Tom Ford is known for his dazzling collections of clothes and accessories, but have any of you heard of his makeup line? Tom Ford came out with a successful lipstick collection last June and to follow it up he is coming out with his own makeup collection. The makeup line is expected to come out in the following month. Forget soft nude colors because Tom Ford is all about bold, popping colors! Along with Ford’s new line he has 10 commandments for makeup that go hand-in-hand with his upcoming collection:
You don’t need any sleep to look radiant- if you have Tom Ford Traceless Foundation Stick and finishing powder on hand: The trick is to use stick foundation and then some powder to finish off the “I got plenty of sleep last night” look.
Get a dressing table now: No more putting on makeup in the car or on the go in order to get your makeup done just right…GET A DRESSING TABLE!
Manners maketh makeup: There are only a few exceptions to putting on makeup in front of people and that is as Tom Ford explains, “If you have a gorgeous hand and gorgeous mannerisms and a gorgeous compact”.
Makeup is the new IT bag: Change it and you don’t need a new frock: One outfit can turn into 10 outfits with the change of makeup.
Thou shalt wear “full on” color for evening: Wear bold and bright colors when you go out. Try something new!
If you don’t have a long neck, draw it: You can draw in any shape of face you want by basically adding brightening and a darker cream. Ford has made sure that makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury (who helped create the line) will be training the beauty advisors so everyone can know how to create these new looks.
Change your eyebrows-avoid plastic surgery: If you ever feel like trying something new, change your eyebrows and give yourself a bit of a makeover.
Old Hollywood glamour is the best Hollywood glamour: Tom Ford says “women should do the same as I did when starting my brand: What colors do I always like? What was my favorite period of makeup? What am I comfortable in?... And just thinking about those things, you can start to put together who you are. Then stick with it.”
Bitter B** is the new Vamp: Brown nail polish.
It’s chic to wear jeans and a T-shirt and be made-up: Ford said “They grew up in the hip-hop moment of nothing, so they’ve reacted against that and want to be glamorous. They want a lacquered lip.”
