Tom Ford Beauty is undeniably one of my favorite brands. I have most recently fallen head over heels for his brush range, so I will be reviewing 5 out of 6 total eye brushes today. The missing brush is the Eyeliner and Definer, which I hope to review at a later date. The weight distribution on these brushes is quite even, so they feel perfectly balanced and steady in the hand. See the individual details for each brush as well as photos with comparisons after the jump!
I am a liner and lashes kinda gal.. I know the look isn't for everyone, but I think the look is timeless. That is why I am finally sitting down to share my favorite false eyelash styles with you! I have tried dozens from drugstore brands and luxury brands, but these reviewed are the ones that I consistently repurchase and reach for the most. Though my House of Lashes styles are brand new, and I have definitely not worn them nearly as much as any of the other lashes shown in this video, I know the Temptress will be my new tried & true for long flared looks since the full-sized Ardell Wispies have changed since I first bought them years ago. Now, enough ramble.. let's get straight into it!

Tom Ford released his new Illuminating Highlight Pens last year, but I have only just been able to experiment with these dreamy, versatile products. There are shimmery and matte shades, available at Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman, all swatched and described toward end of the post. Click below to see more photos!
From Harrods.com: Tom Ford believes in balance and symmetry. The illuminating highlight pen allows you to enhance, contour or diminish your features to create the appearance of symmetry. The range includes eight highly micronized shades: four tones that catch the light and bring focus to the cheekbones and eyes to create balance and symmetry (Citrine, Lavender Voile, Peach Blush and Liquid Bronze) and four tones that act as skin-priming concealers to diminish flaws and shadows (Naked Bisque, Dusk Bisque, Amber Éclat and Sable Intense). All eight tones work to soften and diffuse light for a smooth and undetectable finish.
