The moment I saw the above photo of the model wearing makeup from the new 2016 Tom Ford Soleil Collection, I knew I had to have it. I’ve never been more drawn to a collection of products. Something about the picture had me captivated with this makeup. It captured the essence of summer in the most exotic and sultry way. As soon as I took a close look at this collection, I couldn’t wait for the call informing me it had arrived. I purchased quite a few things in this new collection, but this is close up look at the contouring palette. I’m also giving one away to one of my beloved followers.
I think the most spectacular piece in the Soleil Collection is the Contouring Palette. This is the first luxury palette from Tom Ford and a limited edition. Tom Ford has named it Afternooner and it has three summer shades to create the perfect sun-kissed look. The elegant ivory palette is sleek with gold trim. It’s simply beautiful and comes with a soft ivory dust bag to avoid scratches if you carry the palette in a purse or travel with it. The makeup in the palette is embossed with the Tom Ford logo with tiny textured diamond pattern. It’s so elegant! It’s hard to take that first swipe with your brush!
The shades in the palette are a cream-like powder that create a soft even finish. They can be mixed together to create different looks. In the photo above with the model, I was informed by a Tom Ford artist that the cheeks were done with a blend of the blush and bronzer in the palette. The blush is a gorgeous matte coral. Mixed with the bronzer it does create the exact tone you see on the model in the photo. The bronzer is also matte with warm undertones. The highlighter in the palette can be blended with either of the matte shades to incorporate some shimmer but there is no glitter in the highlighter shade. It’s a subtle nude with light reflecting properties that creates a soft finish without any metallic or glittery effect. The colors provide sheer to medium coverage.

I’m recommended these products of your posting by my colleagues. Now I read your posting I’m very impressive and want to try them on the nearest day. I hope you can post more useful articles.
Thanks your sharing 🙂
I have heard raves about all the nude lipsticks. The perfect shade is so elusive. And that packaging!! It’s definitely an aspirational line – pull one of those babies out of your purse and you can almost pretend your other car is a Maserati!
So true. Just leave it laying on your desk to make a statement! They do have a collection of nudes unlike anything I have ever seen. No doubt the perfect shade for everyone is in their collection.
I’ve never had the luxury of trying any of Tom Ford Products so I’d love to try them all particularly, the 4 color eye palettes and the gorgeous, silky smooth lipsticks.
The lipsticks are really wonderful. I have not tried the shadows but I would love to!
This looks absolutely amazing! Would love the chance to try out this beauty! x
I can’t put my down. What’s your current favorite blush?
I would love to try their lipsticks! 😀 lovely shades
You look fabulous! I love the colors and finish, it looks nice and bright.
I wear glasses and I’ve always wanted some of Tom Ford’s frames. I wear a pair of Coach frames right now and they’re not even slightly slick enough. 😉
The Tom Ford style is so chic. My son would probably trade me in to get a pair of Tom Ford frame. I think I got him generic frames! LOL
This looks amazing. I’d love to try their products, just don’t have the money with 3 babies lol
I hear ya. Their products are quite expensive. When I was younger, I could not have afforded it.
I would love to try this Contouring Palette! Beautiful!
i am in love with the colors of this palette! beautiful ! Thnk you Whims xoxox
I wore mine today. I really love it. I wish I could give one to everyone.
I would like to try the Contouring Palette. Great giveaway 🙂
I’d love to try this pallette after seeing it here!
Isn’t it pretty? Their ad…. had me sold – the photo was just irresistible!
Tom Ford owns my top fragrance list…but I’ve yet to try anything from the cosmetic line! I’m interested in the bronzing primer & the radiant moisture. The palette you spotlight is stunning and of course I will need to snag a couple lipsticks!
I have not sampled any of their fragrances. Now you have me totally intrigued! Their lipsticks are so beautiful and the vanilla scent is really soft and pretty. I have been wearing Spanish Pink a lot and also Rose Soleil. Once you try them, you will be hooked. (Maybe obsessed!) They are so addicting.
Oh I bet, they are gorgeous & those particular shades are just my range! I love that they have a vanilla scent; that makes me want them even more.
