The Tom Ford Shade Contour Duo was such a popular product for Tom Ford, that they've just launched the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation in the same range. The Tom Ford Shade Contour Duo is a compact containing a cream bronzer, as well as a cream highlighter for a beautifully dewy finish. Now Tom Ford is a very expensive beauty brand, but the price of this foundation is going to make your eyes water.

The Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation is a very expensive $150 – I'm not even joking. I can't believe any brand can justify a foundation with a price as high as that, but it's supposedly down to the fact that it contains skincare benefits as well as being a foundation. Whilst it's not available in the UK just yet, it won't be long until it does.
The foundation is available in 40 shades, and has the sleekest foundation packaging I've ever seen with a glass bottle framed with gold metal. There's no doubt that it's beautiful, but I just couldn't justify paying that kind of money for a foundation, skincare benefits or not. I've not seen any reviews yet, but it'll be interesting to see what people thought of the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation.
