Is Urban Decay, Heavy Metal, Glitter Eyeliner in Air Guitar Worth the $18.00 Asking Price?

Nearly a decade ago I discovered my own personal trend, I called it my own trend because I was the only one ever sporting a thin line of glitter eyeliner on top of my black eyeliner for a bold, out there look.

As time passed though I was no longer able to find glitter eyeliner being sold anywhere. This past holiday season though brought back a blast from my past. Although it is not the cheap Claire's version, I figured Urban Decay would get it right, and bring back an old look that I still would wear. When I stumbled upon a collection of their glitter eyeliner called Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner, I went ahead and purchased the one color that resembled the color I had 10 years ago. Air Guitar!
 
Air Guitar is a light sea blue in color, and from past history with the blue eyeliner glitter, is that when placed on top of black eyeliner it would look even lighter, yet still give off a gorgeous blue glow, without overpowering the entire eyelid.

The eyeliner brush works flawlessly, and glitter sticks to it without an issue allowing you to just swipe it over your lids for a neat precise line of glitter.

Air Guitar left behind a nice blue tint, but not what I was hoping, the tint was more silver than blue. At any rate though, silver tint, or blue tint, the results were beautiful. On top of black eyeliner is the way to go, if you really want the results to show best. You can add it to nude eyelids, but it ends up looking more sloppy than put together.

When applying Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner it is best to leave your eyes closed for a few moments after applying it, that way none of the glitter bleeds and sticks to your upper lid crease. You will be able to feel the eyeliner on your eyes as it goes on wet. When the wet feeling is gone, you can go ahead and open your eyes.

The Last:
 
One thing that worried me about this glitter eyeliner was ow it would hold, and how it would last. In the past using cheap glitter eyeliners would sometimes result in a mess, such as glitter drying up and flaking on to my face, or upper lid.

When it comes to Urban Decay, what you see is what you get. The glitter will not budge, so you do not have to worry about glitter flaking off all over your face. Where you apply it, is where it will stay until you remove it with whatever form of makeup removal you use.

Overall:
 
The thing about this glitter eyeliner is that it worked just as well as the tube sets I used to buy 10 years ago for only $3.00. Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner comes to $18.00 on nearly every website it is available. I scooped it up for a little less on Amazon, but still it was expensive.

The thing is, these glitter eyeliners are definitely not worth the $18.00 price tag. Granted the eyeliner works really well, you can scoop up lower priced glitter eyeliner for far less. If you really think you need this, then by all means go ahead and splurge as they work well. Personally I would like to see these going for $5.00 each as that seems more reasonable.