You must! The men’s too. I buy Tobacco Vanille for husband and secretly dab it on my wrists for myself…my 4 year old son is not a stranger to sporting some either. 😉
Tom Ford and YSL Lippies are my faves. But the Tom Ford colors? OMG OMG OMG! It’s crazy. There’s not one crappy one in the collection. LOL – OMG my 6 year old would love to wear some cologne. I’ll have to check it out. I’m afraid I might fall in love with it though. How could I afford anything more from this company? Killing me!
I know! You’re not kidding! I’m a scent junkie and swore myself away from the price point that is the higher end side of Tom Ford fragrance…and some other stellar brands like bond no. 9 (those bottle designs) but enter the Nordstrom scent guy and his little bon bon fragrance samples [sigh] I was like a kid in a candy store. I let my son wear Terre de Hermes. It’s magical & woody, does not have the strong typical mens cologne smell of many mid range colognes and the price is a bit more suitable. He loves having a grown up thing to do before school..and I love smelling it on him! I love the YSL as well as Dior and I’m a big fan of Bite lippies and glosses. I feel like I am always searching for that every day perfect shade so I guess I’ll have to take the plunge and try Tom Ford’s. 😉
Tom Ford has a collection of nudes like no other. They just go on forever and they are opaque and gorgeous. I just got Spanish Pink (OMG OMG OMG) and I bought Nude Vanille which is too nude and pale for me BUT with the added bonus of Sahara Pink gloss over the top, it’s magical. That gloss is super pretty. I wear over MAC Brave and it transforms that too. I’m trying so hard to hold back but overtime I go look…. there’s new stuff I want. Lashes, Lippies, Chanel Blush (LOVE), eye shadow palettes. OMG and the cream shadows from Chanel? I picked up Chanel New Moon? OMG, to die for! Sometimes I just have to steer clear of all stores because I can’t help myself. I love the New Moon so much, I feel I need go back and get more but damn it…. I GOTTA STOP!! LOL
I would love to try ANY of Tom Ford’s products as I have never tried any of them before, this would be a dream. the palette is absolutely elegant!
Thanks for the opportunity!!
You are so welcome! It really gives pretty sun-kissed color.
Beautiful lipstick perfect contour
Thank you! =)
I’d love to try the lipsticks
Once you try them (Oh! And smell them), they are so addicting. First one, then 3, then 5. They are so very beautiful.
That is definitely a sexy summer look! The palette goes great with you. =) I admit, I think I almost like TF just being out of reach, like the $100+ outfits and shoes I see while window shopping. :B
I had convinced myself that they were too expensive and I would never buy it. But I then I tried something and now I’m hooked. ;(
Lipsticks.
I would love to try their lipsticks – I’ve heard really good things! BTW you look gorgeous!!!
Oh thank you!!!! Their lipsticks are great. I love the vanilla scent. Mmmmmm.
I would love to try their lipsticks.
Vanilla heaven!
Those colors are gorgeous on you- even better than on the model 🙂
-Renee
Ahhhhh thank you! KISSES!!
I would like to try the ultra length mascara. ^^
I haven’t tried any of their mascaras! I’m curious now!
I would love the try the lipsticks!!!
BEEEE-U_TI-FUL~ Their lippies are amazing!
Their lipsticks!!!
They are amazing and their color selection is just unbelievable.
Wow great products giveaway,For me I have tried Tom ford Products and they are hands down worth the money,being in a partime job out of my budget for now,but this great palette just a little product will go so far!Use as bronzer,blush,eyeshadow,shimmer on cheeks as well as under brow for great shimmer also for chest Highlight!Just great giveaway,Thankyou!!Julie Delacruz
You’re welcome!
The shades in this contouring palette are beautiful!
They are ultra summery!
I have never tried a Tom Ford product before so i would love to try this palette or one of the lipsticks that I’ve heard so much about.
I would love to try the lipsticks, I heard Spanish pink was a great color…i think that was the name.
