Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage Eye Color Quad (Temptalia)

Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage Eyeshadow Quad

Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage Eyeshadow Quad ($80.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a set of four neutral-hued shades where three have a matte finish and one is a shimmer. The mattes were better-performing than the shimmer, which is usually not the case, and they were easy to work with as they were smooth and silky, which made blending effortless. The wear was good at seven and a half to eight hours across all four shades. I felt like the shimmery shade ran drier and sheerer, and at this price point, that can be a deal-breaker.

Cocoa Mirage #1 is a light, yellowed beige with a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, but the texture veered on the powdery side for me, even though it certainly had that silky feel to it as well. It wore well for seven and a half hours before it faded.

Cocoa Mirage #2 is a muted, medium brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency had a really silky, finely-milled feel to it that made it seem like velvet on the skin, and it blended out easily without losing its pigmentation.

Cocoa Mirage #3 is a medium-dark, coppery-brown with warm, red undertones and fine gold shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly dry consistency. It could have applied better, as it tended to sheer out on the skin. The color lasted for seven and a half hours before fading. Surratt Beauty Cuivre (P, $20.00) is lighter (95% similar).

Cocoa Mirage #4 is a dark, chocoalte brown with warm, reddish undertones and a matte finish. The texture is soft, silky, smooth, and very blendable. It’s nicely balanced such that it isn’t powdery but not firm either, which makes it very easy to apply. On me, it wore for eight hours before fading slightly.
