Tom Ford Mink Mirage Eye Color Quad Review & Swatches

Mink Mirage

Tom Ford Beauty Mink Mirage Eye Color Quad ($88.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a new, all-matte neutral palette featuring a light beige, soft brown, medium brown, and cool-toned black. All four shades had good color coverage to full opaque coverage with soft, velvety textures that applied well, blended out with ease, and weren’t prone to fallout. The one thing I noticed is that the shades tended to go on darker on my skin than they appeared in the palette.

Mink Mirage #1

Mink Mirage #1 is a light-medium, yellowed beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a smooth, velvety texture that was more substantial, so there was less potential for fallout and the color wasn’t as prone to sheering out. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.

Mink Mirage #3

Mink Mirage #3 is a medium-dark, chocolate brown with soft, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety consistency that wasn’t too powdery nor too firmly pressed into the pan. There was slight dustiness present in the pan, but I didn’t find it was prone to sheering out nor having fallout when applied and blended out. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Mink Mirage #4

Mink Mirage #4 is a medium-dark black with cooler undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which easily built up to full coverage with less than a second layer. The texture was smooth to the touch, velvety without being too powdery (but it wasn’t thin or too firmly-pressed into the pan either), so it applied evenly but blended out with ease. It stayed on well for eight hours before I noticed slight fading.