The Soleil Contouring Palette looks so beachy, bronzed and fresh – just screams summer! And it looks fabulous on you!
Thank you. It is really summery. I’ve worn it a few times and each time it does give a very bronzed look. Kind of magical! =)
This set is absolutely beautiful…I would love to win this!!! Thanks
Good luck with the drawing!! It is super pretty. I’m very excited to offer it to my followers.
Just found you on Twitter. I am always seeking new make up products. I love these colors. Thanks so much for sharing, would love to win so. Happy Sunday ?
Well hello! And welcome! You can definitely find new makeup products here. Also, I post a lot of new things on Instagram as well. Happy Sunday to you too!
Wayne Goss has got me wanting to try a lot of Tom Ford products, but I think I’d most like to try one of his eyeshadow quads. I love the Honeymoon Quad.
I haven’t look really close at the quads. I’ll have to check them out. I did buy the new Soleil Collection bronze cream shadow and it’s fantastic. I have never used cream shadows and I really like the Tom Ford ones.
–––––––––– I’d love to try the lipstick in derek & roman .
thank you for the chance ! 🙂
OH! Lips and Boys! Good taste! You’re very welcome for the opportunity! Thank you for stopping in!
I am just learning how to contour so I would love to try the Tom Ford Soleil Collection Limited Edition Contouring Palette!!
It’s beautiful. I can’t imagine anyone not loving this one. It really does provide a very sun-kissed look as well. In the swatches, it doesn’t appear that pigmented, but it really is. A synthetic brush picks up a lot of product so a little goes a long long way!
i would love to try any of the lipsticks!
Aren’t they sooooo pretty!?
I’ve heard everything is amazing! I’d love to try it all. A little mini makeover in store sampling, say? 😉 Lol. Thanks for the giveaway! AND for saying what foundation that is, your skin looks fabulous!!
Oh yes! Hitting the counter to try all the goodies is wonderful (and hard to resist not buying more than you planned on)! I haven’t tried the Tom Ford foundation. I heard it’s really good BUT I have been using the Chanel Lift Lumiere and I can’t imagine anything being better.
After seeing a number of reviews, swatches, and application, I’m looking forward to owning this compact! Thank you for your review and showing how beautiful and wearable this palette is!
You are so welcome!! =)
I adore the lipsticks I have 2 of them one is Bruised plum I have to get the other name I forgot… I would love to try his blush & concealer…. <3 This is such a great prize!!! Thank you for the chance beautiful! 🙂
You are so welcome! I try to pick current releases that I’ve tried that I think others would love. I’m so glad you enjoy!
This palette is to die for!! I don’t have any Tom Ford in my collection and winning this would be a gem!! <3
This was the first of my purchases and now I’m addicted.
I haven’t tried any of Tom Fords stuff yet. So anything would be nice
Hiya hon long time no chat. What a beautiful set ! And it looks wonderful on you !! Thank you for the giveaway!! Hope you are doing well.
Hi there gorgeous! I’M SO BEHIND ON BLOG READING! I’m doing well, just been super busy at work. A few months ago, we had some departmental changes and I’ve been getting acclimated to all the new work and functions so I’ve been on line a bit less. I’m making this weekend a complete catch up weekend! How are you?
I would love to try Tom Ford lipstick!
There are a lot of pretty ones to choose from! Do you have one in mind?
I have already tried several Lipsticks and I absolutely love them now I’m really curious about the blushes and bronzers.
The lipsticks are wonderful! What’s your favorite one?
I WOUND LIKE TO TRY ANYTHING . I HAVE NEVER — USED BEFORE TOM FORD MAKEUP !!!
It’s amazing! =)
I’d love to try Tom Ford lipstick
Do you have one in mind? There are so many beauties!
I want to try the non shimmer highlighter. Bronzers don’t work too well on my very pale skin, but the blush looks fabulous, and so does the highlighter.
The highlighter is very pretty! For pale skin, it would be wonderful! So many highlighters are metallic looking but this one is soft and nude. These products are very buildable, you might be OK with the bronzer if applied very lightly. Then again, if your skin is really pale, you can create an entirely different look with the products that would be just gorgeous!
