It’s Shine Time for Lids With Tom Ford’s Sleek, Wet-Looking $36 Eye Gloss

November 28th, 2017 by Karen 13 Comments

Lids: New $36 Tom Ford Eye Gloss; Lips: NARS Give It Up Powermatte Lip Pigment

FACT: if you thought this was a new lip gloss…

Shiny, non-sticky and lots of fun

…you aren’t the only one. I actually put it on my lips at first (whoops) and, FYI, it is a pretty good clear lip gloss (unofficially), but it’s even better on your eyes.

It’s comfy, clear, shiny and non-sticky (yay!). It’s Tom Ford’s new $36 Eye Gloss, and it’s part of the new Eyes of Tom Ford collection available now.

The release also includes the new Private Shadow eyeshadow singles (30 shades, $36 each), three mascaras (Spike, Shutter and Fullscreen, $45 each) and two new shades of Eye Kohl Intense liner (White Smoke and Tourmaline, $36 each).

Tom’s Eye Gloss is a lot like Rouge Bunny Rouge’s awesome Smithereens of Stars, which is really the only other super comfortable clear gloss I’ve found that I can wear for long periods of time.

Like RBR’s Eye Gloss, Tom’s is lightweight and resilient, and it doesn’t scoot around on my lids or creep into my lash lines. So, your tight line and mascara won’t smudge. Also, when you blink your eyes, you won’t feel the gloss sticking to your crease.

For me, RBR’s clear eye gloss had been the gold standard for years, but TF’s may have it beat. I think it’s just as comfy, and the shine lasts even longer.

RBR’s eye gloss slowly fades into a soft, reflective sheen, which I also like, but TF’s looks wet all day long, so you don’t have to retouch halfway through the day.

Basically, I’m feelin’ it!

The flocked applicator makes it easy to apply to your lids.

I like to pair dewy, clear lids with bright lips and dramatic lashes. I think it’s a lot of visual bang for your buck, but if you’re feeling adventurous, drawing in some wicked sharp winged liner is one way to take things up a notch.

You can also layer clear eye gloss on top of eyeshadow, but if you do, expect your lids to get progressively more rock ‘n’ roll (a.k.a. messy) throughout the day.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I l-o-v-e this look! It’s basically what I did all summer, minus the eye gloss: glowing skin, bare eyes, and bright clean lips. The eye gloss just makes it even better. I’ll definitely have to check this out at the counter!!

      Thanks, Katie! This is one of my fave looks, too. The Eye Gloss is on the pricier side, but it’s “almost” affordable compared to other Tom Ford items. 🙂

      Thank you, Jan! 🙂 I keep meaning to ask you about your Hourglass Ambient Strobe palette. Did you end up liking it? I hope so.

    Hi Karen
    Wow! Looks really nice and I love how nice it looks with a bright lippie .
    Would you still prep your eyelids with an eye primer ?

      Hi Bebe,

      Nah, I don’t even bother with primer. I know the gloss is going to move anyway so I figure might as well save some time and product. 🙂

      If you do try a look like this I suggest having a waterproof mascara around, just in case the gloss creeps into your lashes.

    Wow! I have a feeling this is the eye gloss I’ve been waiting for!! I got a couple of the Milk Makeup ones… and they’re probably not my worst purchase ever, but not far from it. They crease in about 30mins on me, no matter how little product I apply…! Excited about this TF one tho. And the Soleil Bloom LE highlighter that came out recently. If only money grew on trees. 🙂

      Hi Lex,

      I think with eye glosses you have to expect a degree of creasing. They’re mobile and so designed to move around a bit. This one thankfully only moves around a little bit.

      I hope you’re doing well. It’s been a while!

        Yeah I know !! My thesis deadline is in March 2018 – so trying to balance that with the full-time job … I’ve kept on stalking your blog, but I stayed quiet as I was usually reading it on the bus or before bedtime. The makeup mania is helping me along tho!

    Progressively more rock´n´roll is such a nice way to describe it.

    Hi Karen!

    This eye gloss looks amazing! I will check it out… but as much as I want to pay attention to this one I have to ask you to do a post on your favorite skincare products or your skincare routine, your skin is just so beautiful, hydrated and glowy… please do!

    Xoxo

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
