We absolutely adore Urban Decay for their bold, dynamic eye looks and this amazing Glitter Eye Gel is no exception.

Bonus Beauty Tip: For a super intense eye, choose a shade that is complimentary to your eye color. For example: blue eyes - try golds, coppers, and peaches. Brown eyes- blues, and green. Green eyes - pinks and purples. You’ll be amazed at the difference!
