| Tom Ford *Soleil Contouring Compact in Nude Glow and *Sheer Cheek Duo in Exotica Flora. |
For the face, there are two new compacts that build bronzing and blushing tradition we’ve come to associate with Tom Ford Soleil.
The *Tom Ford Soleil Contouring Compact in Nude Glow features a well-endowed compact rife with three shades of powder: soft and sparkling nude, creamy coral and iridescent pink. Because the nude shade is so muted, traditional contouring with it may only be a reality for extremely fair skin tones but it makes for a lovely beauty powder to accentuate one’s features in a subtle way. The coral blush is stunning…massive color payoff and little to no shimmer for a healthy and fresh-faced look and the pink highlighter gives the high points of the face a gentle glow that is endlessly pretty.
For cheeks that radiate with an alluring flush, embrace the beauty that is the *Tom Ford Sheer Cheek Duo in Exotica Flora. Finely milled with a satin finish, the coral pink and peachy papaya blushes make skin look lit-from-within, all the while imparting a rosy radiance that is sure to flatter a spectrum of skin tones.

| *Tom Ford Cream and Powder Eye Colors in Emerald Isles and Azure Sun |
For eyes, there are two breathtakingly eye-catching Tom Ford *Cream and Powder Eye Colors in Emerald Isles (a rich green and pale gold combination) and Azure Sun (a turquoise blue and muted fawn pairing). I have long been a proponent of this genius dual formula (Golden Peach seems to make an appearance on Beauty Professor at least once a week) as the cream boasts crease-free performance and the coordinating powder’s luminosity is tastefully incandescent.
The newest shades are color drenched yet delightfully wearable, tempered by their coordinating powders, which take the vibrant cream shades from bold to smoldering in exactly one coat. Although I rarely wear shades in the green and blue family on my eyes, Emerald Isles and Azure Sun have opened my mind to the possibilities, especially when combined with bronzed skin and nude lips (as demonstrated in the images at the end of this post.

About Cream and Powder Eye Color
This two-tiered eye color pairs two coveted formulas in one to create a lustrous and sexy summertime eye. The ultra-pigmented, metallic cream shadow glides onto lids with a rich, molten glow and the sparkling celestial powder intensifies the look with alluring shimmer.
 |
| *Tom Ford Lumiere Lip |
The papaya-esque *Tom Ford Lumiere Lip is sure to be a summertime staple; its transparent gel texture and hydrating formula are fantastic but I am most intrigued by the tender, custom shade that develops upon application. Working with one’s pH, Lumiere Lip transforms into a very subtle coral for lips that look juicy and fresh…prepare to be addicted.

About Lumiere Lip
Naturally-enhanced lip color with hyaluronic acid for instantly plump luminosity, the universally-flattering balm reacts to the individual wearer’s PH, creating a customized color based on natural undertones.
Why It’s Special
The bright, translucent papaya shade transforms into a personalized tint of subtle color and worship-worthy glow. Featuring anti-oxidants and natural plant extracts that soften, moisturize and condition, lumière lip is the go-to lip for fresh, full and flushed lips.
How To Use
May be applied directly to the lips from the bullet or with a lip brush.

// THE REST of MY FACE //
- Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter #4: My love affair with this innovative formula continues…this time, I applied it all over as a glowing base (more on this soon) and then strategically applied the *Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer in 2W and 3W to even things out as necessary. The combination is radiant, foundation-free perfection!
- Gucci Golden Glow Bronzer in Indian Sand (reviewed HERE): I swept this true brown bronzer in the hollows of my cheeks and around the perimeters of my face for natural-looking warmth and depth.
- Tom Ford Fiber Brow Gel in Chestnut (reviewed HERE): My brow go-to nearly every day, I love how it adds polish and dimension while making brows look feathery and full.
- Tom Ford Lipstick in Bad Lieutenant (reviewed HERE): I’ve been reaching for this perfect mauve-toned nude frequently the last couple of weeks; it’s a slightly deeper nude that possesses just enough color to effortlessly define lips.

// STYLE NOTES //
- Black off-the-shoulder top: I have no less than five versions of this classic…the cut and color works year round.
- Long cutoffs: I took a pair of mens’ 501s and cut them at an unexpected place for a not-quite-shorts, not-quite-capri look.
