No one brings the drama like Tom Ford. This lipstick, color 16 scarlet rouge, is no exception. The case alone screams drama, with its square gold corners and surprising amount of heft. It feels good to hold: heavy, and expensive. The color is a little on the warm side for me, as I prefer cooler toned reds, but it glides on beautifully, whether you’re using a lip brush, blotting it on and blending, or straight up applying from the tube right to your lips. And it stays. Of course, at least with my experience, I find the staying power of lipstick lies with the preparation rather than the product itself, but even with minimal prep (I used a thick balm as a base) the color stayed on my lips throughout a steak house dinner. A matte lipstick, it has a creaminess that feels ... MoreNo one brings the drama like Tom Ford. This lipstick, color 16 scarlet rouge, is no exception.

this is the type of product I would probably not go out of my way to buy. I don't know much about the brand and have never really been drawn to the products, it was a pleasant surprise. I'm not one to be wowed by packaging, as long as it's functional and doesn't fall apart, I'm good, however it does have a sleek simple look and is sturdy. what I'm really loving is the actual lipstick, not necessarily the color because I don't really wear reds like this anymore and haven't really since I was in my teens. the formula of this lipstick is really nice and It coats the lips with a smooth application and has a weightless feel which I like a lot. the one huge thing that I really like is lipsticks that don't have a taste, even that "makeup" taste that some lipsticks have is ...

I almost forgot that I had this on when I was eating something and licked my lips before I remembered and I was surprised to see that there was no taste or smudging and the lipstick was still intact on my lips without any wear. it's not budge proof or anything but if you have to gently dab or lick your lips it's not going to disturb the application and that was a huge plus for me because if you don't have it on you for touching up or if you're like me and I just remove my lipstick whenever I eat or drink anything it's nice to not have to worry about it. my lips chap horribly and they peel several times a day because the skin on my lips seems to grow back fast so my lips are always dry and chapped if I don't keep them hydrated and moisturized and I was happy to see that I could wear this and my lips don't dry out and I can get a decent amount of wear time before reapplying it. the coverage goes on sheer at first and is buildable. if you want a longer wear and a more opaque coverage you would have to wear a lip liner with this shade. I like the fact that it's kind of sheer and I don't usually like to bother with wearing lip liners and things because I am a no hassle makeup wearer, I like to just be able to apply and go without a lot of extra steps unless it's for a special occasion. I think I would legitimately consider buying a more everyday type of shade of this because even though it's more on the higher price range than I usually go for I really do like the wear and the formula of this lipstick. for a skin tone reference I usually wear nw25 from mac, I'm a light to medium skin tone, more on the neutral side...

I have absolutely no idea how I ended up with a bright red lipstick. I assure you I NEVER would have chosen this color, and opted out if reds were my only choice. I don't wear red lipstick, ever. It washes me out and makes me looks even more pale and my dark circles even worse. That being said, it showed up, and it is Tom Ford after all, so I wasn't going to let it sit there. It is a much brighter/orangier red than it appears in the tube. While it is a very buttery lipstick I noticed 2 things right away, and this could be the color as opposed to the actual lipstick. First is that I found it very hard to get on evenly. Granted, my lips are uneven, but this exaggerated it like no other lipstick. I usually put lipstick on in the car without even looking, but I also ... MoreI have absolutely no idea how I ended up with a bright red lipstick.

First is that I found it very hard to get on evenly. Granted, my lips are uneven, but this exaggerated it like no other lipstick. I usually put lipstick on in the car without even looking, but I also usually wear a shade fairly close to my natural lip color. The second thing I noticed is that I thought it was feathering at first, but I realized it was just exaggerating the wrinkles around my lips. I'm a former smoker, and have never noticed the "old lady smoker" lips until I put this on. Again, I feel both were most likely more the color than the actual lipstick. I really liked the formula itself. It was super moisturizing, I actually forgot I had lipstick on at one point. It does seem to be a bit more long lasting than other lipsticks, but it could be the color staining my lips. All in all I think it's a good lipstick, but the color is so terribly wrong for me I'll never wear it again.... Show more

What can I say - TF knows what he is doing. It is my favorite lipstick of all times. I believe I went originally to Sephora to get Pink Dusk, but trying it at the store Paper Doll looked so much better on me. As always, the lipstick is buttery and very pigmented. I love it on my lips, I always get complements when I am wearing it - it is my winter color, it might be a bit too pale for the summer and for my tan. And the feeling is high lux, the bullet is sexy, heavy, elegant. Everything TF is famous for. It opened the whole new expensive world of TF products for me. One minus - as often with TF it is Limited edt. I am using it sparingly.... Show more

