About
________________________________________________________________________________
"Inspired by the look of skin bathed in summer evening light, this limited-edition Tom Ford Beauty illuminator creates an irresistible, translucent glow.
Its peach-pink shade flatters every skin tome while moisturizing and soothing skin and it's highly micronized pearls diffuse light for a natural enhanced, sun-kissed look."
How To Use
________________________________________________________________________________
"Apply the illuminator all over the face on its own or mix it with the Tom Ford traceless foundation to achieve radiant and balanced skin. The illuminator can also be used as a highlighter under or over makeup."
Swatches
________________________________________________________________________________
All swatches were applied on my medium, olive (~NC30) skin tone. Photographed indoors under artificial lighting and using a strobe unless otherwise indicated.
Above is the product blended out, but not fully - so it's still a relatively thick/heavy swatch. When blended out fully, it gives a glow and illumination as claimed. There's really not enough pigment that shows through to be worn as a blush.
Photographed in low light (no strobe used) in order to capture the sheen and glow effect.

Above (L - R): MAC Strobe Liquid Lotion in 'Golden Elixir', Guerlain Terracotta Blush in 'Sunny Pink' (02), Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer in #5 and Tom Ford Skin Illuminator in 'Fire Lust' (01).
Tom Ford's 'Fire Lust' is almost like Mac's Golden Elixer mixed in with Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer in #5.

Texture
________________________________________________________________________________
Feels just like your skin. Very lightweight with a smooth, dry (but comfortable), silky feel on the skin (there's no dewiness, moisture and tackiness at all). Instead, the glow and glistening finish comes from the beautiful, subtle shimmers.

Verdict
________________________________________________________________________________
Beautifully packaged. "Skin bathed in summer evening light" is the perfect description for 'Fire Lust'. Definitely something I'd wear while I'm sunbathing by the pool/beach; out for a romantic summer evening, over a candle-lit dinner or just a moonlit stroll along the beach. What I'd give to have any of those experiences right now, instead of this gloomy, cold winter... *sigh*
Hope this helps!
Thanks for stopping by. ^_^ xo
