It’s fair to say makeup is more expensive than it ever has been but that doesn’t stop beauty lovers from treating themselves at Sephora, Myer and MECCA on a bi-weekly basis.
And while there are plenty of makeup artist-led brands like Pat McGrath and Make Up For Ever producing top-notch products, designer fashion brands like Tom Ford are staying in step with their beauty offerings.
In recent month,s Tom Ford’s Shade and Illuminate palette has gained momentum with the help of TikTok creators who are raving about its subtle contouring and lightening of the cheekbones.

“Tom Ford has produced some beautiful shades that really sculpted the face,” one buyer said.
The one catch? It’s $154.
While I’d normally baulk at a product with that price tag on it, it’s hard to deny how popular these product — which comes in four different shades — has become.
Tom Ford’s philosophy of sculpting individual features through light and symmetry has inspired the duo palette, which is now presented with an “upgraded” formula to effortlessly sculpt features.
The formulation is infused with moisturising botanical oils so it blends seamlessly into the skin for a natural dimension.
Simply use the darker shade for depth and the lighter shade to enhance high points or combine both to customise intensity.
Myer even sells an accompanying Shade and Illuminate Brush which helps to apply the cream-based product most effectively.
It’s recommended that the wearer applies a translucent finishing powder to help control shine.
“Works great. Can create any shade. Nice finish so would definitely recommend,” one reviewer wrote.
“Soft as butter, applies well and very blendable. Perfect to warm up the face,” said another.
A third added: “Amazing product… even the packaging is perfect. Love love!”
