The Tom Ford lipstick visuals are as racy as you would think

Fans of designer Tom Ford's overtly sexy fashion campaigns won't be disappointed with the imagery for his newly launched lipstick range.

Using his familiar theme of the playfully sexual couple, a woman can be seen provocatively holding the lipstick up to her mouth, which is already painted in the respective hue, while a man is approaching her face. Interestingly, her nails are painted in the same shade; maybe Ford is planning a nail polish range, too?

His Private Blend Lip Color Collection, which consists of 12 different shades - there are trendy nudes and corals as well as classic reds - hits European stores this month and will be released in the US in June. The products sell for around $45 each.

Tom Ford is just one of many fashion brands venturing into beauty on the quest for new markets, joining the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry.
