Review

Tom Ford's Illuminating Cheek Colour is the brands take on a creamy stick blush. This blush is sheer and dewy on the skin, very different to how it looks on the stick and it blends beautifully. As it is so sheer it looks great over a darker blush or bronzer, especially as a highlighter. It lasted well on my combination/oily skin, especially for such a dewy product and still looked good over a more matte effect mineral makeup when applied with a light hand. To use straight from the stick you would have to have a very minimal foundation coverage as it can look unnatural, especially with the slight shimmer when applied too heavily. Overall this is a very pretty, radiant blush for fans of a sheer coverage. I can't say this is a must have product because of the price and it won't make a dramatic difference by any means but if you are looking for one luxury item to add to your make up bag this summer, this is definitely one to consider.

Tom Ford Summer 2013 Collections

The new Tom Ford Summer 2013 collection has been arrived in stores last month and it doesn't disappoint! It is made up of products to give skin a beautiful summer glow or as the man himself said "I wanted to capture a very particular look of skin that is bathed in sunset light in the summer. It is a sultry and sublime glow. In this light, every woman looks irresistibly relaxed and sensual."
