The Tom Ford Lips & Boys 2016 Collection hits counters next week, launching at Sephoraon November 24th and online at at counters at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Tom Ford on Black Friday! The collection features 50 lip colors; 25 returning hues and 25 completely new shades. I am excited to share a comprehensive overview of the new shades with swatches galore; with sheer metallic, cream and matte finishes and hues ranging from the palest nude to the deepest aubergine, there is sure to be a boy for you in the mix!
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and additional beauty discoveries for this month as well as images of the products in action…
Creamy and hydrating with marvelous color payoff, the new shades feature a lovely round of mattes and metallics with a few cream finish options thrown in for good measure. I am partial to the matte (insane color payoff) and cream (super natural) options but was also very impressed with the pronounced luminosity of the metallic shades. They apply like silk and act as a radiant gossamer
I swatched the new *Lips & Boys in the order that they arrived on my doorstep…when there are 25 colors to judiciously handle, one has to embrace a consistent ordering system and I allowed the arrangement in the lacquered box to make the decision for me.
All shades were swatched in natural sunlight and are extremely color accurate. Consequently, I will let the shades speak for themselves and will denote only brief color descriptions as well as the finish of the lipstick per Tom Ford press material…enjoy the swatches!

The full look.
To complement the new Tom Ford Lips & Boys Collection, I curated the following recent product discoveries and launches to create a full look:
*Lancer Lift & Plump Sheet Mask: This mask is transcendent; in 15 minutes, my tired face is tightened, lifted and plumped (in a good way). It’s super apropos for moments when you visage needs instant extra reinforcements!
*Rouge Bunny Rouge Skin Perfector Serene Light: I have been loving this primer for its masterful skin-evening properties and tender glow. It also makes my makeup go on more smoothly and last until I choose to take it off.
*Artis Elite Mirror Gold Palm Brush: As its moniker implies, this luxurious brush fits into the palm of one’s hand for the ultimate in foundation blending and buffing control.
*Surratt Beauty Artistique Blush in Chaleur, La Rose du Soir and Barbe A Papa (reviewed HERE): To contour, bronze and blush in seconds, this trio is a dream come true.
*Jenny Patinkin Petites Vegan Brush Collection: A brand new launch from one of my favorite brush creators, this adorable mini pentad of brushes for face and eyes features ultra-soft bristles made of vegan fibers that impressively retain an opulent feel on the face. Cruelty free and luxe? Yes please!
*Surratt Beauty Artistique Eyeshadow in Ma-Peche, Amoureux, Renard Roux and Zibeline (reviewed HERE): Blended on the eye, this makes for a rosy, peachy, slightly satin wonderland.
*Tom Ford Fiber Brow Gel in Taupe (reviewed HERE): I cannot get enough of this clever brow gel…lightly tinted with nearly invisible fibers to build volume in an incognito manner, it also adds polish and hold to one’s arches and stays in place all day.
*By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra Powder: Finely milled and completely translucent, this cult-favorite smoothes pores and leaves a soft matte finish that sets makeup and still looks like real skin.
*Phuong Dang Untamed Oud: I am over the moon for this decadent oud-inspired fragrance. With top notes of rum and tar, middle notes of honey, rose and clove and base notes of vanilla absolute, tobacco, amber grey and, of course, oud, this is an apropos juice for anyone who loves a musky, earthy, slightly spicy energy to their fragrance. I, for one, am confident that I’ll be reaching for it constantly this winter!
*Body Shop Body Butter: This rich cream couldn’t have arrived at a better time in the season…so lush and nourishing, it’s been my post-shower treat lately.
*Illumai Protect: This leave-in spray detangles my often knotty hair (pun intended) while simultaneously imparting shine, moisture and manageability. I am very impressed with the Illumai line as a whole and this is a hero product for me.
*Dessata Hairbrush: Ever since my hair has gotten super long, my normal detangling brush hasn’t been performing as well. Enter Dessatta: This genius brush has longer (yet still flexible) bristles that glide through my wet hair with ease. I was truly stunned the first time I used it…it’s wildly effective and at a stunning price point to boot.
*Tom Ford Lips & Boys in Evan (creamy matte nude), Anderson (rich matte baby pink), Cristiano (demi-matte coral) and Inigo (luminous deep blackberry).
New face discoveries.
From L-R: Swatches of the LMdB Afterglow Foundation #8, Tom Ford Waterproof Foundation in Natural and Rouge Bunny Rouge Serene Light for a perfected canvas.
Bottom Line: I hope you enjoyed this *Tom Ford Lips & Boys 2016 preview and new product discovery feature! It is always my profound joy to share what is coming up in the world of beauty and these lipsticks–especially Evan, Anderson, Cristiano and Inigo–are glorious and worth looking forward to, indeed. The lip color will be available individually, in a 50-piece collectors’ set housed in a black lacquered Tom Ford case and also in a customizable three-piece container for options galore.
As aforementioned, the 25 new shades will be launch at Sephora on 11/24 and at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Tom Ford on Black Friday 11/25! Which shades caught YOUR eye? Do tell!
Good things ahead, including a travel beauty story and a host of new product procurements. I am also working on responding to your latest batch of emails and comments…much appreciation for your patience in the meanwhile.
