Above: The Tom Ford Concealing Pen features a flexible sponge tip for easy application and blending.
Last week, I had the chance to swatch some of the early arrivals of the Tom Ford Beauty Fall 2014 Collection, namely the Traceless Perfecting Foundation (full post–with swatches of all 15 shades– HERE) and the new concealer. I bought and adore the foundation; it’s flawless lasting power in heat and humidity is unprecedented and I own A LOT of foundations and I am waiting for the entire color collection to arrive before I make my next TF purchase. That being said, I am excited to share swatches of every shade of the Concealing Pen (currently available at Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom) as well as exclusive press images of the entire Fall 2014 collection…swatches of every other glorious product just as soon as they arrive!
Kindly scroll on for details, swatches and the Bottom Line…

And now…details on the rest of the Fall 2014 Collection…these products should be available at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom and Saks in the coming days and weeks!
I was able to pick up a sample of Velvet Orchid this week and am utterly enchanted…it is a gorgeous blend of sweet floral notes with a deep musky base that keeps it sophisticated, unexpected and delightfully wearable. Let’s just say I cannot stop smelling my wrist and envision a full size version of this scent in my future! This fragrance is currently available at Neiman Marcus, Sephora and Nordstrom.

Bottom Line: There is no question that this collection has been hotly anticipated; I simply cannot say enough good things about the Traceless Perfecting and I have high hopes for the other items in this release. Currently, new products from the Flawless Complexion Collection are available at Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom and the color collection should arrive to stores any day now! As soon as the potential to swatch becomes a reality, I will make sure to share images on the blog. In the meanwhile, I hope this post has been helpful…what is catching YOUR eye?
Ooooh! THANK YOU for these swatches! I think Light will work! How did you feel about the coverage? I am comparing it to Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, which I normally wear.
That Nude Dip palette looks amazing too, though I hope there's not a pan of glitter like other palettes by him, and all four are just nice, pigmented shimmers.
My pleasure, Ame! The coverage is quite good…definitely medium to full in a single pass and less slippery than the NARS. The Nude Dip is definitely more of a satin finish rather than a glittery one…so good!
I must have the eye palette, and I'm also considering the concealer and foundation. Thanks to your swatche I know what shades I need!
I shall skip the blush duos. My Tom Ford blushes are unfortunately not my favourites.
Velvet Orchid has been the signature scent of the past spring/summer for me.
Hi BP
Ther seems quite a jump from 2 – 3 -I initially would have chosen 2 for myself-I am 4 in the original TF stick as this would be lighter and work well as an under eye concealer as 3 look dark for under the eye-which shade are u using and any advise-also I am 5,5 in Amrani foundations -thank u.-

Hello!
I agree…I was surprised at the jump and would suggest #2 a concealer…that is my shade match as well ; )
