Tu piges…? Matte scientist? Sorry, I know that was a absolutely substandard pun.
Laisse-moi réessayer…
This year, Tom Ford is channeling Spencer Tracy with an all-star cast of matte lipsticks to make sure we’re all living in a matte, matte, matte, matte world!

I am so matte ideal now.
(How matte are you?)
I am so matte ideal now that Tom Ford could hire me to be one his eight new Lip color Matte lipsticks, badum-tish!
Assez bien!
Lips take center stage in the new 13-piece Tom Ford holiday 2014 color Collection (Tom also released some other holiday sets and perfumes), with a new line of eight Lip color Mattes.
Sadly, they’re a double take-inducing $50 each, but day-um! — Tom did some severe work on these because I think every one is absolutely freakin’ beautiful.
The Tom Ford Lip color Mattes from the bottom left in Black Dahlia, first Time, velvet Cherry, Ruby Rush, Flame, Plum Lush, Pussycat and Pink Tease
Crazy pigmented, they lay down color like Tabs lays down for a nap — smoothly — and without any patchiness in sight.
As if that wasn’t enough, the lightweight formula lasts a good, long time. I haven’t had them on long enough to clock them down to the minute, but I’m going to say six or seven hours (they remind me of a thicker, longer-lasting version of the Chanel Rouge allure velvet intense Long-Wear Lip Colours).

I’m crushing Hulk-caliber hard on the nude shades in first Time, Pink Tease and Pussycat. Oh! — but that bright orangey red (Flame) is also a stunner.
For eyes, Tom included two glossy, neutral cream shadows as spicy counterparts to the matte lipsticks.

Warm, bronzed brown cream color for Eyes in Spice, and Platinum, a cool-toned platinum with silver shimmer ($42 each), complement the lip look nicely.
Tom’s cream shadows have a certain something I haven’t seen anywhere else. It’s nearly like they look wet on the lids, like a beachy Bond Girl’s eyes as she emerges from the ocean, and they’re a breeze to apply. All I do is tap and blend a bit on my lids with a finger. C’est ça.
A few re-promoted pieces from the permanent line round out the collection, namely Tom’s bad-@ss Eye Defining Pen, nail Lacquer in Viper (one of my all-time nail polish faves) and nail Lacquer in Bordeaux Lust.
Two coatsssss of nail Lacquer in Viper
I like Tom’s take on holiday. coupling glossy eyes with matte lips here spices things up and keeps them interesting, but the whole picture they paint isn’t too complicated or fussy.
I get a distinctly sexy (and expensive), cool-girl vibe from the Tom Ford holiday 2014 color Collection. I can absolutely see a gal in skintight leather leggings, a white tee, Loubs and a Burberry trench coat rocking it.
