What Are the Four Shades in the Moondust Full Shimmer Quad?
Urban Decay's own product imagery names and describes each shade:
- Cosmic Quartz: white and silver shimmer
- Space Cowboy Rides Again: light peach shimmer with silver glitter
- Rock Solid: magenta and lilac shimmer
- Starry Haze: lilac shimmer with silver pearls
According to Durbin Rock, Space Cowboy Rides Again is the one existing Moondust shade in the palette, and the other three are new.
What Is the Moondust Formula Like?
Urban Decay describes the finish as "shade-shifting micro sparkles" with a luminous finish, and claims up to 12 hours of wear (a self-assessment of 100 subjects). Per Durbin Rock, the formula feels like a cream but applies like a powder, with microfine sparkle and no chunky glitter.
How Do You Wear It?
The brand's four-step look uses every shade:
- Apply Starry Haze all over the lid.
- Add Cosmic Quartz to the inner corner.
- Apply Rock Solid along the lash line as eyeliner.
- Finish with mascara.
Is This the Same Palette as Moondust Stargaze?
It appears so. Both Glam Junkies and Durbin Rock say the European release is the same palette Sephora sold as the Moondust Stargaze Eyeshadow Palette, and Durbin Rock describes Stargaze with the same four shade names. Our take: if you already own Stargaze, you don't need this one for the shades.
When Does It Launch in Europe, and What Does It Cost?
- Reported by the sources we checked: European availability from September 18, 2026 (Glam Junkies). Retailers named include Cult Beauty (Glam Junkies) and Lookfantastic and Debenhams (Durbin Rock). Durbin Rock lists the palette at £10 per shadow, against £22 for a standalone Moondust shadow, and calls it limited edition.
- Not confirmed: euro pricing, German retailers such as Douglas or Sephora Deutschland, and limited-edition status from Urban Decay itself.
Our Take
Our analysis: this is a compact, lavender-leaning shimmer set. Three of the four shades sit in the pink-to-lilac range, and Cosmic Quartz works as a bright highlight. Urban Decay's swatches show all four on a light and a deep skin tone. On the deeper arm, Cosmic Quartz and Starry Haze look like sheer sparkle rather than solid color, so they may work best as toppers. If the £10-per-shadow price is right, the palette works out to £40, less than two standalone Moondust shadows at £22 each (£44).
We'll update this article once Urban Decay or a European retailer confirms euro pricing and availability.