HI! i’d say the entire Soleil Color Collection.. just fabolous ! xxo
It’s really beautiful isn’t it? I think I’ve stared at the advertisement way too long! I’m just so intrigued by it.
That is such a hot look! I wish I looked just like the model – but then I’d have to snuggle up to a hunky guy!
You crack me up! You know you can still look like the model and snuggle up to a hot girl! Plenty of women are more open than you may think!
I’m so into that look in their ad. Whoever the photographer was for that shoot really nailed it! Just beautiful don’t you think??
I really want to try the blush! Oh, this is so great! Tom Ford products to win! =D
I thought my readers might really like this one! =)
I’m so glad to hear you do!
I really want to try the lipsticks as I have yet to try the lipsticks so that’s on my list.
Oh yes! Lipsticks are a must try! Which one would you want to try first?
I would love to try any and all Tom Ford products. I have not tried any before. This palette looks like it would fit my skin tone to a tee! So, What a great place to start enjoying Tom Ford!
I think this is a really versatile palette and perfect for summer. What I like is that the colors are buildable and blendable. So, it’s really good for many skin tones! It’s time for you try something. Of course, it’s a dangerous road to go down because once you start you can’t stop. LOL (Like you can’t eat just one potato chip)
I would love to try Tom Ford lipsticks! And this palette of course)
I’m really wanting to try the Tom Ford Cream Color eyeshadows. They all look so easy to wear and beautiful!!
I have to say the cream shadows are really gorgeous. I bought the gold one from the Soleil Collection (and OMG!). I’m now wanting another one and I’m fighting the urge. It’s actually the first cream shadow I tried too. Which one looks the best to you?
Oh I’m in love with Burnished Copper; it’s gorgeous!…and I just ordered Opale 🙂
I had a lipstick break on me (GASP!)… So now I have to run to the store to swap it for a new one. It must have been broken inside before I got it. Now, I just know… I will exchange and buy 2 more. LOL. I’ll be checking out your colors!
I’d love to try out that blush shade. It’s lovely.
It’s very pretty! It’s especially nice blended with the contour color.
i want to try one of the nude lipsticks! (rafflecopter name is Courtney b)
I think I want them all. I don’t know how to even pick, it’s like every color is so perfectly formulated. Do you have a favorite one to try?
Great giveaway! I’d like to try a dark shade of lipstick and also the parfume 🙂
I am so intrigued by their lipstick shades. Do you have one in mind?
Bronzer Terra! 🙂 Thank you for the chance <333
Beautiful!
Can my answer be everything?! I love everything Tom Ford does!
Yes, and if that’s your answer…. it matches mine! LOLOLOL
This palette is absolutely stunning! Tom Ford anything looks amazing! I am particularly intrigued by the products since they aren’t available where I’m from. I would especially love to try their lipsticks. 🙂 The shades from this palette look lovely on you!
Where are you from? Are there luxury brands in your country that we can’t get in the US?
I’m from South Africa. We do have Chanel, Mac, Estée Lauder, Benefit, YSL, Lâncome and a few others but we don’t have brands like Tom Ford, Urban Decay, Nars and Too Faced to mention a few. We kind of have the basics. I don’t think there are any luxury brands we have that you don’t in the US. You have a much better selection than we do.
I bet some department stores would ship to you (they do link up with international shipping services) but it’s probably quite expensive. The real cost of shipping a palette to you like this would be like 20USD (maybe less) but they may charge quite a bit more for shipping. I’ve heard that the US has a really fantastic collection but I’m always looking for those products that I can’t get in the US.
It would be very expensive especially with our weak currency but I have a will to travel one day so nothing is stopping me from visiting the US one day to do a little shopping while on my travels.
