Fall Product Review: Tom Ford Amber Nude II Collection Bronzer and Brush at Estée Lauder
What They Say: (about The Bronzer) "Now, your skin and your senses are under the influence of Tom Ford. The message is nude. A makeup collection that reflects Tom Ford's provocative philosophy. Real gold in the makeup gives it a gilded, glamorous edge. Tom Ford on the collection: 'This collection is very much my philosophy of beauty. I've concentrated only on nude shades for the lips and nails. This is what I always really like...a neutral mouth, beautiful skin and a dramatic, strong eye. One look that works for many skintones.'" (about The Brush) *We don't have an official description at press time.
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: From the excitedly-anticipated Amber Nude II collection, this bronzer is more Fall-appropriate than the Azurée bronzer from this summer. This one is more tan and less tawny, and fairly subtle. The color doesn't turn orange at all as the day wears on and it stays put. Also, the compact is very generously-sized - about 50% wider in diameter than normal compacts.
The brush is incredibly soft and easy-to-handle. It helps to apply the bronzer evenly in just a few swipes. It's gentle on your face and just using it adds some glamour to the process of getting ready.
Retail Prices:
(The Bronzer) $60.00
(The Brush) $35.00

Fall Product Review: Tom Ford Amber Nude II Collection Bronzer and Brush at Estée Lauder:
This looks so pretty on you! I almost got this last weekend, but instead got the Amber Bronze Cool Bronze Loose Powder... I think it might be a little too bronze for fall, though.

Ooh...will you be reviewing other products from this line? I'm dying to know what exactly the face gloss and eye gloss *are* as well as how they perform.
