Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lipstick Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lipstick1

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lipstick or UD Gwen Stefani Lipstick are a new lipstick that launched with the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Makeup Collection for Spring 2016. These launched on Friday but from my understanding they’ll be back in stock either today or tomorrow on Urban Decay’s site. All the shades should be available later this January at Sephora.com and Ulta.com although Phone Call is a shade that is exclusive to UD’s site and flagship store.

I really enjoyed the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette so I was excited about the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lipstick Collection. Gwen is legendary for rocking a bold lip look and she particularly favors red in many of her looks and this collection is dominated by the shade. Sure, there’s a gorgeous, sheerer nude lip color as well as a rocking fuchsia here but a majority of the collection is all about red.

This collection also introductions a new formulation that Urban Decay calls Mega Matte Lipstick which has a super intense, pigmented matte finish. Not all the shades sport this finish just one but it is an interesting new formula and texture that has really intense pigment although it does run on the dry side sadly.
