Beauty Care: Tom Ford Sundrunk Shade & Illuminate Blush Duo Review & Swatches

Sundrunk

Tom Ford Beauty Sundrunk Shade and Illuminate Blush Duo Tom Ford Beauty Sundrunk Shade and Illuminate Blush Duo ($90.00 for 0.22 oz.) includes two matte blushes–a mid-tone peach and muted coral–that were silky-smooth in texture, blendable, and easy to use, though the pigmentation varied between the two shades. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Sundrunk (Left)

Sundrunk (Left) is a medium-dark peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The blush had an incredibly finely-milled consistency that felt almost cream-like as a result, but there was a bit of excess powder kicked up in the pan when used. I didn’t find this translated to my skin during application as the blush sat well on bare skin and on top of foundation without emphasizing dryness, and it blended out well without sticking too strongly to anyone area (like some matte blushes do, where they absorb underlying oil). It had medium, buildable pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to be "silky-smooth" with "semi-matte and highlighting hues" for a "light-reflecting" glow. I'd describe the finish was matte, and it'd be a stretch to even say semi-matte, but the powders were silky, smooth, and blendable and sat well on bare skin without emphasizing texture or dryness. I was actually going through a real dry spell with my skin when I swatched and tested this range!

The brand didn't make any claims regarding coverage, and my experience with these showed they were fairly pigmented--usually semi-opaque and buildable--but could be used with a lighter hand or less-dense brush for sheerer, more buildable coverage if desired. The coverage was versatile and seemed like it would be plenty for those who prefer more pigmentation but nothing that required a very light hand to start off with.

The most impressive part about the formula was how well it applied over bare skin and still-damp foundation; more matte finishes tend to "stick" and go on more patchily and often have to be applied over a mattified base. I didn't have any of those issues with the shades I tested; they applied beautifully over bare skin and blended out with ease.

They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading a little.
