I have this from their 'Feminine Palette'. It's a pretty peachy champagne colour however like other reviewers have stated, it has alot of glitter/fallout which makes it harder to pick up using a brush. I prefer patting this on with a dense brush rather than sweeping since it picks up the pigment much better. It has a shimmery sheen that looks a bit too frosty if you apply too much in my opinion. Not my favourite shade that they make.

Glitter everywhere! I love a shadow with glitter which is why I purchased this. There is so much fallout as soon as you put it on your lid. I had glitter fall in my eyes and all over my face. It was difficult to remove from my under-eye area and could only remove it with makeup remover. No bueno!

Boy, talk about a glittery mess! Despite MAC P&P! Seriously, what were they thinking?

I like the glitter and the look this gives a lot. It's a very pretty subtle shade with nice sparkle. Gorgeous with my brown eyes.

I do wish it lasted a bit longer, which is why I only gave it 4 rather than 5.

I bought this eyeshadow about 2 years ago around christmas. I loved the color, but glittery mess definitely sums it up pretty well. As soon as i blinked like 2 seconds after i put it on, there was glitter flying all over my face, and sticking to my face and the glitter wouldn't come off until i took all my make up off at the end of the night. I think the eyeshadow itself, without the glitter, would've been better. I really wanted to like this eyeshadow, but honestly it's really not worth the money. It's such a shame because this is such a beautiful color, but all the glitter takes away from the great color of this eye shadow. & it kills me that everytime i open up my makeup drawer in my bathroom i have to see this eyeshadow just sitting there and it looks so pretty, but i know if i use it i'll be a mess lol. You can definitely find better eyeshadows that won't become a glittery mess all over your face.

As another review says..."glittery mess" sums it up! What a way to ruin a great color. Even with Primer Potion the glitter flakes off. There are a few other UD shadows that are glitter disasters as well. My bf was always like, "you have glitter on your face in weird spots!" Then he'd try to pick it off. Annoying! I just couldn't deal. I had to switch to another highlighter shadow. Been playing with other natural UD metallic shades. But, UD is still my fav in unique shadow colors. Just bummed about the glitter madness.

The trick to working with this is chapstick. Run a chapstick on a clean finger then dab finger onto eyelid. I usually do it just in the middle as a highlight. Then run another clean finger in Midnight Cowboy and dot onto the chapstick spot on your eyelid.

It ain't going nowhere now.

This is a really pretty color. I considered it a very light brown or champagne color, with lots of glitter. In fact, in has too much for my taste. Usually the only use I get for my Midnight Cowboy (it came in a palette) is an occasional highlighter or to blend out harsh lines. I will use up the color in my palette as much as a I can, but I won't repurchase the color since I don't have a use for it.

Too much glitter that does not stay put. Too much fall out.

Love the color BUT the glitter is AWFUL! And it gets all over everything. I usually do my eyes first and then my foundation but it would take too long to remove all the fallout before applying. Will not be reusing.

Let's be fair about this- this is not a daytime E/S, what with all the glitter in it. It's perfect as a base colour for night-out makeup. The fallout isn't ideal, but if you apply it wet there's not problem. I've seen complaints that it's excess effort holding a tissue under your eyes when applying it, but tbh I do that with all eyeshadows. It's a great eyeshadow for eveningwear, either as a base for other colours or on its own, and i'd definitely recommend it for that purpose.

So I bought this at ACW because it's in a lot of their palettes. I really do think it's a pretty color but when I used it for the first time I had chunky glitters all over my face! Thank god I didn't put on my foundation first because I had to remove it with eye remover. So I like the color but not the chunky glitter fall out. I won't use this eyeshadow ever again!

Ugh, horrible glittery mess. I thought it was an exaggeration about the fallout, but no, I looked like I was going for disco ball cheeks look. And the glitter chunks were a PITA to pick off. If you're not into the "hello sparkle" look, stay away! I swapped mine.

I love Urban Decay, but this eyeshadow has WAY too much glitter. It will end up all over you face. I don't know why but Urban Decay uses this color in a lot of their palettes...

I got this in a duo for $10, which is a great deal. But despite that I couldn't love this shadow. It's one of the first UD eye shadows I've tried & I knew it would be glittery.
I don't like this shadow, its like the color of my eyelid.. So it looks like I'm just wearing silver glitter... The fallout wasn't as bad as I expected, it was noticeable though. Didn't bother me too much. I brushed it off with a brush.
Wouldn't buy again.

The shade is a nice champagne colour for lids, however, I cannot overlook the large amount of chunky glitter that moves across my face throughout the day. If you like glitter it's perfect for you, not really suitable for the day due to the glitter. The fallout is very noticeable.

Overall, it's a lovely color with nice glitter but I just can't make myself love it so I returned it. The biggest problem and the only problem is the glitter. It never stays on my lids and irritates my eyes. Besides, this is not a unique color. I am sure there are other better choices out there for this price.

Nice shade, but the glitter is not practical unless your a stage performer.
