Tom Ford Cheek Color in 05 Ravish

Sorry for being a bit MIA.  Spring Break ended up being a bit longer than I expected ;).  So, today's review is for the Tom Ford Cheek Color in Ravish.  I don't know that there are any official descriptions of the colors, so you're stuck with mine.

In online swatches, Ravish tends to look much cooler and pinker than it shows up in real life, at least in my experience.  It's a very warm almost sort of rosy tan with slight gold sparkles.  I don't think the sparkles generally translate to the skin at all and I think that sheered out on the cheeks (at least on my cheeks) it is a lot less orange leaning than it looks in these swatches.

Ravish is one of those colors that looks pretty boring in the pan, but it just looks lovely on the skin.  It has this luminous satin finish with the slightest hint of shimmer.  The texture of the blush is buttery soft and it blends and sheers out beautifully.

It's Tom Ford, so you know the price point is going to be painful - and it is, $56.  Ouch.  But it does contain a very hefty 8 grams of product.  And the packaging is to die for, like all Tom Ford products.  Even being on the pasty side of pale, this is one of my favorite blushes and I reach for it often.

Overall: 10/10

Tom Ford Cheek Color in 05 Ravish

After spending the last year and a half coveting the Tom Ford blushes, I finally picked several up this summer, mostly through trades on Make-up Alley.  The first that I'm going to review is the Tom Ford blush in Ravish.

Ravish is a warm rosy tan with a satin finish.  It is much in the same family as Tarte Exposed, Estee Lauder Rebel Rose and Benefit's Dallas.  As previously stated, I absolutely love these kinds of colors to use as a contouring blush.  I run them along the backs of my cheeks and it gives color as well as definition.

It has excellent color payoff and I think would work on just about any skin tone.  Even on my super pale skin, it isn't hard to apply lightly and I think on darker skintones you could definitely amp it up.

The texture of this blush is divine.  It is finely milled without being powdery.  It applies like a dream and blends out easily.  It lasts really well.  Mine wore for a solid 10 hours before I had noticeable fading.

The packaging, as with all Tom Ford beauty products, is outstanding.  It has the signature brown and gold high gloss packaging.  It's not too bulky, the compact is only slightly larger than the blush pan itself and it has a large mirror.

I will be the first to admit the price point on these are crazy.  The Tom For Cheek Colors contain 8 grams of product and retail for $56.  As previously stated, I swapped for mine on Makeup Alley, so I didn't pay retail, but still ... ouch.    That said, I love this blush.  I love everything about this blush and if I hadn't swapped for it, I probably would have chunked over the cash for it.

Overall:  10/10
