Urban Decay Fool's Gold & Starlight Moondust Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches
Fool's Gold
Urban Decay Fool’s Gold Moondust Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium-dark gold with strong, warm undertones and flecks of gold and copper sparkle throughout. It had sheer coverage applied dry, semi-sheer coverage applied with fingertip, and semi-opaque coverage applied with a dampened brush.
The texture was smooth, lightly emollient, and thin without being stiff or difficult to work with. It sat smoothly on my skin and blended out nicely without having fallout. It worked better as a lid shade as the darker, copper flecks of sparkle could sometimes give a patchy appearance when diffused (at least, against my skin tone). It wore well for eight hours with a smidgen of fallout over time.

Starlight
Urban Decay Starlight Moondust Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy orange with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling, high-shine finish with bluish tint. The texture felt smooth, lightly emollient but thin and not actually wet to the touch, so it was easy to pick up with a brush.
The eyeshadow had medium coverage applied with a dry brush and opaque coverage applied applied with a fingertip or a dampened brush. The wet application yielded a slightly more metallic, more sparkling finish. This shade stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours with a touch of fallout over time.

I’m glad I have dupes for Fool’s Gold. Looking at it closely, I’m a bit surprised it rated as highly with you as it did, Christine…it looks sort of uneven and scaly/patchy. Glad the comments option is fixed for this thread.
I love the shade colours but not the sparkly bits – even though they well made, I would still worry about the fall out getting into my eyes.
Starlight is simply stunning! However, since I intend to buy Nabla Coral Cutie, I probably won’t need Starlight because of that super close dupe in the palette.
Starlight is calling me.