It is lovely to hear about different products from around the world. If you are looking for brands that aren’t in America Anne from dovesandroses.com (I hope I am correct) features many different product on her blog including Dutch brands. Maybe you will find something there which you can’t find in the US. 🙂
Oh yes, I know Anne and follow her blog. I’ll have to stop in as I’ve been really busy with work and haven’t had a chance to visit everyone’s blog recently. I think I’ll make this weekend a catch up weekend. I love finding brands and products I can’t get here in the US. Not just makeup either. I like to find foods and boutique items. I used to order Mexican folk art from this amazing couple who had an on line store in San Miguel Mexico but they don’t have it anymore. I love finding things like that though! I wish you the best of luck in the drawing!! **HUGS**
It is quite interesting to find little gems that wouldn’t otherwise be available to you. It’s unfortunate that the online store no longer exists. It sounds like it was something quite special!
Thank you. 🙂 Sending hugs right back to you!
Those little gems are the best! You know sometimes it’s just the little things in life!
I would go with a blush & lipstick! This palette is gorgeous (packaging,colours-just perfect)! Thank you for the chance
You are so welcome! =)
I would love to try the Cream and Powder in Golden Peach! 🙂
Mmmm that sounds pretty.
I’d love to try their famous lipsticks!!!
Which one? There are so many. So beautiful!
What a stunning (and generous) giveaway! The look is sooooo pretty, especially the cheek. Ahh Tom Ford why do you do this to us??!!!
He tortures us! LOL (seriously)
I would actually like to try the Contouring Palette from your giveaway it is very pretty.
It’s really pretty. I love how it’s matte but you can add the highlighter in if you want a little shimmer. I’m all excited to be wearing it today.
I would like to try a lipstick of some kind, never tried this brand before 🙂
They have an amazing collection of nudes. Which one would you want to try first?
I would love to try the lipstick. Great giveaway, thanks!
I would love to try Tom Ford foundation
I have not tried it but I heard it was a very good foundation. I do have their primer (and love it)
I would love to try anything from Tom Ford, including this palette 🙂
I’d love to try ANY Tom Ford lipsticks!!
Lipsticks are so beautiful! Ultra-Rich Lip Color in Revolve Around Me is just wooow! 🙂
Oh a specific one to go and check out! Now, I’ve got to go to the site and look at it. I don’t know their colors the way I know NARS or MAC so I hear a name and I rush over to look.
I love Tom Ford Rocco lipstick,.. Its the beautiful fuchsia shade, which I’m in total love,..I cant stop adore it,… Thank you for the giveaway,..
That shade would look amazing on you!
I have never tried any Tom Ford product, so I would love to try anything.
They are very beautiful (if only they were a little less expensive, right?)
I’d love to try the Blush Nude lipstick and this palette!
I saw Blush Nude when I was there and I almost bought it!! I bought Nude Vanille instead with a gloss. Now, I feel I need to check them again as you are second or third person who mentioned this color. It must be a good one!
Blushers !!! I adore Tom Ford blushers !!!
Do you like the cream ones or powders?
Blushers !!! I adore Tom Ford blushers !!!
loving this a loooot! it’s so so pretty! I would love me the Bicoastal and a couple of eyeshadows as well! :D:D:D 😉 you know how much I love my TF! 😀 😉 xx, Annie | Annie’s Beauty
I know you do gorgeous! I have my eye on Bicoastal and the cream shadows. I got the gold one but I want (well, need) more. The peach colored one in the new Soleil Collection looks so pretty. XOX
Tom Ford always has amazing products. Great find!
They do! Have you tried anything? Do you have a favorite or a recommendation?
I’d love to try the lipstick!
Thanks for the giveaway!
You’re so welcome!
I would love to try anything from Tom Ford. I like the Blush Nude lipstick.
The pieces from this collection were my first purchase other than a lipstick I got from someone else. I’m loving it so far. I looked at Blush Nude when I was at the store. It was super pretty. I wound up getting Nude Vanille which is similar. I’d like to get Blush Nude too. AND MUCH MORE.
I would like to try the soleil coutour kit. I’ve heard people raving about it.
It’s so pretty. It gives the perfect bronzed look.
I would love to try ANYTHING by Tom Ford! I’ve yet to try his line and I always hear such good things!
=) I have to say Chanel has also impressed me recently! Both lines are just amazing.
