I need to be real with you: Tom Ford makeup is extremely expensive and there is a dupe for every product that is produced.
This is why I needed to write an informal post on the best Tom Ford makeup dupes because surely we can all find something that doesn’t break the bank.
I love makeup and reviewing makeup but I am sick of spending money on eyeshadow palettes that will sit in my drawer.
Tom Ford makeup also has amazing packaging so that is factored into the sky high prices.
I want my readers to know you don’t have to spend a LOT of money to get the same Tom Ford makeup look.
Keep reading about the best Tom Ford Makeup dupes and I challenge you to tell me that they aren’t better than the real thing!
Where to buy Tom Ford Makeup
Tom Ford makeup is pretty exclusive since the price is so high, only a few retailers carry it.
The best place to buy Tom Ford makeup in Canada and the United States is either at Sephora , Nordstrom or Holt Renfrew (Canada only).
You can buy directly from the Tom Ford website but I haven’t had experience with that so I cannot recommend it.
If you’re into collecting Sephora points, you should absolutely buy Tom Ford makeup from Sephora (check out the Sephora points system here).
Tom Ford Makeup Dupes for Face
In each of the sections I’ll give you a few dupes from the drugstore or other luxury makeup brands. This is because you may already have some of these items in your collection.
Tom Ford Soleil Bronzer Dupes
The Tom Ford bronzer I am going to dupe is the Soleil Bronzer in the colour 01 Gold Shimmer Finish . What’s so great is about the Soleil Bronzer is that its huge and will last you forever.
The Marc Jacobs Coconut Bronzer is the closest dupe to the Soleil Bronzer but it is still just as expensive. I love the size of it too as it is comparable to the Soleil Glow Bronzer. However, the Marc Jacobs Coconut Bronzer MAY be on its way out because I’ve seen it on sale at Sephora.
If you want a drugstore dupe of the Tom Ford Soleil Gold Shimmer Bronzer you will want to check out the L’Oreal Lumi Glow True Match Bronzer. This can be purchased here at Amazon for $16.96 CAD.
Tom Ford Soleil Glow Bronzer L’Oreal True Match Lumi Glow Bronzer
This is almost an exact dupe! The shimmer milled very finely so you don’t have to worry about big flecks of gold but the pay off is almost identical.
Other dupes of the Soleil Glow Bronzer:
- Marc Jacobs – O!Mega Bronzer Coconut Perfect Tan
- Charlotte Tilbury – Airbrush Bronzer (read the full review here)
- Too Faced – Sunny Bunny Bronzer
Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick Dupe
The famous Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick is expensive at $55 USD but let’s face it: you’re getting two products in one. In the summer, the Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick is really all you need from a cream blush and highlight. I have found the perfect dupe for the Soleil Glow Stick that I have searched high and low for!
You will want the dupe for the Glow Stick before Tom Ford Makeup has discontinued the stick in all colours except 04 Courchevel.
The Clarins “Glow-to-Go” highlighter stick in 02 Golden Peach is an exact match for the Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick in the Tom Ford Shade 02 Soleil Neige (Sun/Snow).
For $35 CAD this is a steal for the perfect cream and bronzing stick. I would suggest picking this up asap because this won’t last through the summer!
Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Dupes
The Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate is one of the best cream bronzing and highlighting palettes on the market. Yes it’s expensive but is it good? It’s amazing!
If you swear by cream products you should go for the more expensive one from Tom Ford and be done with it.
If you can’t afford it, there are other options for the Shade and Illuminate but you may have to use two different products.
Here are my picks for the ultimate Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate makeup dupes:
Best Cream Bronzer Dupes for Shade:
Best Cream Highlight Dupes for Illuminate:
- Becca Skin Love Glow Glaze Stick
- Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Color Bronze + Glow in Illumi-Naughty – Hilite + Glow: pop of pearl
I would take the two Nudestix products as the full dupes of the Shade and Illuminate. Also, they come in a stick form which is actually better than the cream palette by Tom Ford.
Let me know if you have any other thoughts on cream bronzers and highlighters to complete this list.
Tom Ford Makeup Lipstick Dupes
Now we get into the fun part: Tom Ford Lipstick! Everyone rants and raves about these beauties because they are so moisturizing and the colour payoff is glorious.
I’ve done my best to find a dupe for the best selling Tom Ford lipsticks so buckle up! If the shade you desire isn’t in this list please let me know and I’ll do more research.
The majority of the lipstick dupes I’ve found are from the drugstore because I believe you can find any luxury lipstick shade already created.
Tom Ford Indian Rose
Indian Rose is a warm pink but has more of the brown tones in it. Actually, it is quite similar to the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk shade (read about my review here).
