When it comes to designer makeup brands, I tend to categorise them in my head. You've got the absolute classics, like Chanel and Dior, that I know I can always rely on for go-to products, such as foundation and blush. Then you've got brands such as Guerlain and Sisley, which take the word luxurious to a whole new level, creating makeup masterpieces that wouldn't look out of place in an art gallery. However, a makeup brand I believe is in a league of its own is Tom Ford.

Launched in 2006, Tom Ford quickly made a name for itself within the beauty space, with iconic fragrances such as Black Orchid proving incredibly popular. However, it's the makeup that truly stole the show for me. If you've ever walked past a Tom Ford counter, you'll know just how chic this brand is. Each product comes housed in sleek brown-and-gold packaging, and the formulas are just as showstopping.

Much like Tom Ford perfumes, the brand's iconic eye quads and lipsticks certainly pack a punch, while the base products focus on soft, radiant finishes. But what's consistent throughout is the way this makeup makes you feel. From the high-end designs to the sophisticated textures and statement shades, there's something about Tom Ford that makes me feel like my most powerful self. So much so that I decided to create a full makeup look using the brand's most sought-after products. Below, I've shared the Tom Ford makeup truly worth the investment, plus my top tips for getting the most out of each item.

The Best Tom Ford Makeup Products, Tried & Tested

1. Tom Ford Architecture Radiance Hydrating Foundation

First up, foundation. Part of Tom Ford's Architecture collection (designed to enhance your natural features), I'm a big fan of this radiance-boosting formula. Chic bottle aside, this glowing foundation ticks all the boxes. While most illuminating base products don't give much coverage, this hydrating formula is enhanced with light-diffusing powders, offering medium-to-full coverage and a naturally luminous finish. It's the sort of foundation that will take you from desk to drinks, and I reach for it whenever I want to feel like my very best self. Oh, and did I mention it blends like a dream? As I said, it truly ticks all the boxes.

2. Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Concealer

I'm very fussy when it comes to concealers, but this one passes with flying colours. Similar to the foundation, it boasts this creamy, hydrating formula that glides onto the skin like butter. The brand says it offers medium coverage, but it's definitely buildable in my opinion. I think of it as a two-in-one formula as it covers imperfections while also boosting radiance, making it a great option for the under-eyes. My top tip would be to use a small amount at first and see how you get on, as I find if I apply too much it can crease a little throughout the day.

3. Tom Ford Architecture Soft Matte Blurring Powder

While I love a radiant finish as much as the next person, I get a very oily T-zone, so setting powder is a must. I have to be honest, I was never really one for luxury setting powders, as in my opinion, they all do the same thing, but then I was sent the Tom Ford Architecture Soft Matte Blurring Powder, and everything changed. First, let's talk about the packaging. I don't think I've ever wanted to top up my makeup more than when I popped this in my handbag. It's so beautiful that it makes the mundane task of powdering my face feel like a heavenly experience. However, the formula is equally impressive. I find some powders can be too heavy on the skin, but this velvety texture is almost undetectable, adding a soft matte finish alongside a subtly blurring effect. Plus, the hyaluronic acid-infused formula means it never feels dry.

4. Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Contour Duo

I know people say you can't use powder and cream products together, but as someone who has had masterclasses with some of the best makeup artists in the world, I'm here to tell you that you absolutely can. So, although I used a powder blush for this makeup look (more on that later), I started with this luxurious cream contour duo. I much prefer cream bronzers as I find they look more natural on the skin, and this Tom Ford formula is no exception. Funnily enough, when I first got my hands on this palette, I thought both the contour shades looked really subtle, so I loaded up my brush and was shocked when I realised that it's actually incredibly pigmented. When testing it for the second time, I started with a small amount and loved how seamless it looked. It's perfect for a naturally sculpted effect. The highlighter contains a very small amount of shimmer, again creating a naturally luminous effect. However, I needed to use more of this product to see results.

5. Tom Ford Architecture Soft Matte Blush

Alongside the lipstick below, this blusher was the star of the show. I usually shy away from bright colours, but I think this hot pink shade will be my go-to for spring and summer. My top tip is to start with a small amount on your brush and build up as you go. The cream powder formula is infused with microsphere technology to create a flushed finish, and while I tend to use cream blushers, this powder has won me over as it never looks dry or heavy on the skin. The only thing stopping me from giving this product ten out of ten is that I found it a little hard to blend, but the upside is that it stays in place all day long.

