Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Color in Pink Dusk

Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Color in Pink Dusk

You probably noticed I am not the biggest fan of Tom Ford's marketing strategy. But this summer, Tom Ford's Private Blend Lip Color has become my favorite lipstick. For the last month, I have been using this lipstick, and I have to declare this lipstick as one of the best I have tried. The sleek retro-style packaging, silky smooth texture and amazing color pay-off also make it a winner.

Private Blend Lip Color comes in 12 shades from nudes, pinks, corals, reds, plums to browns. I was thinking of getting Vanilla Suede that is a pale beige nude. But since I have Shiseido's Perfect Rouge in BE109 Spiced Cream (also pale nude-based), I decided to look for something with a bit more color instead.

This lipstick has a hint of vanilla scent. It is a mid-tone dusty nude pink without shimmer. The color is slightly on the warmer side. I think it is a universally flattering shade for a wide range of skin tones.

Private Blend Lip Color has a creamy smooth consistency. It glides on smoothly, and blends easily.

It is richly pigmented, and shows its true color on my lips. The finish is satin matte with a soft, moist feel. The color has a fairly good staying power.

What also makes Private Blend Lip Color stand out is its rectangular ivory and gold packaging. The white and gold combination is rare and unique in the market. The packaging design has a structural vibe, and looks just clean and exquisite from every angle.

I have been keeping my eye on other shades in the lineup like True Coral and Blush Nude. As Private Blend Lip Color is priced at USD$45 each, I have been limiting myself to just having Pink Dusk for now. However, I am absolutely looking forward to more makeup products by Tom Ford in the future.

Thank you so much for reviewing this. I have had my eye on this lipstick, was even thinking about the same color! lol. I thought the vanilla might wash me out? Dunno, I'm pretty pale. There is a huge price tag on this lipstick and I was wondering if it were more than a pretty package.. ever since I saw Tom Ford's movie, " A Single Man" I have been wondering/trying to guess what color Julianne Moore wears .. thanks!

Hi there,

Thank you very much for stopping by. I am sorry that I do not know what color Julianne Moore wears in A Single Man.

Do let me know what you think of Pink Dusk after you try it out. It has absolutely become my favorite lipstick in terms of quality and shade. I hope you will like it too.

I'm so tempted to get my hands on a TF lipstick, and the two shades I'm having to decide between are Pink Dusk and Blush Nude.

Both seem to be super pretty colors, and I just love nude shades too much for I would ever think that I already have too much nudes, haha...

But then, I think I do not have such a pink/rose color like Pink Dusk in my collection yet.

So, it might be more reasonable, if I get Pink Dusk first, hm? Argh, too hard to make a decision out of these two! ;)
