Tom Ford Double Indemnity Eye Color Quad Review & Swatches

Double Indemnity (05)

Tom Ford Beauty Double Indemnity (05) Eye Color Quad ($88.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a new, permanent quad that features a pale white, faded green, taupe, and sparkly black. There was a nice amount of contrast between light and dark, though those who are serious about having at least one matte will be less enthused that all four shades have shimmer to them with the sparkly black having the least shimmer. The eyeshadows were pigmented, smooth, blendable, and easy to work with. The gel-powder formula used in this quad, and the two others released alongside it, seems slightly softer and silkier than past iterations by the brand.

Double Indemnity #1

Double Indemnity #1 is a bright, warm white with a twinkling, metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation applied dry but had a slightly smoother and more opaque coverage when applied with a wet brush. The texture felt smooth, softer than past iterations of the brand’s gel-powder formula, and was blendable without being prone to sheering out. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Double Indemnity #2

Double Indemnity #2 is a muted, light-medium green with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had good color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer when applied dry and full coverage in one layer when applied with a wet brush. The texture was soft, smooth, and finely-milled with a denser, slightly firmer feel but was more yielding than most types of this formula (including past versions in the quads). It stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Double Indemnity #3

Double Indemnity #3 is a medium-dark taupe-brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a satin sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, blendable texture that was dense without being too firmly pressed in the pan. It appeared deeper and slightly cooler-toned when applied with a wet brush but the coverage was still opaque with a dry brush. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Double Indemnity #4

Double Indemnity #4 is a medium-dark black with neutral-to-cool undertones and flecks of multi-colored sparkle over a more matte finish. Applied dry, it had good color payoff in a single layer but was softer and had light fallout during application, though a good amount of the sparkle got lost in my brush. Applied wet, it had rich pigmentation and had more sparkles that showed up on my lid with a bit less fallout. The texture was soft, a little drier than the other shades but blendable. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading a bit on me.
