Urban Decay Liquid Moondust Eyeshadow

What it is:
The cream version of Urban Decay’s coveted Moondust Eyeshadow. The Liquid Moondust contains micro-fine bits of iridescent sparkle and lush, 3-D metallics to produce a gorgeous, diamond-like effect.  Whether you want to add just a hint of sparkle at the lash line or layer color all over the eyelid, the slim, precise brush helps you do it all. 


Shades in the Collection:
  • Chem Trail (oyster with iridescent sparkle)
  • Zap (gold with tonal sparkle)
  • Spacetime (deep coppery bronze with iridescent sparkle)
  • Recharged (peach with pink shift and sparkle)
  • Solstice (pink-red with green 3-D sparkle and shift)
  • Vega (bright blue with iridescent sparkle)
  • Zodiac (smoky black w/blue-green shift and blue-green 3-D sparkle)
  • Magnetic (purple with iridescent sparkle)

Swatches:
Colors from L-R: Chem Trail, Zap, Spacetime, Recharged, Solstice, Vega, Zodiac, & Magnetic

Verdict: These tubes are filled with sparkly, glitter happiness. I am not ashamed to admit that shiny things distract me and these new Urban Decay liquid shadows did just that. I wish the photos did the product justice but it is so difficult to fully capture the shimmer in these beauties. 

The colors in the collection are a great range of neutrals and dramatic shades however the formula does lack consistency. You can see the difference in opacity in the picture above. This isn't a huge issue but you will have to do multiply coats to get the opaque look you desire with certain colors. 

All in all, I am a fan of these new liquid eye shadows. They are highly pigmented and just give off a glamorous vibe.