I received this product complimentary for testing purposes. Scarlet Rouge is a really fabulous red lipstick! The formula is super creamy and the shade of red is so bright and punchy without leaning too orange. I'd describe it as a bright, true red. The finish is pretty satiny which isn't usually my go-to but it gives this bold color a really sexy vibe. Worn alone the color starts out a little sheer but can be built up to full coverage. I'm wearing it with a red lip liner in the picture which gives it a deeper color and longer wear. The packaging is heavy and feels so luxe! My one and only complaint is that I don't love the shape of the Tom Ford bullets, they're a little too wide for my taste, but overall this is a fabulous lipstick, and I would absolutely recommend ...

I love matte lipsticks because they tend to last much longer and more natural but it’s hard to find one that is not drying out your lips. This lipstick is paraben-free, sulfate-free and talc-free so you can assure you’re not ingesting any harmful chemicals. It’s highly pigmented, creamy and glides on beautifully. The shade is flattering and truly matte but also gives the lips a moisturized feeling not chapping out your lips like other matte lipsticks. With long lasting formula, you barely see color comes out when eating or drinking. Comfortable for all day wear. Packaging is beautiful and elegant. Definitely would recommend this lipstick!...

I am a cosmetic maniac and I was a big fan of Tom Ford’s eyeshadows! Now, I can also say that I’m a big fan of Tom Ford lipsticks! This matte lipstick is amazing! The design of the product is traditionally chic and looks very expensive - gloss black with gold outlines, with TF engraving on the top of the lid. Lipstick does not rub on the case, the lid closes until it clicks. It has a sharp diagonal tip and it’s very convenient for drawing the contour of the lips, so I don't use a contouring pencil The color is an excellent balance of red and brown. I absolutely love these shades, they look expensive and elegant The lipstick has a creamy texture with a pleasant vanilla scent. The product glides over the lips, enveloping them in luxurious color.

It doesn’t emphasize the dry parts of the lips and does not flow out of the contour. The finish is satin matte, very lively and sexy. It is comfortable on the lips and does not dry them out like most matte lipsticks (for instance my YSL matte lipstick dries out my lips instantly). It is fairly long-lasting. If you do not eat at all, then it will last from the morning to the night in its original form, without blurring, without losing its color, etc. In general, I drink coffee with a bagel with it, and after such a snack, changes are minimal. The pigment is persistent, even when I use my micellar water, my lips still remain a reddish tint. I will definitely replenish the collection with other shades.

I was super stoked to receive this Tom Ford Lip Color from Influenster for testing purposes, right in time for the holidays Happy for a little holiday cheer after a long year! The shade I received is 03 Casablanca— I would describe this lippie as a dusty mauve tone and it’s on the neutral to cooler side of the spectrum in terms of undertone. It glides on super easy and requires no tugging or pulling on the lip. It is very buttery and leaves a satin/gloss finish, which at the moment— feels a little heavy for my taste. This is only because I’ve been wearing mostly only tinted balm since COVID has us all wearing masks all the time. It’s a gorgeous color, nonetheless!

I feel like it’ll be one of those that I’ll tap on instead of sliding on in the future, just because of how thick and pigmented it is. It also has a scent that screams lipstickkk—which I think could be a little strong for some. I normally would prefer a warm-toned, matte, minimally scented liquid lip. Regardless, I’m grateful I had the opportunity to give it a try!... Show more

This review is for the shade Thomas which is a matte light neutral plum. I love this color for the fall and winter months and it makes me feel really put together without having to wear a red lip. It isn’t too vampy or gothic and doesn’t give me 80s flashbacks or Kardashian vibes. It’s a great shade if you have light to medium skin and the color is quite opaque so your natural lip color doesn’t really impact how it wears on you. Even though it’s a matte shade it isn’t at all drying and wears evenly. I maybe reapplied once during a pre-pandemic night out. It’s pricey for what it is, but I feel like I’m paying for the quality product and not the packaging even though the packaging is also quite lovely. My favorite lipstick brand is Chanel, but they don’t have a shade ... MoreThis review is for the shade Thomas which is a matte light neutral plum.

My favorite lipstick brand is Chanel, but they don’t have a shade in their lineup quite like this. The clutch size size is amazing when you have limited space in your purse or clutch. I never reach the bottom of a lipstick tube, so the amount of product doesn’t bother me and I actually prefer the smaller tube size. Highly recommend!... Show more