As you can see, Indian Rose looks different based on your skin tone. On darker skin it acts as a subtle nude but on lighter skin you can see there’s a brown tone to the pink.
The best dupe I’ve found of Indian Rose is by Milani in the shade “Rose Femme“. You can see these side by side in the image below about how similar the colour is.
Tom Ford – Indian Rose Milani Cosmetics – Rose Femme
The Tom Ford lipstick shade appears a bit darker but they are both a lipstick bullet.
Another dupe is Mac’s Twig which also is very similar to Indian Rose, especially because Twig has a matching lip liner from Mac.
Other dupes of Indian Rose:
Tom Ford Spanish Pink
Spanish Pink is a bright peachy hue. This is perfect for any spring and summer looks where you’re using a warm peach tone to your makeup.
If you look at the difference between Spanish Pink and Indian Rose you’ll see that the Spanish Pink is on the pinkier side versus a richer shade of Indian Rose.
The best dupe for Spanish Pink that I have found is Pout About it by TooFaced. The consistency of the lipstick is also very similar: it’s a satin finish with a ton of moisture.
I’ve seen some people say that Pillow Talk is a closer dupe to Spanish Pink than Indian Rose but I disagree and think that Spanish Pink is a lot lighter than Indian Rose.
Other dupes of Spanish Pink:
Tom Ford Pink Dusk
Pink Dusk is another amazing nude pink which is on the lighter side. This is a true pinky nude and is described as a neutral pink.
The most perfect dupe for Tom Ford’s Pink Dusk is Keep it Koi by Colourpop or Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in “Bare it All”.
Tom Ford Pink Dusk Mac Cosmetics Faux
Other dupes of Pink Dusk:
- Charlotte Tilbury – Dancefloor Princess
- Mac Cosmetics – Faux
- Clinique – Nude Pop
- NARS – Vanessa or Catfight
- Bobbi Brown – Nude Reality
Tom Ford Velvet Orchid
Velvet Orchid may be the perfect berry shade I have ever stumbled upon.
It’s a limited edition so unfortunately it is no longer available.
I’ll just say that the perfect dupe for this shade is by Mac Cosmetics called “Burning Love“.
Tom Ford calls his fragrance Velvet Orchid so if you are looking for a fragrance dupe keep scrolling below.
Tom Ford Eyeshadow Dupes
Tom Ford Golden Peach Eye Colour (Limited Edition)
Everyone wants to get their hands on the Tom Ford Golden Peach Eye Colour which is a limited edition. This is a very unique eye product because it includes a cream and powder eye colour in one package.
Golden peach is so lustrous it goes on with minimal effort.
The shadow is a warm rose and the cream is a pale pink. You can wear these alone or together, where you would put the cream eye shadow on the bottom and use the powder shadow for more dimension.
This eye colour is packed with the most glistening diamond shimmer. In fact, when you wear a topper you don’t even need to use anything else.
I have found the perfect dupe for the Golden Peach Eye Colour from other brands such as Natasha Denona and Charlotte Tilbury.
Tom Ford Golden Peach Eye Colour Charlote Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize in Rose Gold
The closest dupe for the Golden Peach Eye Colour is from Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize in Rose Gold
Other dupes of the Golden Peach Eye Colour:
- Laura Mercier – Caviar Stick in Nude Rose (Full review here)
- Natasha Denona Chroma Crystal Top Coat – Nude
- Charlotte Tilbury – Champagne Diamonds
- Hourglass – Scattered Light Glitter Eye Shadow in Reflect
Tom Ford Emotionproof Eye Colour Abyssinian Dupe
The emotion proof eye colour is a unique product by Tom Ford. It’s a muted cream eyeshadow that is supposed to provide a natural payoff.
The cream shadow is supposed to last for up to 24 hours.
The Emotionproof Eye Colour only comes in 4 shades because it is supossed to match your skin tone and provide depth on the eyelid.
The closest dupe to the Emotionproof Eye Colour is the Pro Longwear Paint Pot by Mac Cosmetics which have been newly reformulated.
Tom Ford Emotionproof Eye Colour – Abyssinian Mac Cosmetics Pro Longwear Paint Pot – Groundwork
The shade “Groundwork” is almost an exact dupe of Abyssinian! Quick though – if you like the Tom Ford version there aren’t many left around.
Tom Ford Honeymoon Eyeshadow Palette Dupe Shades
In order to dupe the Tom Ford Honeymoon eyeshadow palette, I’m going to give you a list of the colours from top to bottom as there is not one dupe that is found for the entire palette.
I know this is an expensive palette but the beauty of the Honeymoon Eyeshadow Palette is that all of the colours are very unique. They may not appear so but the shimmers and chromatic elements of the colours all work together.
