Tom Ford Beauty recently revamped their line with new formulas and packaging for 2026. The brand still includes a velvet pouch with every Eye Color Quad, along with two double-ended brush/spongetip applicators. Surprisingly, this reformulation increased the product amount to 7.2g (up from 6g). The Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Monlight Dip is a wet/dry formula. When applied dry, the eyeshadows give a soft, sheer look, and when applied wet, they give a bold, dramatic finish. I don’t personally use eyeshadows wet, so I’m not sure how much that helps this formula. However, I don’t think that they apply sheer when applied dry. They have enough opacity for my skin tone to see the colors as they appear in the pan. I can agree that they are soft, though. I just felt like I wanted more oomph from the pigment with this quad. I’ve worn these eyeshadows for 8-9 hours each time and haven’t had any creasing or fading. I do wear them with the MAC 24HR Eye Base as my eye primer, for reference.

Compared to the old wet/dry formula, I find Moonlight Dip slightly less pigmented. I have a medium-dark skin tone (NARS Tahoe/Estee Lauder 4W4) with an olive undertone, and I do wonder if part of the issue is that the two lightest shades in Moonlight Dip are too soft for my coloring. Another consideration is that my other Tom Ford quads are much older and worn down, so they might be more pigmented once you break through the design in the pan.
As with the old wet/dry formula, all of the eyeshadows in the Tom Ford Moonlight Dip Quad are smooth, pigmented (but buildable), and easy to use. I can use any brush or my fingers, and they are always easy and quick to apply. They have a good impact on my skin tone without any chunky or glittery texture. That does make them less metallic than other eyeshadow finishes, but on the plus side, they don’t accentuate texture issues. All the shades have some degree of shimmer and are labeled “shimmer” on the back of the quad. The deepest shade has less shine and dimension, so it can add some depth (on my skin tone) and be used in the crease if you aren’t picky about that. Going back to the point of the soft colors. The top two shades do look very similar on me, but the undertone of the top-right shade is pink enough that I do see the difference. However, the eye looks do kind of end up looking the same overall. In the first look below, I used all 4 shades; in the second, I left out the top-right pink shade.

Final Thoughts
I enjoy the quality and experience of using Tom Ford Beauty products, but I no longer buy them at full price. I purchased the Moonlight Dip Eye Color Quad from Saks Fifth Avenue with my AMEX credit card to get a $50 rebate. Other than that, I purchase Tom Ford products at the Cosmetics Company Outlet, an outlet store for brands under the Estee Lauder Companies’ Umbrella. I don’t dislike the products; I just think they are overpriced, but I don’t think that is breaking news to anyone.
As I mentioned in my review of the older quads, I find it hard to steer anyone toward the Tom Ford Quads ($96) when Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette Quads are $58, and Pat McGrath Luxe Quads are $62. Charlotte Tilbury and Pat McGrath Eyeshadows are different from one another (and different from Tom Ford), but I still think that, for the price, I would recommend those over Tom Ford. If you are a luxury makeup shopper who is comfortable with the price (or you like and enjoy the old formula), I do think you will enjoy the 2026 version of Tom Ford’s Wet/Dry formula.