I would love to try any of the lipsticks like Nude Vanille.
I bought Nude Vanille. It’s what I am wearing it in the post. I put Sahara Pink over the top. It’s very pretty.
Great giveaway! I don’t think I own anything from Tom Ford. This is a beautiful palette and you look gorgeous, as usual! Xo
ahhhh thank you. **Blushing**
I have yet to try the lipsticks so that’s on my list as is this gorgeous palette ?
I only have 3 lipsticks but I do love them all. They have such beautiful colors in their collections. I would like to get more but it’s hard to justify (well, not to myself… to my husband… LOL)
I really want to get The Honeymoon eyeshadow palette once it becomes available again :). This palette looks amazing, I love the white compact.
Aren’t their white compacts beautiful? Ahhhhh, it’s so addicting.
I’d love to try the Tom Ford lipstick in Forbidden Pink. Looks gorgeous. Thanks for your review and giveaway too.
Oh just that name has me curious. LOL
You are welcome for the giveaway!
Wow you look amazing! I’ve always wanted to try any of the nude lipsticks.
Thank you so much. I was a little freaked when the sales person gave me the Nude Vanille. It goes on almost white but then when blended with the pink gloss, it took on a new form and I loved it. This line is full of gorgeous nudes though.
I haven’t tried any products by TF yet but they have always caught my eye. Especially their lipsticks!
It’s hard to take the plunge because they are so expensive. They do make a gorgeous quality product though from formula to packaging and their service at the counters in the stores is top notch.
I’ve always wanted to try one of his eyeshadow palettes- they’re stunning!
They are really pretty. I would recommend the new cream shadows in the Soleil Collection too. Not overly expensive but the colors are OMG!! I Got the gold and it’s just stunning. Now, I want more and I’m fighting the urge.
Gorgeous summery palette and looks great on you! I think blending the bronzer with the blush shade would make a beautiful bronzey blush colour. But I agree, so difficult to wear away the palette design… I’m struggling with that with my Burberry palette right now – sigh!
How generous of you to give one of these beauties away! 🙂
I totally would not have thought to blend the blush and bronzer but I wanted the shade of blush in the photograph of the model and they told me it was the blend. I was hoping it was a cream blush in the collection (much cheaper) LOL but nope, it was the palette.
I hear you on the Burberry. I would have a hard time digging into those too. Same with Dior. I never want to mess them up. =(
I wanted to give away something really new, special…. especially after what my site did last night. I was so devastated. I thought… I can only make up for this with Tom Ford! LOL. Actually, it turned out to be an issue when my site moved to a new hosting company. Too bad I couldn’t have known there were some changes needed. I guess some people will remember my name this week. Sigh.
I’ve never tried any Tom Ford products so is really love to try anything! Haha ?
Same here. I bought a used hippie from someone but I decided one day… this is it. I’m going in! I saw that Soleil Collection and I just had to have it. I was completely enamored by the ad. Damn them!
I’ve heard so many great things about the lipsticks.
They are gorgeous. Their entire palette of colors is stunning. I wish I could have them all.
Wow so beautiful collection! I´ve always want to try the Tom Ford lipsticks and this palette of course! love it!!!! thank you for the chance!
You’re welcome Love! Good luck. This is their first palette so it’s kind of special.
I would love to try the Soleil Blanc fragrance.
Oh that sounds gorgeous. I didn’t get a chance to check it out when I was there but just the sound of it….
I would like to try to the flawless powder foundatio
I bet that is totally gorgeous too. =)
It looks amazing on you! And you’re so amazing for giving one away xo
I was literally racing to get this palette. I wanted it so bad! I couldn’t help but do a giveaway. Especially after my blog email system went haywire last night.
I would love to try the lipsticks which I hear are incredible and I’m a total blush addict so I’m always interested in blush palettes!
The lipsticks are amazing. I’d like to try Indian Rose. Do you have one in mind?
The Moisturecore in Mustique and the Sheer in Paradiso. Nice for Spring! 🙂
Yes definitely. Don’t those look gorgeous! I didn’t see them in the store yet.
