The New Tom Ford Lips And Boys Shades Are Available Now (Update)

UPDATE (November 21, 2016 5:15 p.m.): The latest additions to the Tom Ford Lips And Boys lineup are finally here. All 25 of the new shades in the third adaption of the lipstick line, which inspired by the men in the designer's life, are available now on tomford.com. You can now try out what the new modern matte finish is all about, in '90s-inspired browns called Ben and Christopher (I'll let your imagination decide who they are named after) and fun reds like Dylan and Dominic. The tiny, perfect-for-your-purse tubes are $36 each. If you want all 50 of the Tom Ford Lips and Boys shades in one handy vault, you will have to wait until Thursday, November 23, when they launch on sephora.com. (They will be available individually there, too.)

Allure editors tested out the new shades last week on Lipstick Roulette. You can watch the Facebook Live below and see what the boys look like when they are swatched on real women:

In 2014, Tom Ford almost broke the Internet (and a ton of people's budgets) when he launched Tom Ford Lips and Boys, a collection of 50 mini lipsticks—36 new shades, 14 from previous seasons—named after men who had inspired the designer known for ultrasexy, androgynous everything. There was Eric, an especially kissable rosy metallic; Egon, a shimmery pale pink; Liam, a bold purple; and who could forget Roberto, a spicy, punchy shade of crimson? Once the incredible set of all 50 colors had sold out, each shade was available for $32, which was $17 less than regular-size shades, like Tom Ford Lip Color in Bruised Plum, which won our 2010 Best of Beauty Award for best dark lipstick and retails for $53.

Next month, the iconic lip kit is going to get a major overhaul—we’re talking 25 new shades—and for the first time, it will include ten modern matte finishes in addition to the existing creams and metallics. Hitting shelves in November, the latest Tom Ford Lips & Boys kit will feature nuanced nudes, like Bradley and Alexander, and daring reds, like Nicholas and Dominic. Look, Tom Ford has had a lot of men in his life. Lucky for us, that translates to a lot of gorgeous lipstick.

Individually, the gender-bending shades from Tom Ford Lips & Boys retail for $36, as you'd expect, but to get your hands on the full 50-piece collector's set, you’ll have to kiss some serious rent money good-bye—the full collection comes in a black lacquered Tom Ford case and will set you back $1,950.

To put that in perspective, the NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Vault, which we reported on at the beginning of September, is stocked with 24 mini versions of the brand's fiendishly popular glide-on lipsticks. It will put you out $50. The Kat Von D Holiday Everlasting Obsession Liquid Lipstick Collector's Edition, by comparison, has 15 liquid lipsticks and costs $240. Of course, there is only one Tom Ford. And his lipsticks are worth the splurge. Plus, if you’re a bit of a commitment-phobe, you can play around with a customizable three-piece version for $108.

The new shades are big on rich color, and all three finishes included in the kit—matte, cream, and metallic—are pretty much begging to be kiss tested. Bonus points if you can match the shade with a real-life test subject of the same name.
