Give it to Tom Ford when it comes to breaking the norm. While Spring is easily associated with subtle and pastel shades, this year’s collection is bursting with deep plum, jade, indigo, and all sorts of smokin’ hot sexiness (The Beauty Professor has swatches of the entire collection if you’re curious to see). I skipped the eye duos but purchased the Limited Edition Creme Color For Eyes, a bewitching khaki-mud cream eyeshadow you can use alone or as base for intense smokey eyes.
This particular eyeshadow has the creamiest consistency compared to Chanel Illusion D’Ombre, Givenchy Ombre Couture and Diorshow Fusion Mono. It’s not carved in stone but here’s what I do for seamless application: (1) I use a small flat eyeshadow brush to scoop out and then pat it on my lids (2) smudge the color with my ring finger (3) blend with crease brush to soften the edge (4) repeat until I’m satisfied with the intensity. One-color smokey eyes, of course it’s possible.
Worn over an eye primer, this cream eye shadow lasts about eight hours with very minimal fading. I didn’t experience creasing whether used as an eyeshadow or eyeliner (un-set with powder eye shadow). The quality that is Tom Ford is strikingly evident, let the following photos speak…

Did you pick up anything Spring-ish lately?
SO happy I picked this one up. It looks stunning on you!
This is so gorgeous on you, Kath! I still haven't picked it up, but it's definitely the only thing in the collection that I am considering! I love love love how it looks on you! <3
First of all, omg your pictures look absolutely amazing! I was on the fence about this e/s, because I don't really need it, but I keep hearing so many good things about it!
That looks like a gorgeous color! The swatch looks so pigmented!
Wow, your eyes look so sexy and hot! This is incredible on you!
You had me at "cream eye shadow" and that it's Tom Ford is an added bonus <3<3<3
I LOVE that Tom Ford didn't come out with pastels. I look forward to spring but tire of seeing the same shades year after year. You created such a sultry look with this!!! I can't do cream shadows that well though since they ALWAYS crease on me so I'm really happy to hear that this one didn't.
That olive smoky eye is hawt hawt hawt. I don't think I can pull that off, but I sure want to try.
These are SO pretty and creamy! <3 I love what you did using it. 🙂
This is stunning on you! Love!
You look fabulous!
You look amazing! And you're right, this isn't a color I'd normally associate with Spring.
I've thought about this so much but I'm afraid I won't really use it. It looks great on you.
Gorgeous pigmentation and your smoky eyes look fab!
So stunning! Love the one colour smoke- it looks like so much more work than it actually is 😀
holy cow that is GORGEOUS! Adding to my wish list asap
You look fabulous! I am loving that color… such a great shade for year round. Fabulous smoky shade.
OMG this absolutely gorgeous! I think I need this TF goodie in my life. It'll be my first ever TF purchase too. =)
At first I was like ehhh, I don't think this would be for me because I've never really had a great experience with cream shadows- and then I saw it on you. I NEED it! So pretty!
& I'm totally in love & want to spend all of my money. Again.
Those eyeshadows! I need!
Your photos are amazing! Also, that shadow was made for you! Stunning!
I love Tom Ford 😀
