Tom Ford Winter 2018 Soleil Eye & Cheek Palette Review & Swatches

Winter 2018

Tom Ford Beauty Winter 2018 Soleil Eye & Cheek Palette ($155.00 for 0.45 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette featuring four eyeshadows, one blush, and one highlighter. I find that these palettes are very hit or miss and tend to lack consistency within each respective release. I had higher hopes for this season’s iteration as the formula used throughout is more of the gel-powder variety. The eyeshadows were so-so, while the cheek products were much nicer.

Winter 2018 (Blush)

Winter 2018 (Blush) is a medium pink with strong, warm undertones and a natural matte finish. It had the type of finish that didn’t have overt shimmer, but it didn’t look flat on my skin when applied and blended out. There were barely-there gold flecks in the pan, but it didn’t seem to have much of a true sheen/shimmer on my cheeks that I could see. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer, but it had a denser texture that required a dense, rounded brush to pick up well. On my skin, the blush blended out easily and lasted for almost nine hours before showing signs of fading.

Winter 2018 #1

Winter 2018 #1 is a bright, medium gold with strong, warm orange undertones and a frosted, lightly sparkly finish. The texture was smooth to the touch, but it felt a little drier and had a tendency to sheer out when applied. It needed to be used with a dampened brush to get to full coverage without having to use three layers packed/pressed on. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Winter 2018 #2

Winter 2018 #2 is a light-medium, peachy-pink with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had good color coverage applied dry, though it was deeper and less prone to sheering out when used with a dampened brush. The texture felt smooth and finely-milled, but it ended up being a little dusty when initially applied to my lid. The finish changed within five minutes, as the eyeshadow “melted” and looked more satiny on. This shade stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. I know the brand can and has done better, so this palette fell short for me.

Winter 2018 #3

Winter 2018 #3 is a medium, bronzy brown with warm undertones and a golden sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation applied dry, while applying with a dampened brush yielded opaque coverage that went on more smoothly. The eyeshadow had a smooth, denser feel to it, though it wasn’t stiff or difficult to pick up with a brush nor was it a challenge to blend out on my lid. It lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably on me.

Winter 2018 #4

Winter 2018 #4 is a deep, navy blue with strong, cool undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single layer when applied with a dry brush. I was able to get slightly richer coverage using a dampened brush, but it was harder to diffuse and blend out when I did so, as it wasn’t the most blendable used dry to begin with. The texture felt a little drier to me and was more prone to dustiness in the pan. The color started to show signs of fading after seven and a half hours of wear.

Winter 2018 (Highlighter)

Winter 2018 (Highlighter) is a soft peach with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The highlighter was richly pigmented with a soft, smooth texture; it was more yielding compared to the other shades in the palette, yet not at all powdery. It applied evenly to my cheeks and diffused nicely along the edges with minimal effort. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.
