Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette in The Rock Chick | Review and Swatches

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette in The Rock Chick is one of those palettes that I overlooked while shopping online because it is described as a palette of "silvery greys, charcoals and dark grey glitter shades"– and while I knew those shades would be perfect for my cool-toned skin, I really didn't need, or want, any more shades in that range. However, once I swatched this palette in person, I knew that I had to have it because it is, in fact, more of a taupe palette, and taupes are my all-time favorite shades.

While I did purchase it, it felt oddly familiar to me, and as I racked my brain trying to think of what I had that was similar, it hit me all of a sudden that it reminded me of my most beloved Tom Ford She Wolf Eyeshadow Palette (limited edition from 2013)– since that was many years old I couldn't confirm it with a short walk over to the Tom Ford Beauty counter. However, while at the Charlotte Tilbury counter I pulled up my review and swatches on LSBB which confirmed that my instincts were correct– they are very similar. Therefore, if you missed She Wolf, then The Rock Chick is a cruelty-free variant with four, instead of three, shadows– and it is not limited edition.

The four shadows are beautiful quality, and are all ultra-finely milled. The Prime, Enhance and Smoke shades are silky-smooth to the touch with a very creamy texture. They glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly and blend to perfection. The Pop shade, which is a glitter shade, has a slightly moist texture and is best applied with a clean fingertip for a pop of sparkle on the lid.

According to Charlotte Tilbury,

Darlings, my Luxury Palette eyeshadow palette in The Rock Chick features a quartet of silvery greys, charcoals & dark grey glitter shades for an enviable nonchalant makeup look!

Charlotte's Directions:

- Desk (day look): Using an eye blender brush, apply Prime to the entire eyelid with a backward and forward motion. Then, using a smudger brush, apply Prime to the inner corners of the eyes to open them. Nestle the Enhance shade in the outer corner of your eye socket using a smudger blush and blend. Then, using the same smudger brush, apply Enhance along the upper and lower lash line.

- Dusk (evening look): Begin by completing the entire Desk look. Then, using your smudger brush, blend Smoke from the outer corner of the eye upward and into the socket. Then, using the same brush, apply Smoke along the upper lash line and into the socket in a half-moon shape. Also run it along the lower lashline.

- Disco (night look): Repeat your Desk and Dusk look. Then, with your ring finger, apply the Pop shade to the center of your eyelid for amped-up glamour.
