Impulse has a perfect nude pink and rose pink.Automatic has a super pale nude pink and a tan beige (think Blush Nude and Sable Smoke).I like to apply the darker shade first then dab the lighter one on top mixing the two for a creamy almost stained look.Ĭolor descriptions as I see them, they’re all creams, no shimmer:
You can wear each shade alone, but mixing them creates a better look in my opinion. After trying these I can really appreciate the versatility and design.
When I read these were contour duos I was really skeptical – it just seemed like a gimmicky way of being complicated and trying to make you feel like you need two colors instead of just one. On the lips they are more matte with a velvety cream texture. Swatched on the arm and hand they almost melt to a high shine cream finish. The applicators have a sponge tip and a brush tip – I tried both but really just prefer to use clean fingers to dab or a regular lip brush. These are duo compacts that have two shades and a little applicator brush. The Shade and Illuminate Lip exceeded my expectations and every color is just amazing.

If you need color I would recommend opting for the Tom Ford Powder Blush instead – it appears they’ve all been reformulated with a new more refined pearl finish and there are three new shades in Disclosure, Gratuitous and Inhibition (I ordered 2 and they are gorgeous!). If you want a little bit of glow to dab on top of powder or use underneath these are worth a look. I do like them as a base for powder blushes but by themselves on the cheeks they almost disappear onto my medium-toned skin. On the cheeks they give a barely there hint of glow and color. Scintillate has a pretty light peach with a light champagne glow. Sublimate has a soft berry with a soft pale pink glow. The two new Shade and Illuminate Cheeks are gorgeous in the pans. I’ve been using them for many many years and they remain my favorite. My holy grail cream highlighters are the Edward Bess All Over Seduction compacts (available in 3 shades). They help the color adhere better versus applying on dry powdered cheeks.

Most dewy pots and compacts are simply too dewy and glowy for my skin alone although I have used them as a nice base for powder blush. I approach solid creams compacts with caution because they often get really messy inside the pans and also because I have normal combo skin. The Shade and Illuminate Cheeks has never really been something that appealed to me mainly because of the dewy factor. Paired together they make for a fresh kind of look for spring with options for those who want neutrals and also those who like more color.