6. Tom Ford Eye Colour Quad

I'd never tried a Tom Ford eyeshadow quad before writing this article, but I can 100% say that it was worth the wait. I opted for the shade "Insolent Rose", a beautiful blend of dusky pink and mauve tones. The palette features two matte shades, a demi-matte shadow and a shimmery option, alongside a large mirror and two mini Tom Ford brushes. I applied the lightest shade all over my lid before mixing the two darker shades in the crease, and all I can say is wow. Creamy, pigmented, blendable, long-lasting...I can see why people swear by Tom Ford eyeshadows. I literally have no notes. This eyeshadow palette has rendered me speechless.

7. Tom Ford Eyebrow Laminator

Have you ever seen such a stylish eyebrow gel? I certainly haven't. Anyone who knows me will know that I don't do a lot to my brows, but I do like to set them in place with a clear gel in the mornings. This is a great option as the small brush grabs onto every hair, lifting and sculpting for a naturally laminated finish. The gel actually comes out white, but dries down clear on the brows. That said, after a few hours of wear, I noticed a bit of white residue on my brows, but I quickly learned this was because I'd applied too much product in the first place. Like most Tom Ford makeup formulas, a little goes a long way.

8. Tom Ford Emotionproof Mascara

I feel like I'm always on the hunt for a groundbreaking mascara that doesn't transfer onto my eyelids halfway through the day, and I think I might have just found it. Yep, the clue is in the name. This long-wearing, waterproof formula is quite literally "emotionproof" and lasts all day. It creates a fluttery effect that can be layered for a more dramatic finish, and the long, tapered wand makes it easy to coat every lash. Tom Ford, you've done it again.

9. Tom Ford Soleil Summer Ultra-Shine Lip Colour

No makeup look is complete without a bit of lipstick, and while there are so many good Tom Ford options to talk about, I thought I'd try something new for this article. Introducing the Soleil Summer Ultra-Shine Lip Colour in the shade Rose Beam. Possibly the most summery, hot pink hue out there, I was a little scared when I opened this up, as I don't usually stray from my nude lip balms and glosses. However, I didn't need to worry, as I've had more compliments on this lipstick in the last week than I have had on my makeup this entire year. The lightweight, hydrating, gloss-like formula glides onto the lips, creating a plump, almost pillowy effect while delivering an impressive pop of colour. To me, this product is somewhere in between a lipstick, lip gloss and balm, and I hope my handbag is never without it this season.

While new perfumes launch every single month to keep up with the ever-changing fragrance landscape, there are a handful of scents that manage to stand the test of time thanks to their chic, timeless appeal. Take Chanel No5 or Guerlain Shalimar. Possibly some of the most sophisticated perfumes on the market, it's no wonder so many of us still reach for them in 2025.

One fragrance that I know will remain in my collection for years to come is Tom Ford's Black Orchid scent. This iconic floral perfume (and the brand's very first fragrance) was released in 2006 and quickly became an insider's favourite. Elegant and alluring, it's the kind of scent to turn heads in the best way possible. It practically screams, "I have impeccable taste," but in a beautifully subtle, quiet luxury kind of way.

Now, with the release of Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve, I thought it was time that I wrote all about my love for this perfume, alongside all the different iterations on offer, to help you choose your signature scent. If you're ready to lean into your most luxurious self, I highly suggest that you keep on scrolling.

Tom Ford Black Orchid Perfume Review

The Scent

Dark, sensual and utterly divine, spritzing this perfume is like slipping on a slinky black dress. Inspired by the rare Black Orchid flower, notes of rum absolute, plum and truffle make this fragrance feel warm and sultry.

Lacing together rich, musky, spicy accords, once this perfume settles on the skin, prepare to be taken on an olfactory journey, where soft, skin-like notes of vanilla and sandalwood battle it out with head-turning hints of patchouli and ylang ylang. The result is nothing short of spectacular.

