Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eye Gel

I love adding glitter to my evening eye looks. You may be thinking that it’s not possible to wear glitter after the age of 15, but I beg to differ! If you add a small amount of glitter, and keep the rest of your face neutral, it doesn’t look tacky! I promise! I find loose glitter to be a huge mess, and it always ends up everywhere—all over my clothes and under my contacts! But when I found Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eye Gel, I was immediately addicted! They come in squeezable tubes, and are very easy to use. You can apply the gel to directly to your lid with your finger, but I’ve had better results using brushes. I use a small taklon concealer brush to pat the gel on my lid and an angled liner brush to line. Urban Decay also makes Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner, which is also easy to use. Both come in an array of gorgeous colors! I have gels in Rockstar (purple/silver), Bootleg (blue/silver), and Backstage (gunmetal/gold). See detailed instructions and pictures after the jump!
