Hope you are having a great week. I finished working this week and I will take a few days off to visit a friend in Berlin who just had a baby boy. So excited about the visit which we were planning for months now but what a pity that I just started having a sore throat. Fingers crossed that it gets better until Thursday.
Today I would like to share my thoughts about one of the new Tom Ford Eye Color Quads. These are recently released to replace some of the older ones. You can see the other palette I reviewed yesterday called Disco Dust here and links to all the other quads I have reviewed over the years here. The one I have today is a very unusual combination of green blue and brown. I love its name, Last Dance. What does it remind you? I kept singing this song while I was playing with it. The number is driving me crazy, #21, what happened to the quads from #15 to #19? Grrr... The collector in me is very upset but I think I can survive, if, this one performs better than Disco Dust did. Did it? Right after the jump.

A few things to note down about Tom Ford Quads, these have either regular formula or wet & dry one. The palettes which don't have TF letters pressed on the eyeshadows are regular formula. You can see my review of Nude Dip here. That one has wet & dry formulation. Tom Ford Eye Color Quad #21 Last Dance is one of the regular powder formulas. Tom Ford quads may have one or two glitter shades, last dance comes with one glitter shade and three eyeshadows with satin finish. Tom Ford quads are on the pricier side but also have lots of product in them. Each quad has 10 g of eye shadow. Together with pigmented and long lasting formula, this fact makes them great products to invest into and use for years to come. As for us crazy collectors, they are usually too pretty to pass so you may end up with all of them *shows herself*.

If Tom would ask me, I would call Last Dance something like "Forest Dusk" or "Nude Dip on a Mountain Lake". Think about a blue lake or sea meeting a forest, it is what Last Dance is.
Top left: a light ivory gold with satin finish. This one is very close to my complexion hence doesn't show up on me all that well. I know it is hard to satisfy all skin tones but I wished it would be more pigmented and a little lighter. This shade is my least favorite of the bunch.
Top right: A gorgeous mid-toned brown which is not too warm nor too cool. It has a beautiful satin finish and incredible pigmentation. This type of formula and finish makes me fall in love with Tom Ford make-up all over again.
Bottom left: Now let's appreciate a beautiful glitter shade which does more than just adding a few white glitter bits over a make-up just to see that they fall under the eyes in an hour or two (Disco Dust, I am looking at you). This blue glitter is superb. It adds the most beautiful accent to the base make-up you can achieve with the other shades. Big love!
Bottom right: A beautiful deep forest green. It is one of the most flattering beautiful greens I have in my stash. It can be applied on the crease for definition or worn all over if you want. The undertones of this one is perfectly natural so different skin tones can pull it off, including me, who can't wear greens well.

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad #21 Last Dance is beautiful in all ways. My only problem with this quad is the lightest shade which doesn't show up all that well. To compliment my eye shape and create some distance between my eyes, I need to apply a lighter color to the inner third. Although I went over it many times for the eye look below, it insisted on not showing. After I applied the brown all over and green to the crease, I went over it with some more ivory so it was just a little bit better. I then applied a touch of the blue glitter in the middle.

I was wondering how the glitter shade in Tom Ford Last Dance compares to Cream Powder Duo Midnight Sea (reviewed here). I was almost certain that they are the same but I am happy to report that they are not. Although I love the glitter in Midnight Sea, I love the one in Last Dance even more (who would have guessed that?) because it has more complexity.
As for the other shades, I pulled out Tom Ford Quad Sahara Haze (reviewed here) for a comparison since that is the only green quad Tom Ford ever released. You can see that Sahara Haze is much cooler and has more of a grey touch. The green glitter shade in Sahara Haze though is warmer than the forest green shade in Last Dance. All in all they are not similar to me.

Here is the look in context. I am wearing Tom Ford Cheek Color in Savage on the cheeks for a bronzy look. I think blues and greens look especially pretty with a little bit of warmth on the complexion. On my lips I have a mixture of Diorific Matte in Radieuse and Fabulouse. I am happy to report that there was no fall out during the application and after through the day. I am still wearing this make-up, it looks like just applied.

Final thoughts: My make-up heart jumps around with joy when I see a unique combination, great formula and the beautiful packaging all in one product. Tom Ford Eye Color Quad #21 Last Dance doesn't disappoint. Even if you don't usually gravitate towards green or bleu, I urge you to check this one out.
Do you know another quad with green and blue combination like this one? Which type of greens do you like wearing?
