Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation Cushion Compact

When I saw these two new Tom Ford releases upcoming, I was so excited-I have been so impressed with every Tom Ford complexion product I've tried. As Tom Ford says himself, a flawless complexion is key to creating your entire look...From the Primer to the Powders and Cheek Shades(cream and powder) to the Traceless Foundations, I fell in love. But when I saw the description of Shade and Illuminate(in this case Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Cushion Compact) I was expecting a luxurious, elevated formula and finish, and that is exactly what you get with this product. This is actually my very first Cushion Compact Foundation, and the way in which the product just melds so beautifully into the skin to give you a luminous, fresh, youthful finish really blew me away. You can feel the luxurious ingredients in the formula in how it gives you the best of both worlds- gorgeous, buildable coverage that still allows you to achieve a flawless, luminous complexion complexion; but also a very natural 'second skin' finish. That is what one wants to achieve with foundation-you want to your skin to look like skin-fresh, healthy polished. It wears very well and the application is SO easy. The applicator that comes with it picks up exactly the right amount of product and you can go back in if you need more. As I mentioned, it blends flawlessly and 'melds' into the skin. Simply impeccable! The compact it comes in-case included-is so elegant and is the epitome of luxury. Yes, the price is higher than Tom Ford's previous foundations, but the formula and the performance completely justifies that investment. When you re-purchase it, you will only have to purchase the refill which is very nice as well! It's an absolute delight and I couldn't recommend it more wholeheartedly. I'm now looking forward to purchasing the Shade and Illuminate Liquid Foundation-thank you to the amazing Beautylish Team for continuing to ship products so quickly despite everything right now!