The Longevity

In true Tom Ford style, this scent lasts. Spray this at the start of the evening, and the heady aroma will still be there by the end of the night. While the smooth, sensual base clings to the skin, the rich, punchy notes feel as if they are floating around you, leaving a lasting impression no matter where you go.

The Bottle

The new Black Orchid Reserve bottle is just as chic as the original.

As if the scent isn't sexy enough, the bottle is quite literally a work of art. Fluted black glass adorned with chic gold detailing, it's the kind of perfume that you will happily slip into your handbag for a spritz throughout the night.

The Full Collection

Thanks to the timeless appeal of this scent, the brand has released multiple iterations over the years, most recently adding Black Orchid Reserve to the impressive line-up. While the original eau de parfum is a personal fave, if you want to make an impact, I recommend reaching for Black Orchid Parfum. The most potent version of the bestselling fragrance, this scent takes each note to new heights.

Of course, if you want something softer, the eau de toilette is an excellent choice. But, for a deeper, darker take on the original composition, Black Orchid Reserve combines notes of black orchid with ghost orchid accord for a truly unforgettable experience.

Few things in life get me as excited as one of the best summer perfumes. I'm not sure what it is about summer scents, but they can completely transform my mood. Perhaps it's the escapist element. Many of these fragrances contain tropical or solar notes that transport me to warmer days.

From Estée Lauder's Bronze Goddess to Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 62, there are many iconic summer perfumes out there. However, in my opinion, it doesn't get much more iconic than Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc scent.

This luxury fragrance is loved by editors, and for good reason. It is quite possible one of the chicest summer scents out there, and it never fails to bring out my yacht party, island-hopping alter ego who likes to spend her weekends in the South of France. The brand recently added a new iteration of the iconic scent to the Soleil Blanc lineup, so I thought that it was about time that I reviewed both fragrances to let you in on what all the fuss is about...

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Perfume Review

The Scent

As mentioned above, this is a seriously chic scent. Notes of coconut, tonka bean and pistachio give it this sweet, gourmand edge; however, the addition of white florals adds an elegant touch. Hints of bergamot and pink pepper take the fragrance to a whole new level, creating this mood-boosting aroma that I want to bathe in every single summer.

If notes aren't your thing, then let me try and paint a picture of this perfume for you. Imagine a luxurious island, with golden sand beaches and palm trees galore. You've just arrived on your private yacht, and the only sound you can hear is your Oran sandals hitting the deck. You're shown to your villa, and enter through white linen curtains that are wafting open from the sea breeze. You jump in the shower to get ready for dinner, and drench yourself in golden body shimmer so that your skin sparkles in the sunlight. You're handed your first glass of champagne and you're watching the bubbles fizz, knowing you've got an entire week of relaxation ahead. Smells good, right?

The Longevitity

One thing I don't tend to love about summer scents is their lasting powers. These fragrances often contain lighter, delicate notes, which means that they don't last as well compared to punchy winter scents. However, I am always pleasantly surprised by this particular perfume. Thanks to the richer, warmer base of tonka bean and benzoin, Soleil Blanc lingers on the skin all day long.

The Bottle

In true Tom Ford style, the perfume is a fashion accessory in its own right. Housed in a chic white rectangular bottle, it features gold detailing on the front and on the lid. Not only do I love having this on display at home, but I also feel ultra elegant whenever I pull this out of my handbag.

The Verdict

As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of this summer scent. To me, this perfume is timeless, and I know that I will be using it for years to come. There's no denying that it's expensive (a 50ml bottle will set you back £222), but thanks to the timeless appeal and long-lasting aroma, it's a worthwhile investment if you do feel like treating yourself to a luxury perfume this season. The only downside? You may feel like booking yourself a holiday after one spritz of this. Consider this your formal warning.

Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc Review

If you're after something a little more understated, then let me introduce you to the newest lineup in the Soleil Blanc collection, Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc. A decidedly fresher scent, this fragrance floods the senses with citrus notes upon the first spritz. A blend of tuberose, ylang ylang and orange blossom adds this sweet, floral, uplifting element that makes this feel somewhat green and crisp when compared to the original perfume.

That being said, this scent still oozes luxury appeal. From the ribbed gold bottle to the energizing, expensive-smelling aroma, I've earned plenty of compliments since testing this out. Tom Ford, you've done it again.

