Gloss, Matte or Sheer: Find the Right Red Lipstick for You

Though I’ve always been a fan of a bright red pout, it isn’t until recently that I truly started to experiment with different textures and finishes. Personally I love them all, though I tend to gravitate to matte or sheer red for day and gloss for night, what I love about the Tom Ford range of lip products in particular, is a wide variety of finishes and subtle shade variations that make it easier than ever to find the perfect red for you.

If you’re just starting to wear red, I suggest opting for a sheer finish, it’s definitely a more subtle way to wear red, yet the flash of red on your lips still pulls your make up and look together unlike anything else. Matte red offers that very dramatic look, I actually like to wear it with some of my more casual outfits for a touch of polish and sophistication. Red gloss is my evening make-up staple, what I love about it so much is the fact that I’m able to keep the rest of your make-up fairly subtle since red gloss makes such a strong impact. This single focal point creates a very strong look perfect for pairing with anything from little black dresses to dramatic evening gowns.

Tom Ford Ultra Shine Lipgloss in Lost Cherry – absolutely love these TF lip glosses. First thing I look for when buying a gloss is color payoff and staying power, but I find that consistency and feel on the lips are also really important since I hate anything sticky and goopy. This gloss is basically the best in all possible ways – consistency is amazing, super lightweight and non-sticky yet so rich in color and it lasts. You truly get ultra shine with these so if you’re looking for a really glossy red lip, this one is perfect.

Tom Ford Satin Matte Lip Color in La Woman – love the satin matte formula that TF came up with. It truly speaks to its name, and these lipsticks have such a beautiful matte finish yet feel very creamy on the lips unlike most matte lipsticks I’ve tried before. They are extremely pigmented so one swipe is pretty much all you need to get all the color payoff that lasts for hours. I hadn’t been a fan of a matte lip until I tried this formula out!

Tom Ford Lip Color Matte in Armie – another great formula from TF: super pigmented, long lasting, and comfortable to wear. This shade comes from the Boys and Girls collection so these are smaller sized lipsticks making them perfect to throw in your bag! Because the pigment on these is so good, they will last you a really long time despite the smaller size.

Tom Ford Eye Gloss – I had been looking for a product like this for some time and finally someone came up with it. I absolutely love a glossy, shimmery, or sparkly lid and I can typically achieve the latter two with eyeshadow, but I’ve struggled to get the glossy look until I got this product. It’s basically just like clear lipgloss but for your eyes – the applicator makes it super easy to apply and it’s not sticky. I like to wear it alone for a “wet” eyelid look or glide it over eyeshadow.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
