Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani 714 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a “classic red.” It’s a medium red with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The 714 lipstick pulled warm to my eye, and when I swatched them side-by-side, it definitely has an orange-tint and is lighter, while the lip pencil looks almost muted and berry-ish in comparison. Together, they layer and create a very true, retro red. The texture of the pencil was much less waxy compared to the formula I’m used to, and it is less comfortable to apply and wear. It lasted for six hours or longer (it was still going strong after six hours), but it was drying on its own. Urban Decay 69 (P, $20.00) is warmer (95% similar). MAC Ruby Woo (P, $17.50) is lighter, brighter (95% similar). MAC Freehand (LE, $15.00) is more muted (90% similar). Pat McGrath Blood Lust (PiP, $25.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Cherry (P, $17.50) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Follow Your Heart (LE, $17.50) is cooler (90% similar). MAC Trust in Red (P, $19.50) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). MAC RiRi Woo (LE, $19.50) is darker, brighter (95% similar). ColourPop Fighter (DC, $5.00) is lighter (90% similar). ColourPop Come, We Fly (LE, $5.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Devil Inside (Lip Shaper) (PiP, ) is more shimmery, lighter (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Rock Steady 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a “blood red.” It’s a slightly muted, medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, but it had similar issues with texture that made it harder to apply evenly. It had a tendency to drag and skip, so short, feathery strokes are a must, and it’s not my ideal formula for filling in lips entirely but would be tolerable to outline with. The color wore well for at least six hours but was very drying. Urban Decay Bad Blood (P, $20.00) is warmer (95% similar). MAC Freehand (LE, $15.00) is cooler (90% similar). Urban Decay Mrs. Mia Wallace (LE, $20.00) is lighter (90% similar). ColourPop Come, We Fly (LE, $5.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Devil Inside (Lip Shaper) (PiP, ) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (80% similar). MAC Kiss Me Quick (P, $19.50) is more muted (90% similar).

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Wonderland 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a “dark pink-red.” It’s a medium-dark, fuchsia-red with strong, blue-toned pink undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff that went on slightly unevenly as the texture was thinner and less creamy, so it drags a little and is harder to apply. It was incredibly drying and clingy on, which was disappointing as the 24/7 formula is my absolute favorite for lip pencils as it is one of the more comfortable ones to apply and wear (like one of the few that I typically find lightly drying or non-drying!). It was still mostly intact after six hours of wear. MAC Follow Your Heart (LE, $17.50) is warmer (95% similar). Bite Beauty #078 (P, $18.00) is warmer (95% similar). ColourPop Hot Cakes (LE, $5.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). MAC Trust in Red (P, $19.50) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Selenaville (LE, $17.50) is lighter (85% similar). Urban Decay 69 (P, $20.00) is lighter (85% similar). ColourPop Spinster Ladies (LE, $5.00) is more muted (85% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Secret Escort (Lip Shaper) (PiP, ) is more shimmery, lighter (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

* It’s going to take me under later in the week to get to the other three lip pencils. These caused some lingering damage to my lips due to how drying they were, and frankly, that’s not something I associate with Urban Decay’s 24/7 Lip Pencil formula. These lacked the glide that I’ve always loved Urban Decay’s lip pencils for. According to Urban Decay, the formula is designed to have long-wear, prevent feathering, be creamy, waterproof, go on smoothly, and “nourish the skin” — just for reference.
