714
Urban Decay 714 Vice Liquid Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark red with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one layer, but a second layer was totally doable for full coverage. It applied evenly and smoothly over the lips and sat well without emphasizing my lip lines or sinking into them. The consistency was thin and a little watery, but the application was much better than many other shades in the range for me. It lasted for six hours before fading on me, and the formula was non-drying.
The Vice Liquid Lipstick formula is supposed to be “intensely pigmented” with “complete coverage in one coat” and “nondrying wear” that is “comfortable” and “waterproof.” The majority of the Metallized shades are not even close to one-coat coverage–maybe three or four or coats!–and did not layer evenly, plus they had a tendency to lose sparkle/glitter through wear. Whenever a shade wasn’t opaque in one coat, it often looked streaky or uneven. There were some shades that had fantastic, one-coat coverage, while others featured more medium, buildable coverage but several applied uneven, patchy, and didn’t level or improve after drying down even with a second layer.
The consistency of the formula was smooth, lightweight, and comfortable to apply, but the dry down was lengthy and some shades never fully felt dry (instead, lightly tacky). There was a learning curve to applying and wearing these, too, as they were unforgiving if you accidentally press your lips together before the formula has dried down–the formula is quite tacky as it dries down and pressed lips together results in color lifting away. The wear varied from shade to shade (and between finishes) from four to eight hours, and so far, most were true to the nondrying claim, at least. I didn’t notice any scent or taste with them. They were difficult to remove compared to most products; I had the best luck saturating a cotton pad with eye or lip makeup remover (Neutrogena, Lancome, Shiseido, etc.), yet curiously were not that long-wearing on me (relative to liquid lipsticks)–they seemed to develop a little tackiness with any meal or drink (even just water) and degraded from there. Overall, the formula was extremely disappointing after the successful Vice lipstick launch last year.

Trap Queen
Urban Decay Trap Queen Vice Liquid Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark red with subtle, pinkish undertones and warmer gold glitter. The consistency was glittery, so it wasn’t perfectly smooth, but it wasn’t rough or uncomfortable to wear or apply. It had a lot less glitter in it compared to other Metallized shades. It had mostly opaque pigmentation, and the color applied fairly evenly to lips, though I had a few areas where the color didn’t seem as opaque as others. This shade lasted for five hours with slight flaking but the fading was fairly even. The formula felt non-drying while worn.

Crimson
Urban Decay Crimson Vice Liquid Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark red with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a smooth, slightly thinner consistency that applied evenly but was harder to control along the edges as it had a tendency to pool a bit. This shade wore well for six and a half hours, left a stain behind, and was non-drying.

Lovely finish on all of these.
Glad to hear it!
I like Trap Queen – reminds me, I need to use my BITE Gold gloss more often as a topper
Perfecto!
I am so so loving these liquid lipsticks after using Tarte’s Tarteist – wouldn’t have thought I’d be a convert! UD’s range (at least for the regular lip colours) seem to do really well when swatched and applied!
That’s awesome!
Kinda sucks that these reds, shades that MOST beauty lovers have already are some of the best performing. 🙁
I like trap queen, but I don’t need ANOTHER red, as iv already found my two holy grail reds!
I know 🙁 The reds are dupable!
If Trap Queen didn’t remind me of their regular Vice lipstick in Cruel, I’d be all over this one! It’s truly a gorgeous shade.
Also loving 714. This version actually sounds better than its Vice Mega Matte version!
Finally, some winners!
This 714 is more comfortable overall!
714 is very pretty! I’m glad that it was one of the better performing colors in the range.
Yayyy! 🙂
You know, this is genuinely shocking to me. I have been waiting for you to bust out some A’s and A+’s for at least ONE of these. My jaw is dropped that my third eye saw this vision ALL WRONG. Remember me telling you how excited I was? “Oh my goodness, an Urban Decay release I may FINALLY be able to get behind! This might change my mind on the brand!” If you are this late to the liquid lipstick party, I have trouble finding an excuse for a formula that, at its best, is performing at a B+. I sincerely hope that you find even just ONE of these shades that surpasses that.
I tend to agree that if a brand is going to be late to a trend that they better do it justice… and these, while there are some cool colors, are leaving me sad 🙁
I’m glad Trap Queen got a better score but it’s not quite metallic as I was hoping for seeing the up close swatches on the lips. More like LA Splash matte with shimmer/glitter formulas.
They definitely aren’t quite as metallic as they could be!
Love the colors! Too bad the formula isn’t that great. I’m not feeling most brands liquid lipsticks. I appreciate the longevity but the dryness and difficulty with application is a drag. I into comfortable lip products that wear well.
What’s your favorite formula?
Ofra isn’t too hard on my lips and wears well. Milani is ok, similar to KVD formula
That eye look!!!!
🙂
Trap Queen….ugh the name is just so disgusting that I won’t even swatch it. I LOVE how these brands are making being GHETTO and “in da trap” cool only … but when us dark folks aren’t doing it.
Same with Druggie….who in the hell wants to buy a makeup product called Druggie.
sorry, I ranted but just annoyed. cute color on you though
Sometimes it’s the microagressions that just push us over the edge on a day-to-day basis, no worries 🙂
These certainly look better than some!
That is true!
Oh geez, the fact that they come off after drinking water isn’t good at all. I like the colors a lot, but I guess I’ll pass on these. Considering that these match the Vice stick shades, no need to fix what isn’t broken…
I’ve had a lot of trouble with these so far!
Did it take trap queen a long time to dry down? And was the formula sticky?
I just got mine in the mail today and I tried it on. It looks good, but it’s a little tacky when I press my lips together.
It wasn’t sticky on me, but there were shades in the line-up that were!
