Tomford Liquid Highlighters - Skin Illuminator in Firelust, Glow Drops in Glacial Galore, Reflects Guilt
Hello everyone so after I posted all about the Tom Ford cushions and foundation, now is the blog on liquid highlighters! Below are the links to the foundations and cushions I mentioned about.
I own 3 Tomford liquid highlighters currently. Tomford Liquid Highlighters - Skin Illuminator in Firelust, Glow Drops in Glacial Galore, Reflects Guilt. I also own several powder highlighters but its just the liquid ones for this blog. Below is an unboxing and swatch video in case you’re interested. I’m on Youtube as Princess Peach.
OK Starting off with the Glow Drops!
Brand’s description: TRANSLUCENT. SILKY. HIGHLIGHTING.
ILLUMINATION IS ESSENTIAL TO THE TOM FORD FACE. THE SILKY FLUID GELEE TEXTURE CAN BE USED ON ANY SKIN TONE TO CREATE STROBED LUMINOSITY IN YOUR DESIRED WAY TO ILLUMINATE - RADIANT METALLIC BRONZE OR ETHEREAL GLACIAL GLOW.THE DROPS HIGHLIGHT AND DEFINE BONE STRUCTURE, CREATING PERFECTLY BALANCED SYMMETRY WITH SMOOTH APPLICATION. BLENDS FLAWLESSLY ONTO SKIN FOR INSTANT GLOW. BLENDS EASILY INTO TOM FORD LIQUID FOUNDATION FOR A SCULPTED LOOK. LIGHT IS SOFTENED AND DIFFUSED FOR A SMOOTH FINISH.
The bottle is a push applicator where the liquid would drop from the tube.
The finish is quite sheer compared to other brands of liquid highlighters. Like the description says, it is more “radiant” than shimmery. More like a glow from within. I generally prefer blinding highlighters because I mix them with foundation, so with these Glow Drops I had to use a bit more than usual to get the glow to want.
That being said, I think these are better to be used alone, directly dabbing on cheeks or nose or forehead. But thaat’s just me, maybe you will like them mixed in with your foundation.
Next is the original Skin Illuminator in Firelust. The brand has now changed the packaging but the one I own was the original packaging.
Brand’s description:
INSPIRED BY THE LOOK OF SKIN BATHED IN SUMMER EVENING LIGHT, THIS ILLUMINATOR CREATES AN IRRESISTIBLE, TRANSLUCENT GLOW. ITS PEACH PINK SHADE FLATTERS EVERY SKIN TONE AND ITS HIGHLY MICRONIZED PEARLS DIFFUSE LIGHT FOR A NATURALLY ENHANCED, SUN-KISSED LOOK. APPLY THE ILLUMINATOR ALL OVER THE FACE ON ITS OWN, OR MIXED WITH TOM FORD TRACELESS FOUNDATION, TO ACHIEVE RADIANT AND BALANCED SKIN. THE ILLUMINATOR CAN ALSO BE USED AS A HIGHLIGHTER UNDER OR OVER MAKEUP.
For Firelust, I really like mixing this with my foundation because it had a bit more shimmer and it’s a great way to warm up any foundation that’s too light (or for when I’m too tanned).
