with yellow undertones in their skin. I’m a bit paler (more like fair to light) but also have yellow undertone, and this looks just as good on me. I was afraid it’d be drying as a matte but it actually felt pretty good!

Love your reviews, keep them up! They helped me decide to get Christopher (and your reviews also help me decide which products to skip, and save my money!)

Welp, I ended up going on a bit of a Tom Ford binge after this post and got Ben, Evan, and Dominic. I also got the Spanish Flame lip foil and one of the cream eye shadows in platinum. Such lovely formulas. Ben looks amazing on you, I’ve been looking for a color just like it for awhile. The only ones I have now that are similar are liquid lipsticks which I do love, but for day to day I can’t deal with wearing them too often because they are drying.
