It is on sale now at Ulta Beauty and online only at Sephora as of October 2026. Urban Decay's other new launch this season is the [Urban Decay When Sip Happens Lip Toy Duo](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/2530), a limited-edition Sephora app exclusive. ## Quick Facts | Detail | Info | | --- | --- | | Brand | Urban Decay | | Product | Chrome Melts High-Pigment Metallic Eyeshadow | | Release date | October 2026 | | Price | $26 (US) | | Availability | US: Ulta Beauty, Sephora (online only) | | Shades | 5 | | Finish | Metallic chrome, duo and triple chrome shifts | | Size | 0.05 oz / 1.5 g | ## What's New According to Urban Decay, Chrome Melts uses **freeze-dried technology**, described on the Sephora listing as a "liquid-to-frozen cryo-extraction process." The brand says this locks in emollient-coated pigments for a buttery feel, easy pickup and richer colour payoff. Urban Decay describes the result as an "explosive multi-dimensional chromatic finish" with a silky, blendable texture that "melts onto lids." The campaign images call it "our most multi-dimensional eyeshadow" and "our most buttery formula yet." Key ingredients on the Sephora ingredient list include: - **Silica** - **Aluminum powder**, which gives the metallic effect - **Squalane** - **Glycerin** - **Tocopherol** ## Shades The metallic eyeshadow comes in five shades. Two are foils, one is a triple chrome shift and two are duo chrome shifts: ![Hand with almond nails holding an open clear compact of Hot Head, its copper red ridges flashing gold.](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/b4686602-450d-49d6-af60-d926d01e2120.webp) ![Grid of five shade swatches beside eye looks on three skin tones: Crash Out, Hot Head, Zero Chill, Temper Tantrum, Bit Moody.](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/d1f3e178-978d-4806-9dc7-f0284ed6e0ae.webp) ![Hot Head compact on a background of molten red and gold metal, with text "Melts like liquid metal.](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/628af603-56cc-457a-b47d-d66368134420.webp) ![Model with silver shimmer lids holds a silver Urban Decay compact to her cheek; text reads "Freeze dried technology.](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/c070c8ff-54f3-4ef4-81c5-980341667542.webp) ![Hot Head on three eyes shifting from gold to red, plus a crushed swatch labeled amber red](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/1b566c45-37b3-4b38-9e5a-153e1f5bab4d.webp) - **Bit Moody:** champagne with silver gold foil - **Temper Tantrum:** silver foil - **Hot Head:** amber red with green gold triple chrome shift - **Zero Chill:** blue with violet duo chrome shift - **Crash Out:** green with gold duo chrome shift On Sephora US, **Hot Head** is listed as "Coming Soon" with availability from 11 October 2026.

Remove with an **oil-based makeup remover**. ## Key Details - Each shade is sold as a single pan, not as part of a palette. - Prices are the same at both US retailers: $26 at Ulta Beauty and $26 at Sephora. - Sephora sells the shadows online only.
