TOM FORD ARCHITECTURE SOFT MATTE FOUNDATION: Full Day Wear Test- A VERY Detailed Review & Comparison

[@lolaheart5887]

I gave up on Tom Ford Beauty. I find the quality can be hit or miss but also I've had problems with products like their lipsticks turning before the three month mark. At the price point, that shouldn't be happening. I feel like there are so many great foundations on the market in every prince range, I'm not even tempted to try this. I finally picked up a bottle of the Armani Luminous Silk foundation and I get why people rave about it.

[@sanellaaletovic1303]

Or the Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation for that matter. This replaced the GA Luminous Silk Foundation for me. For a higher, matte coverage I adore the GA Power Fabric Plus Foundation, which got reformulated.

[@AllyKit]

@@sanellaaletovic1303 Luminous Silk is my holy grail and the new Power Fabric for when I need more coverage/longevity. What did you like better about the TF?

[@nicoleosorio5347]

Foundations looks great! love that you do this is not just a first impression, this is way more helpful.

[@tarski7420]

Wow that’s incredible how good it still looked at the end of a long busy day! Thanks for testing it out and sharing your thoughts. The check-ins were super helpful too!

So excited you reviewed this! I have the original soft matte and its my top foundation. I was hoping this would be even better!

[@loralee3232]

Tania, great review on the TF foundation. Looks great on you and even after the long wear test. But a very expensive foundation. I agree with you there are other matte foundations out there like Prada & Haus Labs. Thank you for reviewing!! 😊❤️

[@QuinceyG]

That base looks beautiful on you. I don’t wear base. I generally only need a tinted SPF, but I’ve seen several reviews on this foundation, and it is gorgeous.

This new Tom Ford looks fantastic, Thanks 💖💖💖

[@beverlynelson599]

It's so nice that you get to take your children to the pool and be outside with them in the summer! I was so fortunate to do these things with my son while he was growing up. I thank God for these mrmories. 😊❤✝️

[@lynndecarlo6704]

Stunning!! I do love the prada as well. Tania i ordered the dior hilghting blush in rosy. I'm glad i asked you cuz i had peachy in my cart but that looks a bit more lighter and icy. It may be beautiful over my peach blushes but I'm excited to try the rosy. ❤

[@MKgoob710]

You and I are usually shade matches, and I found last summer 5.1 Cool Almond was my perfect match. I use 2.7 Vellum in the winter, but usually have to mix it to deepen it just a bit.

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

Hi dear Tania, what a super good review about this foundation, so detailed, thanks so much!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩I have a bad reaction to the TF foundations because of the lavender oil in the ingredients, which are AGAIN in this, i agree with you, too expensive foundation. Don't get me wrong, it looks gorgeous on you, as well as all other makeup, Tania, but when i COULD handle the ingredients....indeed there are other foundations that are really good! Thanks again for this very good video, have a wonderful day!!!!😘😘😘😘

[@blove9199]

Great review ❤ thank you also you're very thorough too.

[@TaniaBWells]

[@magdalenas5095]

Thanks for your review! I was really hoping you will review this one because I swatched some shades at Nordstrom and the color that I use is much darker. I use original soft matte 2.7 and the new one in that shade is much darker. So I really hoped you found your shade that you can recommend. Just to let you know you look gorgeous!

[@CrystalSMUA]

Curious to know as well!

[@debbiesmith4887]

I agree about the transfer/ wet feeling. I thought I was doing something wrong. Ty

[@lovefilles]

I also could never find the perfect shade with Tom Ford and I am warm gold, medium light skin. I also gave up on the foundation with them but I do love love love their eyeshadows.

[@danielletrue1027]

Tanya, I think you would be a cool rose in the TF foundation as it does run yellow….. Finally started tanning again, I can’t wait to wear my darker foundations.

[@marthastahl-po8yv]

Regarding TF primer, how does it compare to Hourglass or Shiseido primers? And do you find that foundations are improving formulas and primers are not needed? Thank you.

[@stephaniejones2605]

Oh she does look expensive 😉 I love the luminosity it gave with still being set. Us dry skin gals will appreciate that. Currently still loving my Cle De Peau radiant natural which nothing beats imo, but perhaps ill check this out once finished. Do you think you like this one as much as the cdp?

