The Moondust pallet became available in the UK online last week and I could not click 'add to bag' fast enough!
Urban Decay already have a range of single Moondust eyeshadows in their collection which are high pigmented shadows with an iridescent sparkle and can be used wet or dry to create an eye catching look. I really love these eyeshadows and they have the best glitter pigment out of any other similar shadows that I have tried.
I love creative makeup and I am never afraid to add a pop or colour or glitter to a makeup. I understand that this pallet won't be everyone's cup of tea however for me it is a dream.
On the other hand, I think that you could definitely use the shadows in moderation and create a subtle glamorous look which isn't too bold or dramatic- the shades Specter and Lithium are lovely nude shimmers.
I think that Urban Decay have picked the perfect range of shades for this pallet which allows you to create multiple different looks.
Inside you will find 8 new shades, including Specter, Element, Magnetic, Lightyear, Granite, Lithum, Vega and Galaxy. All of the shadows are extremely pigmented and all have a glitter finish.
Specter is a pretty shimmering pink with gold reflects. I think that this shade would look great used as a highlight on the inner corner of the eye or alternatively packed all over the eye lid with matte shadows blended through the crease.
Element is a warm red copper with pink sparkle. Element is extremely pigmented and is the ultimate summer 'fire' colour. I love it and I know that it will look stunning as a spotlight on the eye lid.
Magnetic is a great deep purple with lots of glitter. I know that this is a colour that I will get a lot of use out of and it will look great used when creating a deep smoky eye- perfect for parties and special occasion makeup!
Lightyear is a bright grass green with blue sparkle. This is unlike any other eyeshadow that I have in my collection and I am so excited to start using it. Lightyear is probably one of the brightest and most 'unwearable' shades in the pallet however I know that it will be great to use when I want to achieve a dramatic and creative look.
Granite is a dull grey with lots of silver glitter. This will be the perfect addition to a matte smoky eye to add a special touch.
Lithium is a bronze gold and would perfectly compliment a warm smoky eye. I like that Urban Decay have included a range of both warm and cool tones to this pallet, for example Lithium is a great warm shade and Granite is a lovely cool alternative.
Vega is a strong ocean blue. I love shades like this and I know that I will get a lot of use out of it.
Galaxy is a beautiful space blue with grey tones. Galaxy is a very unique shade which gives off different tones in various lights- I love it!
Overall I am extremely impressed with the Moondust eyeshadow pallet and I know that I will be using it a lot. Although it may look over the top and unwearable I can assure you that almost every makeup lover will be able to find a way to make it work for them.
I love the packaging, price, quality and shade range and am yet to fault anything.
