Tom Ford Lip Color: Sable Smoke 14

October 6, 2011

Tom Ford Sable Smoke #14 ($48) is a creamy caramel honey nude. It’s officially now my perfect honey nude for my pigmented lips and medium-toned skin. Full smooth coverage with a non-drying formula and beautiful finish. Has a wonderful delicious vanilla scent. Doesn’t wash me out. Lasting power better than the average lipstick. Luxurious feel on the lips. Need I say more?

A few comparisons below. When swatched next to other peaches or nudes you can see how Sable Smoke is more of a caramel honey color. L to R: Tom Ford Sable Smoke, Edward Bess Pure Impulse, Burberry Romantic Rose, Chanel Cashmere Rouge Coco and D&G Almond.

Here is one more set of swatch comparisons (actual lipsticks aren’t shown, only swatches). Below, L to R is MAC Viva Glam Gaga, MAC Freckletone, MAC Gel, MAC Creme de Nude, YSL Rouge Volupte #2.

Bottom line: LOVE. I’m slowly working my way with reviews/swatches of all the new Tom Ford Lipsticks I purchased. To date, my favorite is Spanish Pink and Pink Dusk. You can see the full lineup here. The ones I purchased swatched here.

    This is a beautiful shade! Looks like a perfectly warm nude. I'll definitely be looking into this next time I go by the Tom Ford counter.

    Oh, OH. That is GORGEOUS! Do all Tom Ford lipstick have a bit of shine to them?

  • Sabrina October 6, 2011 at 4:09 am

    Romzs – so far all the ones I have tried do have a bit of a natural shine to them. I haven't tried the darker colors or the brights though, so not sure if it applies to all the colors.

    Looks luscious! The Tom Ford counter at Heathrow T3 Duty Free (and T5) is now open, so I will check it out!

    Absolutely gorgeous on you. I can confirm that the brighter shades also have that glossy finish when first applied, although they do wear down to a more stain finish after a couple of hours.

    Beautiful shades – can't wait to try one!

    Oh wow that is gorgeous… I own Moroccan Rouge but I might have to get a nude tone too… It's one my my favorite lipsticks because it's so soft and moisturizing: even a darker color like Moroccan Rouge never chaps, cracks or dries, it only fades away leaving lips always soft.

    I think this shade looks really, really great on you!

    I'm tempted, but the vanilla scent and $48 price tag are deterrents for me. Which of the other swatches do you find closest in color on your lips? I think I am pretty similar in coloring to you.

    very pretty! by the way, do you know where to get the tom ford eyeshadow palettes? I've scoured the internet and it doesn't look like they're being sold anywhere. will you be reviewing any?? thanks!
