Tom Ford Lipsticks. File under insanely gorgeous, absurdly priced and probably something you don’t need to splurge on. Everything Tom Ford touches is overpriced but there is no denying their lipsticks are stunning. A rich, creamy color that smells like vanilla cupcakes in heavy and shiny packaging. Having tried a few, I don’t find them to be any better than my other lipsticks, but they are beautiful! So, let’s dupe one of their most popular shades, a rosy pink shade called Pink Dusk.
Our favorite dupe for Tom Ford Pink Dusk lipstick is MAC Satin Lipstick in Faux! These two look identical on the skin, plus they both have a hydrating and satin finish. With Mac, you still get a high quality and luxury lipstick for less than half the price of Tom Ford’s lipsticks. There is no reason to splurge on Tom Ford when you have a dupe this good!
Tom Ford Lip Color In Pink Dusk Dupes
This lipstick has rare and exotic ingredients—including soja seed extract, brazilian murumuru butter, and chamomilla flower oil—create an ultra-creamy texture with an incredibly smooth application.
Tom Ford Pink Dusk Lipstick has a creamy, satin finish that is packed with hydrating ingredients. But don’t be fooled – the high price is for the name and packaging, not the hydrating ingredients. Shade wise it’s a neutral, rosy pink that is most flattering on light-medium skin tones.
Other than that, this lipstick isn’t anything out of the ordinary. Yes it’s beautiful but not worth the price tag. Any hydrating, creamy bullet lipstick in a rosy, pink shade will pose as a great alternative.
Mac Faux Satin Lipstick
Our Pick
This ultra-creamy formula features a smooth glide, bold colour payoff and medium to full buildable coverage.
Our favorite! Mac Faux looks just like Pink Dusk, maybe a hint darker but on the lips, it’s undetectable and just as gorgeous. Mac makes great lipsticks that are much more affordable than Tom Ford. For reference, Mac lipsticks are almost 1/3 of the price compared to Tom Ford. The satin finish on this lipstick is similar to the comfortable and creamy formula that Tom Ford’s lipsticks offer. This is the best dupe we’ve seen and you’re not sacrificing on luxury or formula but you’re saving tons.

This is a full-pigment lip color with a velvety-smooth ultra-matte finish and comfortable wearability.
This lipstick has a rosy pink shade with a hint of peach! In some light, Pink Dusk looks very rosy pink. And in some, it looks more pinky, nude rose and neutral. This one is the latter and pulls more neutral but still very pink. The finish on this is also different from Tom Ford’s lipsticks. This one is matte, full coverage and not creamy. While this isn’t a perfect dupe, Petal looks like Pink Dusk and it’s a much more long wearing formula.
Pros:

- This lipstick gets really great reviews!
- Still a luxury lipstick formula.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Tom Ford lipsticks shimmery?
Yes, some are and Pink Dusk actually is. Shimmer lipsticks aren’t very common because most people just layer a gloss over top. Plus, shimmery lipsticks tend to have a chunky formula and they never look as smooth. We had a hard time finding a shimmery dupe with the finesse of Tom Ford’s quality. Layer a gloss over to easily get that shimmery look sans the hefty price tag.
How long lasting is a cream lipstick?
This depends on the formula. That’s one thing consistently raved about when people review Tom Ford lipsticks. They’re hydrating but last so long and frankly, they’re priced very high so they should. Typically, a normal cream lipstick may last a few hours. They’ll need to be reapplied after drinking or eating normally.
What’s a matching lip liner I can pair with the Pink Dusk dupes?
Nyx Peekaboo Neutral liner is a neutral, rosy pink and it would pair so well with these Pink Dusk dupes! While not a necessity, a liner is nice for making your lipstick look perfect. Plus, it can help a more hydrating and creamy formula to last longer. Find it, here.
