Glass reviews Tom Ford Liquid Metal Lip Lacquer

THE Lip Lacquer collection from Tom Ford launched just last month, and what a thrill it was to get my hands on this new formula. I am a make-up lover, and rarely leave the house without it. Those rare times I do, the one thing I tend not to go without is some form of lip product, even in shades that match my own natural lip colour. Thus, I am always keen to experiment with new lip products, especially the more daring for late London evenings and city nights. Here I find myself with a new favourite – Tom Ford Lip Lacquer in Copper Chic.

Tom Ford Liquid Metal Lip Lacquer in Copper Chic

The Lacquer is a liquid gel which comes in three forms – Liquid Matte, Liquid Metal and Liquid Patent, with eighteen shades in total (six for each). Upon first trying Copper Chic (liquid metal) I was immediately met with surprise. I almost couldn’t believe the intensity of the shine. With just one coat from the doe-foot applicator, my lips were drenched in the most opaque colour.

It gave me that serious beauty look, and left me feeling like I had walked straight from the catwalk at fashion week. Incredibly dreamy. Intense. Futuristic. The name is fitting, as my lips appeared coated in liquid copper – that deliciously rich orange-brown colour. On top of this, the gloss has a sweet smell, like vanilla or chocolate. Who doesn’t want tasty smelling lips?

A second surprise was the lightweight texture of something that appears so powerful. It slightly stains the lips, which I think adds to its long-lasting wear. Lips drenched in shine, it isn’t shifting anytime soon. And as it is enriched with moisturisers, lips are kept feeling comfortable and soft all day or all night long. A go-to product for summer 2018, the reflective shine looks dazzling in the sunshine and the light nights. These are my new party lips.