"She's '90s and 2000s Calvin Klein archive, Dolce & Gabbana, and Ralph Lauren," 22-year-old Paris-based fashion student Asia Bieuville says in a TikTok. "She's the office siren." As her video goes on, a picture of this hypothetical woman and her immediately recognisable but formerly nameless aesthetic begins to form. "She wears bold lips and bold nails, chunky jewellery that makes a statement, but simple outfits," Bieuville continues, name-dropping Bayonetta glasses, thigh-high socks, and Elsa Peretti jewellery. "She's everything we aspire to be this year," she says. And she's not wrong. Looking at the green-screened collage behind her—which features Bella Hadid in a black pencil skirt set from Tom Ford's S/S 98 collection for Gucci; Gisele Bündchen walking the runway in a turtleneck sweater, croc-print skirt, and stiletto knee-highs at Ralph Lauren's A/W 00 show; and Chanel's beloved and forever-sold-out Oiseau de Nuit nail colour—it's clear that the office-siren look is exactly the one every brand and fashion girl is striving to achieve in 2024.

"I began to see the influences of this trend in the F/W 22 shows, where we were starting to move away from 'fuzziness' and back towards something more structured," she explains over email. After spotting video after video surrounding back-to-office shopping and dressing on her TikTok feed at the start of the season, similar to the way we were once inundated with back-to-school fashion content, the trend and its now-viral name sort of just clicked in her head. "I think it's the natural evolution of a generation that has gone from [one to the other]," she says, from school to work. According to Bieuville, the trend is all about challenging feminine energy in the office, a space that's so often male-dominated. "We've often been told that women have to adapt to masculine codes to be respected and admired in the corporate world, but I think there's another, more sensual and stylish way," she explains. "The woman who represents this has ambition, likes to assume her sensuality and femininity, and doesn't care about judgment. She proves herself through her actions. She's Samantha Jones in Sex and the City: feminine, sexy, and successful." 

Though the office siren's closet is made up of primarily vintage pieces and archival runway looks by the aforementioned designers and more, Bieuville says that today's creative directors who are adopting this trend right and left and thus adapting it for the modern woman are just as qualified to fill up her wardrobe. "Miu Miu's F/W 23 collection is what lit the office-siren flame in me," she says of the librarian-chic offering designed by Miuccia Prada that debuted in February. "More recently, Gucci's Ancora collection and Peter Hawkings' debut collection for Tom Ford fit perfectly with what I imagine this woman wearing." For her, there's a clear through line from these two recent collections to Tom Ford's original designs for Gucci from the '90s and 2000s, which act as a strong foundation for this trend. But let's be clear: This aesthetic is present in plenty more collections from the past few seasons, including Ferragamo's most recent offerings by Creative Director Maximilian Davis and Anthony Vaccarello's for Saint Laurent. 

As many dos as the office-siren look has—Bone Cuffs, slinky blouses, pencil skirts, stilettos, and cherry red—it likewise has its don'ts, Bieuville shares. One common misconception when it comes to the trend is that it's vulgar, especially for an office setting. "A big 'don't' for me would be to be inappropriately dressed," she says. "The corporate side is still very much present, but [the office siren] lifts it all up with a play on materials, and in the end it's quite a subtle balance." Putting an emphasis on the word subtle, she says that ending up in anything leopard print with patent-leather stilettos is a sign you've gone way too far. "The aim is not to be noticed only for your looks, but to shine with all your qualities." Really, it's more about the woman than her closet. Though, when someone has themself fully figured out, they usually also have a good grasp on their personal style. And the office siren is 100% the type to know exactly who she is and what she wants—from her job, from her style, from her life as a whole. Be the office siren this fall and winter by shopping the selection below.

Whether you're hunting for a new signature scent, looking to switch up your everyday fragrance for summer or winter or searching for gifting inspiration, taking the most popular perfumes into consideration is a great place to start. After all, if a perfume has made it onto the best seller lists, it must be for good reason, right?

Fragrances like Chanel N°5 and Dior J'Adore are amongst the most popular perfumes in the world and have more recently been joined by modern classics like Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540 and Le Labo's Santal 33. But what is it that makes these best-selling perfumes so popular? According to Jo Malone CBE, perfumer and founder of Jo Malone London and Jo Loves, people are most drawn to light, happy notes that inspire fond memories, which is why you'll often find these features in fragrance best sellers. "Everybody loves a clean citrus or fruity scent," she explains. "I think they are universally loved since they are timeless and bring happy and light moments to life."

