- Offers opaque coverage in a single layer, ensuring vibrant color with minimal effort.
- Lightweight texture initially feels thinner, transitioning to a slightly clingy feel, yet remains comfortable throughout wear.
- Exhibits moderate tackiness after setting, but this does not compromise color integrity.

In-Depth Look at the Lipstick Formula
$25.00/0.2 oz. – $125.00 Per Ounce
The formula promises “intense color and instant shine” in just one layer, while ensuring a “comfortable wear” and moisturizing effect. Urban Decay claims it will last for 16 hours, resist transfer, and withstand both water and food. It’s recommended to shake the tube prior to applying for optimal results.
I’m pleased to share that the formula indeed lives up to these impressive claims! The lipstick provided exceptional long-wear capabilities; lasting up to 16 hours was completely achievable, although it began to show some wear after two particularly greasy meals (so realistically about 12-14 hours, depending on what you eat). It was resistant to both food and water; there were no noticeable marks left on my glasses after sipping my morning lattes or water throughout the day. Even after dining, it had minimal transfer and remained largely intact on my lips, except for a bit of wear on the inner lip area after indulging in an oil-heavy pesto lunch.
The color coverage was rich and applied evenly, showing remarkable forgiveness without settling into my lip lines. Initially, the liquid lipstick felt light and thinner, but after about 30 seconds, it set into a slightly clingy, satin-like sheen. After approximately two hours, the clinginess lessened, making it very comfortable to wear throughout the day. I found it did not dry out my lips, even after multiple days of continuous use.
Interestingly, the formulation seemed unscented and had no noticeable taste, making it ideal for those sensitive to fragrances.
