Glitter makeup can be your best friend or your worst enemy. On one hand, hello, it's sparkly and makes anyone who wears it immediately 100 times cooler. But, on the other hand, once that dreaded makeup-removal time arrives, you start to question why you ever thought it was a good idea. So, when we heard that Urban Decay came out with a glitter adhesive that comes off with just a rinse of water (yes, you read that right), we had to test it out for ourselves.

Do the products live up to the hype? We had our assistant beauty editor Gabrielle be the judge. Watch above to see what she had to say.

00:00Don't I look scary?
00:08Today on Beauty Test Lab I'm trying out Urban Decay's new weightless makeup adhesive called
00:12Bondage.
00:13It's supposed to be really good with loose pigment glitter eyeshadow, so I'm going to
00:17try it out with this.
00:18What's cool about it is that it comes off with water, so you don't need any heavy-duty
00:23makeup remover to get it off.
00:24So I'm going to start by applying the makeup adhesive, and I'm just going to put it where
00:28I want the glitter to be.
00:30Now I have the adhesive on my whole eyelid, and now I'm going to put the glitter on.
00:38It's definitely sticking.
00:43I'm really into this, and I'm going to do the other eye.
00:48It's kind of making the glitter stick to my finger.
00:52It didn't get in my eyes, which is really nice.
00:54It is kind of like all over my face, just because it is such a loose pigment, and maybe
00:59I didn't apply it as neatly as I could have.
01:02So that would take some practice, but in general, I think this looks really cool.
01:06Now, I'm going to see if it actually comes off with just water.
01:12So, it's coming off, but I would not say it's coming off easily.
01:16I'm going to go to an actual sink, and I'm going to splash my face with water and see
01:20if that makes the removal process a little bit easier.
01:24I just used pretty much an entire package of makeup removing wipes.
01:28I was scrubbing my face for about 30 minutes.
01:31It's in my eyebrows.
01:32It got in my eyes.
01:33It's all over my shirt.
01:34Since it was so hard to get off, this would be really great if you needed a glittery eye
01:38makeup look for like a whole day or a whole night, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't
01:43have a lot of time to spend carefully taking it off afterwards.
