When it comes to icons, Tom Ford ranks as number 1 for me. Makeup collection aside, his whole philosophy on life from what I’ve read about him anyway, echo’s mine. I’m a little obsessed.
So with that said, you would think that I own a whole bunch of his makeup products, being a makeup artist and some kind of superfan. Sadly my Tom Ford cosmetics count stands at zero. I have a mortgage, and two children, one of whom is an image conscious teenager with a penchant for Supreme clothing and Yeezy’s. So when it comes to splashing out £50 on an eyeshadow, right now, it just wouldn’t seem quite right. F*cking Mum guilt at it’s finest!
I have a wishlist board on Pinterest (who doesn’t?) and one of the main things that I’m really longing for from it is the Tom Ford Eyeshadow Double Decked in ‘Naked Bronze.’ Maybe soon my Mum guilt will evaporate enough that I allow myself to make the purchase. Or maybe my biggest dream will come true and Tom will turn out to be my long-lost Uncle (my surname is actually Ford, I’m not completely reaching here!)
Anyway until either of the above happen I decided I’d recreate a look using less expensive products. I hope this helps out any of you that are in a similar boat to me. And by boat, I mean dingy as opposed to a luxury Yacht.
Products used~
Maybelline Colour Tattoo ‘On And On Bronze’
Gosh Metallic Eye Shadow Stick ‘Light Copper’
Urban Decay Eyeshadow ‘Sidecar’
Primark Lashes ‘Sultry’
I know I technically cheated using MAC and Urban Decay Products, but they are kind of drugstore budget when compared to the Tom Ford range. The lashes aren’t my favourite if I’m honest. But on the whole, I really love the finished look. From images I’ve seen, the Tom Ford duo gives more of a wet look finish, which I know I would really appreciate, and is why it will be sticking around on my wishlist.
