New Wave – sheer pinky beige with silver sparkle, not a lot of pigmentation
Pop – brown with burgundy / plum tones, wish this was burgundy or plum with no brown tones
Heavy Metal – blue iridescence and blue-violet sparkles on a charcoal base, I wish the blue was stronger than the black, but the blue didn’t want to show up. The violet shows up.

My Thoughts
I really like this palette! It’s got some unusual shades for Too Faced. First, the Fashion colors are not ones I normally see Too Faced release. New Wave and Rockabilly are both sheer, but they’re base shades so I think they’re meant to be sheer. While I was slightly disappointed with Pop (too brown, why does it look like such a pretty plum in the pan but turn so brown on my skin?) and Heavy Metal (the blue iridescence should have been stronger, it looks so awesome in the pan), the rest of the shades are great.

What do you think of the Too Faced Rock n’ Roll Eyeshadow Palette? Do you like the colors?

Pros

  • Cruelty free
  • Paraben free
  • More Unique colors
  • Good value
  • Overall good texture

Cons

  • Two colors didn’t translate well from the pan to the skin

  6. So many palettes coming out lately it seems. Can’t decide which ones I want!

  11. I like this palette but was on the fence about buying it… just because I don’t want repeat colors in what I can find already. lol Love your new theme 😉

  12. I really like this, but I agree with you about the plum needing to be that color on the skin, and not brown, and the blue shimmer in Heavy Metal needing to be more prominent. Still, these are my kind of colors!

  17. I think it’s stunning. Too bad there’s so much glitter in it or I’d be on it like white on rice.

  21. This would by far have to be my favorite palette from the new fall collection

  22. This palette looks stunning. I do want that eggplant like color to look that way on me. Guess I have to try it out. I have way too many browns so fingers crossed it looks as good on me as it does in the pan. Wonderful review!!

  23. I don’t feel like I need this one but I love Rap! Thanks for the swatches! It always helps/hurts my wallet 😉

  27. I really like the look of this palette, but I am a bit bummed about Pop. I wanted it to be more purple too! Thanks for the great swatches! 🙂

    1. I would recommend the Cat Eyes over the Rock n’ Roll. In order, 1. Cat Eyes 2. Rock n’ Roll 3. Country 🙂
