Tomford SHADE AND ILLUMINATE SOFT RADIANCE FOUNDATION SPF 50
Hey everyone so Tomford came out with a new foundation, the Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance foundation. (I also got the cushion from the line too, link below).
And if you want to see a full unboxing and swatch video. here it is. I’m on Youtube as Princess Peach.
Here’s the brand’s description:

SHAKE WELL. APPLY TO CLEAN OR PRIMED SKIN. USE TOM FORD SHADE AND ILLUMINATE FOUNDATION BRUSH TO WORK FROM THE CENTER OF THE FACE OUTWARDS FOLLOWING THE CONTOURS OF THE FACE.
Despite the brand describing it as medium yo full coverage, I feel like the finish is quite sheer to medium coverage and enhances your natural skin, making it a little glowy and healthy, rather than for coverage. It can be build up of course but when I tried it at the counter the BA lightly applied it for me and I looked glowy, not cakey, and definitely not full coverage.
The sunscreen scent is quite obvious here, since it’s SPF 50, but I don’t mind at all. The more the better!
Now I also did swatches of all the available shades at my local counter. Hope its somewhat useful.