[@mariacardaropoli90]

[@TaniaBWells]

I’ve been really liking it. The more I wear it the more I like it

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Looks stunning on you! It wears amazingly well, I've put it through some crazy days and it is always perfect! It definitely was more matte on me though! 😢

[@TaniaBWells]

I saw your video today! It did look more matte, which is interesting since I tend to have more dry skin🤷‍♀️ It looked beautiful on you!!❤️

[@greenbeauties]

I got the same shade and it is yellow and deep for me too now but should work in summer when I get a tan 🤞🙏🏼

[@MsLS8]

Hi, I wonder how this compares to the latest Sisley foundation

[@katieebner2000]

I truly believe $150 for a foundation is unfathomable lol like that’s ridiculous! My holy grail is my Haus Labs foundation and I’ve worn that for 18 hours and it still looks amazing and it’s $45 😂

[@TaniaBWells]

I agree, $150 is just ridiculous. I love love the Haus Labs foundation too!❤️

[@samalv123]

Hi, do you think this highlights texture on the face? Thank u xx❤

[@TaniaBWells]

I don’t think it would. At the moment I don’t have a ton of dry patches or texture to test it out on, but based on the texture I wouldn’t expect this to emphasize texture.

[@AllyKit]

I am the same shade as you in foundations and the 4.0 Fawn is my summer shade as well. The 2.7 Vellum is my winter shade. That IT Cosmetics brush is👌for blending out full coverage foundations. I am getting pickier about makeup that doesn't set down so I think I would like this for my humid climate, given it still has a luminosity. I was hoping they were removing the scent from the reformulations so unfortunately that's a no for me. You do look expensive with that movie star skin and red carpet hair 🤩

[@simply_hande]

The foundation looks beautiful from start to finish. And you look amazing. 150 dollars is crazy. I’ll watch out for this and if i see it somewhere irl i’ll try to find a shade match (i am smidge lighter than you).

I love the Cle de peau radiant matte better. I’m going to pick it up next time. It’s on sale at Nordstrom.

[@TaniaBWells]

I only have the radiant natural from Cle De Peau and that one has lighter coverage, because of that and my shade matches better than Tom Ford, I would go with the Cle de peau. ❤️

[@danielletrue1027]

I hated the shade and illuminate it brought out texture I didn’t even know I had, tried it with so many different products it just looked like a greasy mess on me which sucks being it’s so expensive, I love a soft matte so will def be trying this out…. I think it might be comparable to the GA luminous silk maybe hmm. SUMMER FRIDAY BIRTHDAY CAKE IS BACK IN STOCK I snagged two, I wanted four but wanted others to get to try it, I wanted to be greedy but I played nice as I love it SO YUMMY !!!!

[@CosmeticsAddiction]

BTW, I think you will suit either 1.4 or 2.5 (2.5 being a better natch, I feel)

[@TaniaBWells]

Oh good to know. I think I have 4 different colors, I tried 2.5 and it was too light on me, but the undertone was good.

[@CrystalSMUA]

[@iwillstom]

Transfer proof with that radiance is a big selling point. I feel like other bases I have with that finish always feel tacky even after setting with powder and it drives me nuts.

[@AllyKit]

Oh me too! I just wrote this. For some reason I can no longer stand foundations that I can still feel. I used to only wear glowy ones but now they drive me crazy from not setting down. That's why I am loving the new Lisa Eldridge skin tint. You can't feel it at ALL!

[@iwillstom]

@@AllyKit I like self-setting formulas. I have allergies so I’m itching my face constantly. And somehow I also always get eyelashes or other fibers/hairs stuck to my face while I’m blending that need to be brushed away. So I’m constantly going back to cover up areas that have lifted. But I also like a more radiant finish because my cheeks are dry and crepey. 🤦‍♀️

[@AllyKit]

@@iwillstom Oooh I feel that. Or how about when the wind blows and your hair sticks to your face? Argh! That never used to bother me but now is becoming a real pet peeve. Like wearing sunscreen to the beach 🤪Even though my cheeks and forehead are dry too, I can't stand it😫