Malone adds that after COVID she noticed a renewed appetite for much more powerful and vibrant fragrances. "I think now people are looking for a unique fragrance," she says. "People want to customise and be a part of the fragrance creation process as much as possible. That's why I always create with a memory and place in mind. I want to inspire people and make them feel unique and special." In the past few years, we've seen new and emerging brands begin to rank amongst the classic fragrance houses for the first time in decades, which is evidence of people's desire to find something new and unique which they can connect with on a personal level. 

From scents which have stood the test of time to future classics from brands like Jo Loves and Byredo, the following 12 fragrances are some of the most popular perfumes of 2023. Whether you prefer clean florals or warm, musky scents, there's something for everyone on this best seller list.

So you've heard the saying about seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses, but it turns out the world looks pretty great through yellow and blue lenses too. Left and right we're seeing celebs and style stars alike adopting sunglasses with lenses that go above and beyond basic black. Our first thought is that it immediately reminds us of the pink and blue lenses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wore during their Billboard Dad days (sure). But in 2016, the look is just a little different.

While for some, the look is meant to add a certain element of irony and irreverence to an ensemble (a concept perfected by Vetements), as the style's popularity has grown, it's no longer feeling quite so off-kilter. In fact, we're betting you can make the right pair work with just about any ensemble.

To convince you of such, we rounded up a handful of our favourite inspiration shots of late, each of which will prove that a vibrant pair of sunglasses is exactly the style you need to finish out the sunny summer in style. Ready for things to get colourful?

After working in the fashion world for a fair amount of time, you start to notice trends among the women who inhabit it. There are certain items everyone seems to own and wear regularly—and we aren't the only ones who think so.

We enlisted the help of our resident stylist Marissa Webb to help decipher what those universally beloved items are in the fashion industry.

"It's really impossible to speak for every other woman in the fashion industry, of course, but they are a few items I've spotted frequently on many," Webb confided.

We all need that perfect cosy trench coat for travel. In my opinion, a longer version is better because there are multiple ways to style it.

We need a go-to third piece like a cashmere sweater, cape, or slouchy blazer for cold days in the office, studio, or aeroplane.

Personally, I love mine for days when I just look exhausted! I stock up on different frame options for diversity.

Nice but functional luggage is important because we spend a lot of time travelling. Luggage that's physically attractive is great, but more importantly, it needs to function properly.

Tom Ford's Black Orchid Fragrance ($112) billboard featuring Cara Delevingne has been banned from being present within 100 meters of schools in the UK. Why? The top model is shown naked in a bath (predictably surrounded by floating orchids) leaving very little to the imagination. Though critics attempted to have the ad removed completely, the Advertising Standards Authority put a stop to that, citing it was “unlikely to cause serious offence.”

There are so many things to love about these boots, from the exotic calf-hair print to the exaggerated pointy toe. Bonus points for the comfortable wedge heel!

Pointy Sandals ($800, 800.929.DIOR) in Black Suede

These sculptural heels, like works of art for your feet, simply demand to be noticed. They certainly caught our attention on the runway!

Leather Tie-Up Pumps ($945) in Black and White

These runway beauties perfectly echo the ladylike yet minimalistic looks from the label’s F/W 13 collection.

30mm Fringed Patent Lace-Up Shoes ($542)

If you can’t withstand the dizzying height of a stiletto, these high-shine brogues are for you.

Lace Glove Sandals ($950) in Black

These feminine shoes have a lot going on--romantic lace, gold heels, peep-toes--but somehow the combination works beautifully. We imagine Diane Kruger picking these up for her next red carpet affair.

Suede and Stingray Caged Strappy Sandals ($1025) in Red and Pink

These striking caged heels are fun, vibrant, and youthful--everything we look for in the perfect party shoe.

F/W 13 Runway Heel (price upon request, 310.854.0557)

It was love at first sight when we first spotted these cracked marble-print shoes on the runway (which was appropriately made to look like a marble floor as well).
