This eyeshadow formula is so versatile because it can blend to be a light wash, layered to be an opaque shimmer, or applied wet for a more chrome finish. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to create a look with only this palette because there are no matte shades, but all of these shades look beautiful worn on their own or applied together. ...Dry it was completely meh. I tried using it wet and that's when the magic happened.
What it is: A palette of coordinated eyeshadows that comes in a range of finishes designed to create iconic, soft-to-bold TOM FORD eyes.
What Else You Need to Know: With this palette, you can achieve multiple looks from a bold, smoky eye, to a sexy splash of color, and everything in between. The four luxurious finishes—sheer sparkle, satin, shimmer, and matte—are formulated with advanced color processes and offer a spectrum of intensity and effects. Two custom applicators are also included.
