Soleil et Lune is another limited edition eyeshadow quad from Tom Ford's 2019 winter collection. Compared to Soleil Neige which is a full-on cool smokey eye quad (reviewed), I would say Soleil et Lune is more neutral including both warm and cool shades. All colors in Soleil et Lune have this icy quality suitable for a winter collection, but these days I find wearing this quad more enjoyable because of that. You see, not everyone wants to wear smoldering bronzy shades in summer.
(A glamour shot... I like the white packaging.)
I think the color story is quite unique and beautiful! I also love that this quad features all shimmery shades in Tom Ford's signature gel-powder formula. You can use them wet for more intense color payoffs but I am just happy to use them dry using brushes. If I apply the colors with my fingers, the colors adhere better and become a bit more metallic.
(Oops, I initially captioned it wrong. Soleil D'Hiver is a warm brown quad from the same collection and seems most popular among the three since now it is only available on eBay with hefty markups.)
On top of being so gorgeous, these colors apply smoothly depositing just the right amount of pigment on the skin. I wouldn't say they are super pigmented when applied dry, but they just meld with skin and stay pretty for many hours.
I love that each shade has this beautiful undertone. The pale vanilla doesn't look harsh because of the slightly warm undertone. The light bronze is quite rosy and the grey flashes purple. And, the green - it's so pretty! It's a mint green that is cool enough for me to pull off plus it doesn't look chalky. LOVE.
I've worn this palette already more than a few times and I really like the look when I base my lids first with a sheer black creme base and lightly apply these colors over. For today's look though, I just used Soleil et Lune quad only to show you the colors better.

For me, this is more of a summer eyeshadow palette and I know I would enjoy this pretty quad for years to come. I purchased mine off the Tom Ford website on sale but this particular quad is no longer available there. You can still find it here and here although they are sold at a full price.
