@ShortErica this is fascinating! 

[ShortErica]

That is interesting @eshoe. Now if we see similar products the first thing I'll think is see if they have the same parent company and then match ingredients. I'm sure there are plenty that have close if not exact matches. Though it stinks we need to hunt for dupes when products get discontinued.

Are the tom ford bronzers really worth the money ?

I currently use the bobbi brown bronzer and think it is nice but a little too pigmented for my fair skin. 

[BeansCat]

I love terra and gold dust but I’m more of the light medium to medium color spectrum so I’m not sure if you would love it. Honestly my most used bronzer is the Marc Jacobs’s coconut bronzer. You can go in heavy headed but it blends like a dream.

@m3rc3d3s  The CCOs have stock of TF bronzers, so if you find a shade that suits you in the current formula, the CCOs would be a less expensive way to try them out. I heard the bronzers being released are a new formula.

[suzyo]

@TraceyEB  you're right, the Soleil Bronzers are a different formula, and Temptalia's review of Terra states it's a different color. I guess that makes my recommendation useless lol.

[TraceyEB]

@suzyoOn the contrary, your suggestion might just help someone in the community find the right bronzer in the TF's bronzer range. Still very useful information. 🙂

[blackkitty2014]

Your recommendation is not useless @suzyo . Both formulas are still in stock at various retailers. I think eventually they will bring the Ultimate Bronzer version to COO. I have that one too. I enjoy it. I might hoard the new formula in different shade in Nov/Dec

[suzyo]

@m3rc3d3s I have the Ultimate Bronzer in Terra, and I love it. I have dry skin and most bronzers look so patchy on me, but the Tom Ford is so smooth. Mine doesn't have a scent though. It looks like they just changed the name to Soleil Glow, but the ones available now look like the same formula that I have. There was a $70 version that was a different formula, but had the same color names (lots of reviews noted a difference in color despite the names being the same).

@m3rc3d3s I love the Tom Ford bronzer in Terra. If you are looking for a matte bronzer this is perfect for you. It does have a scent to it. I saw Patrick Ta use it and had to add it to my collection.  It looks great on my light skin tone.

I swatched some of the Emotionproof shades in store today. They are pretty heavy duty; I ran my hand under a faucet and tried to rub them off and they wouldn’t budge. Even trying to take them off with micellar water I had to scrub really hard.

I've seen the chatter online that these are basically MAC paint pots; I've never tried paint pots so I don't know, but visually the mattes ones did appear similar to them - so if you wanted any of the mattes, you might want to check MAC for a duplicate shade first. These have a thick, heavy feel but once it set down, I couldn't rub them off. They're not moussey like the existing cream shadows; these are more like Armani Eye & Brow Maestro or Givenchy Ombre Couture.

In terms of shades that the shimmery ones might duplicate, Brut Rose is quite similar to Young Adonis, but with a pinkish tinge. Casino is very, very similar to an old discontinued shade called Illicit. Starmaker is pretty close to Sphinx, but without the peachy shift. I didn't find anything similar to Giggolo or Minimalist within the TF range.

Some comparisons to existing/old shades

Comparisons: Brut Rose, Opale, Young Adonis, Casino, Illicit, Giggolo, Spice

@Mochapj  OMG thank you so much for your detailed swatches and comparisons! Reformulation or not, I really like these metallic ones! Hope they work well on lids. The regular TF pots are working fine for me. 

[Winthrop44]

The shimmery ones look nice. I've always regretted missing Illicit. I wonder if this means the end of the other formula?

[Mochapj]

@Winthrop44 My SA mentioned something to that effect when I spoke to her about upcoming launches last week.

ive noticed the more colourful shades (Sphinx, Siren Blue, Midnight Violet) no longer exist on the TF website.

it would be a shame if they do, I don’t think this new formula will be as forgiving for textured eyelids.

[TraceyEB]

@MochapjI had no idea that MAC paint pots were being discontinued or that TF's cream shadows were being phased out. (or some cream shadows) were being discontinued. I wouldn't have considered a MAC formula being adopted by TF, maybe by Smashbox. I've been more aware of some eyeshadow palette design similarities between Bobbi Brown and Estee Lauder brands, and Wayne Goss once found a MAC and Smashbox foundation with the same ingredients but sold at different price points.

[Mochapj]

@TraceyEB  I’m not sure when it happened as I don’t follow MAC updates at all but they used to have a very large, colourful range of paint pots. At some point they were rebranded as Pro Wear Paint Pots (I believe that’s the specific name) and currently all they sell are a handful of neutrals; all others were DC.

TBH I’m not surprised TF decided to get in on the action. I know people are outraged because of the price disparity but I think of how positively talked up Paint Pots have been by people on YT etc for years and it starts to make sense why the TF brand would want to get in on that popularity from their customer base as well 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Winthrop44]

Ugh, that stinks...textured eyelids...that would be me! 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @Mochapj .  I like the look of Casino more and more.  I need to hunt it down 😉

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014Casino was the shade that I had my eye on, too.

[blackkitty2014]

@TraceyEB If it is a dupe of Mac paint pot then I will skip. I didn’t like the texture of Mac paint pot then so I dont think I would like it now 😓
