Tom Ford Insolent Rose Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches
Insolent Rose
Tom Ford Beauty Insolent Rose Eye Color Quad ($88.00 for 0.35 oz.) includes one matte shade, two semi-matte shades, and one sparkly shade. The quality was so-so, and obviously at this price point, it has to perform exactly as you want it to–whatever that might be for your personal preferences–but this wasn’t as pigmented nor as easy to work with as marketed.

Insolent Rose #2
Insolent Rose #2 is a light pink with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling finish. It had semi-sheer coverage applied dry and more semi-opaque coverage applied with a dampened brush or with a fingertip. The texture was more emollient, so it had good adhesion to bare skin with minimal fallout. It wore well for eight hours with light fallout over time.

PiPPermanent in Palette.
Insolent Rose #4
Insolent Rose #4 is a dirty, medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It seemed like it had a bit of a lighter, purplish shift, but the pigmentation was so weak that it was so hard to tell. The texture was smooth and velvety to the touch, so it was finely-milled without being too powdery, but it had a lot of slip, which made it harder to get it to adhere to bare skin or apply evenly. It lasted for six hours before fading visibly.

Nearly $100 for something that bad!
Unless it’s from 99¢ Only or Dollar Tree, this palette’s quality is atrocious. Unfortunately, nope, it’s an $88 DOLLAR eyeshadow quad. What a rip-off. What a sham.
I would resent wasting even the $1 for a bargain version… I never like wasting money but this is just inexcusable. And yet he gets away with it and there’s no shortage of people saying “oh, but I LOOOVE Tom Ford….”
For that much scratch the rose should be a little less insolent, lol.
Lol
Another case of Emperor Tom having no clothes! These aren’t my sort of colours but really, it’s pretty disgraceful at this price point!
I guess it’s pretty insolent of the Tom Ford brand to expect his customers to accept this folly….holy cow – that is about the third brand this week that has delivered something really, really poor.
I love these colors so of course the palette itself is hot garbage. ARGH.
This makes those $12 ColourPop quads seem like a good investment 🥴
This color theme looks like Natasha Zendo which is $25 lol
What’s in a name, Tom Ford, what’s in a name? Loads of money in yours obviously, but don’t expect the very, very rich to always say: Oh, but it’s Tom Ford! One day they will wake up and notice that it’s not roses they are smelling but the stench of your bank account.
Shame on you, Tom Ford!
And a super huge Thank You to Christine for telling it like it is!
YESSS!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Considering this comes out to 22$ a shade this better be PERFECT!!!
Pretty but entirely durable- money saved.
Ugh, this was the one I was most interested in! Oh well I’ll stick with the Pat McGrath Eternal Eden quad which is a similar colour story.
Thank you for the very helpful review.
I was going to go to a department store today. I’m lucky to be able to read your review.
For such a terrible color, Canmake, which is sold at drug stores for 800 yen, seems to be several times more useful.
I had no idea that this was the exact same palette as seductive Rose except for the one Shimmer in the bottom left-hand Corner those are the only difference in these pallets I am so disappointed that I got them both Why did no one mention this in any of the videos I watched
Three of the four shades were quite different for me!
