Editor Review

Rated a 6

Long-lasting and semi-permanent, these quick-setting stains use moisturizing vitamins and fruit extracts to keep the claimed semi-matte finish from feeling dry. While the colored tints -- pink Envious and deep berry Greedy -- might be too bright for most skin tones, the appropriately named Nude has a subtle finish. The thin-tipped sponge wand keeps color even, but the inkwell bottle isn't as user-friendly as a traditional tube. The heavy vanilla scent is off-putting, too.

    Great as a cheek stain too!

    by CharlieCopper (33 reviews)
    Trusted Review
    One of the first lip stains I tried and I've come to really love using it under glosses. It does a good job at keeping color on the lips all day even as glosses wear off. I've got the brown/nude shade ("Jealous"). It needs a few coats to show color, but works well and looks great under gloss or lipstick. I'm r...eally glad that the girl who sold it to me mentioned that it was a great cheek stain too, because I love using it for this as well. It's really subtle and easy to blend.

    I just wish they had more color selection

    I love UD products, especially their shadow primers and eye shadows but I wasn't too enthralled with their lip stains. For one, there are only 3 colors to choose from and two of them happen to be pink based. The other "nude" color they had doesn't really show up on me. I purchased the color Envious as it seemed... at the time to be the best color option but unfortunately, it wasn't as flattering on me as I hoped it would be. It also didn't last long. Applying lip balm or lip gloss on top which is necessary for added moisture with any lip stain, made it disappear quicker. While the container it comes in is real cute (just like a lot of UD's products), the lip stain itself wasn't too impressive. I don't know how it wears on the cheeks as I've never tried it there. I'm giving it 2 stars because I really liked the container and the applicator. November 6, 2008, 12:21 am

    Not My Favorite

    by Retrodiva (144 reviews)
    Top 100 ReviewerTotal Beauty BloggerTrusted Review
    I am a huge fan of lip stains of all sorts, but this one really wasn't up my alley, even though as a general rule, I love Urban Decay. I found that I had to apply at least three to four layers to get the color that I wanted, and the stain didn't last as long as I would like. It certainly didn't last through a meal, and I ex...pect at least that out of my stains. Great color choices, but not effective as a stain. June 14, 2008, 8:54 pm

    Great for beautifully stained lips!

    by KFoxalicious (64 reviews)
    Top 500 ReviewerTrusted Review
    I really like this lip stain, all the colors are gorgeous. I did notice that sometimes my lips get really flakey after putting it on, so when I know I'm going to be wearing it I exfoliate my lips and put on some lip balm about an hour before. The color lasts all day (and night). February 28, 2008, 1:40 pm

    Good stuff

    by HMM1979 (7 reviews)
    If you like color that stays with you till you take it off you'll love this product. It has a light smell and taste when you first put it on (for those who accidentally sick thier toungue out at ppl before it drys..LOL). This is a product that I would recomend to just about everyone.

    good product

    by em1234 (2 reviews)
    Have this in Envious - putting on about 2 coats works well for me, any more and is too dark. Color lasts several hours especially when layer gloss over it. May 30, 2009, 7:02 am

    acceptable

    by avadore (2 reviews)
    i really love the color of greedy. This stuff permanently stains dry spots on the lips, leaving them with a weird mottled look in the morning April 14, 2009, 5:47 am

    Not the best.

    by bluedevilkitty (154 reviews)
    Top 100 Reviewer
    I own this product in 'Envious' which ends up looking super hot pink on my lips. Hard to get a subtle amount of color. Fun for occasional things but the color isn't really for everyday wear, at least not for . Decent staying power but not great. Odd vanilla smell and taste, although not terrible enough to keep me from weari...ng it. Probably will not buy it again, especially for the price. Will stick with posietint by Benefit.

    Not a fave

    by cmarley50 (8 reviews)
    I consider myself a lip stain afficienado. While I often love Urban Decay products, this was a disappointment. The packaging and smell are divine, but the functionality of the product leaves much to be desired. Maybe an hour after application, the product wears off in the center of the lips, but stays put around the rim ...of the lips. Looks tacky, and when trying to reapply later in the day, product does not work as it did on a freshly clean face. It seems to be repelled by any remnant gloss used after prior applications and does not sink into lips. But colors were pretty, and as I said, smell and packaging are great. However, that'll only get you so far when the product doesn't do what it is supposed to do. December 6, 2008, 9:39 am

    Greedy=sexy

    by soymilk_yum (13 reviews)
    I absolutely love this color! This stuff makes my lips so beautiful :D Tips: Apply chap stick before to soften your lips, then rub it off to give you a clean surface. Make sure to keep some chap stick with you for touch ups! October 6, 2008, 1:57 pm
