I’m not going to lie, this is a beautiful shade ( tempting blue is what I chose to review, though I have five). It actually is a color shifting shadow. You turn and it’s purple another way it’s blue. It says in the back that it’s a “secret ombré “ a fact I wish they had in the description of each shadow in this finish. This is incredibly small. Be prepared for that. However, it’s so pigmented that you only need a little. It goes on with a medium build, making it possible to use as a topper or packed on for full opacity. Other cream singles for a little less don’t have that option. The sparkle is totally wearable to the office or a party. It’s not hyper glitter, it’s five steps beyond that. The formula is smooth like a cream. I find it goes on better with a finger in this finish. The small size is like a square of good chocolate, and is an amazing addition to a travel makeup bag. So discreet and easier to maneuver than a big clunky TF palette for those days you’re carrying a clutch. This is a real luxury product, know that going in. However, I suspect you’ll see some of these finishes again. Still, but two of you can. Half a star off for the packaging which I thought could have done a better job to make up for the size ( different color, slide opening , etc) . That said, this could hit the ground and it wouldn’t shatter so I guess that’s a plus. Half a star off for the fact that there’s a matte black in this collection at this price point. I mean, really? I only recommend the vinyl and the P finish.

I honestly do not own this product, my friend owns it, but i wish I did. I’ve used it a couple of times and really love how Pigmented the colors are. The blend so well, and look nice on. If I could afford to pay 40$ for an eyeshadow I would definitely buy this for myself.

I really love Burnt Suede, the shade of Tom Ford Private Shadow I chose. It's the perfect taupe brown with a very subtle glow to it, almost undetectable. It makes the shadow very unique and special. It's great for all over the lid or in the crease to create dimension. The shadow is very blendable, soft, and creamy. No fallout and lasts all day even without primer. The color is just as pigmented without primer also. I plan to get Iris Bronze and Body Double. They are tiny but will still last a long time and if you love a shade, go for it!!

Very great pigmented eyeshadow! Blends perfectly with other eye shadows. It’s pretty pricey but if you’re one to spurge for a good product, this is for you! Nice packaging, doesn’t have a smell and doesn’t have an awful amount of fallout.

I personally don't own this but my friend does an I've used it the quality is amazing the blending ability is phenomenal I definitely recommend this eyeshadow but it is a splurge item but worth it

The eye shadow is very powerful, the pigmentation is incredibly strong and durable, it is not dusty and if texture is great

I so want this Tom Ford eyeshadow, is it pigmented they look great and matte, is it easy to apply n blend? Love this

They are well pigmented, the color is wonderful and the texture is very easy to apply. I recommend it a lot!

They are very small for the price. The pigment is okay. I'm not totally impressed coming from this brand.

I have 3 of these shadows, and I really like them!

Smoked Opaline is an olive green colour with golden shimmer. It is a tad more powdery and doesn’t apply quite as nicely as the other two. Still very pretty!

Videotape is a dark reddish-brown shade with subtle shimmer and a satin finish. Beautiful shade! And it applies well.

Blue Velvet is my favourite of the 3! It’s a gorgeous navy blue with fine silver shimmer. So beautiful! Reminds of the night sky!

These are ridiculously expensive for what you get, and if it’s your first time buying Tom Ford, I would recommend buying one of his quad palettes instead. The packaging, however, is super cute!
