Charlotte Tilbury Fire Rose Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches
Fire Rose
Charlotte Tilbury Fire Rose Eyeshadow Quad ($53.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a new, limited edition holiday quad featuring three shimmery eyeshadows with one matte eyeshadow to anchor the concept. The four shades coordinated well together, and while they looked more similar in the pans, they had greater contrast when applied to the lid. The shimmers were pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with, while the matte shade had mostly opaque coverage and was blendable, but it darkened a few shades and did not appear quite as red in action as it did in the pan.

Fire Rose (Prime)
Fire Rose (Prime) is a medium, rosy copper with light, warmer undertones and a metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented with as smooth, lightly dense consistency that felt creamier but not overly thick or stiff, so it applied evenly and blended out nicely. This shade lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Fire Rose (Enhance)
Fire Rose (Enhance) is a darker, rich bronze with moderate, warm undertones and a smooth, metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and diffused well along the edges. The texture was lightly creamy, dense but not too thick or too firmly-pressed into the pan, and was easy to work with. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

LELimited Edition.
Fire Rose (Super Pop)
Fire Rose (Super Pop) is high-shine, medium gold with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It’s a new “Super Pop” finish, which just seems to be even more intense than the Pop finish. The texture was much, much more cream-like and felt almost wet to the touch.
It had opaque color coverage with a creamier consistency that picked up well with a brush and had good adhesion. It was still quite sparkly but seemed to be finer and paired with a shinier finish compared to the regular Pop finish. It wore well for eight and a half hours with very minimal fallout over time.

Fire Rose (Super Pop)
LELimited Edition.
Fire Rose (Smoke)
Fire Rose (Smoke) is a deep, more muted red with warmer undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, more finely-milled, and blendable with light powderiness and a touch of fallout during application.
The “issue” I had with this shade was that it darkened quite a bit when applied to my lid, even when I tried it over an eyeshadow primer (Smashbox 24HR, which is a drier, more silicone-heavy primer, so it shouldn’t have introduced any reason for darkening!) and lost a fair amount of the redness–more of a deep, reddish-brown. The eyeshadow had nearly opaque pigmentation, which could be built up, that lasted for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

How beautiful is this quad? Perfectly co-ordinated with stunning shades. Love it. And your eye look is just gorgeous Christine.
What a beautiful and very rich looking quad! If I didn’t already have the spectacular Bejeweled palette, I would have gotten this. Although to be clear, I much prefer Bejeweled because I can get so many looks out of it!
I ordered this quad after seeing so many raves across the board. I’m glad your rating agrees! I can’t wait to receive mine!
I have been wanting to buy eye shadow from Charlotte Tilbury ever since I tried her foundation and flawless powder! This might be the one I go for; unless I think one of the larger palettes is a better choice for my skin tone. Any recommendations from folks are welcome!!
Not sure what color story to suggest, but I would definitely stick to releases post the large Pillow Talk and Desert Haze palettes. Her formula changed from what her older palettes were. While the older ones weren’t ‘bad,’ the newer formulas are so much better and more ‘worth’ your money in my opinion. Good luck!
Ooohh, thank you for the heads up!
Shani, I have a friend with your skin tone and she is in LOVE with Dazzling Diamonds. She creates looks from the palette alone as well as using it to add shimmers to other looks. I know she tried both my Chanel Blurry Green and CT Rebel and was on the fence. But they looked really good on her.
I love shimmers! I’m going to take a look at your recommendation. Thank you!!
By your pic, this one should look fabulous. As long as you’re full up with Pat, that is.
Lol Pat has become my new bestie!! I mean, she doesn’t know it, but it’s true 😉
This is the first C.T. Quad I love.
Beautiful look Christine !
I was so close to order this palette when I bought my eyebrow pencil, whatever they are called, anyway,, the one called Super Model. I decided to wait and check for reviews and forgot all about it.
It really is a nice looking quad, but now I think I’ll probably pass as I do have, if not dupes, but at least shades similar enough.
I received this quad today! It really is a beautiful color story – nothing new for Charlotte but I like that she’s innovating on her pop formula. I hope she comes out with similar quads in this formula.
this is beautiful!
A bit too warm for me – especially that last shade, which is the type I’m trying to “embrace” (though the ones I have that almost work for me are less matte). Still, nice to see this one scoring so well.
I’m not gonna lie.. I like it, but I can dupe this many times over.
