Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lip Pencils and Lipsticks
I wanted to share swatches of me wearing the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani lip pencils and lipsticks. Check out the rest of the Gwen Stefani Makeup Collection. UD sent me this collection.
I really like the formula for Ex-Girlfriend. I think it looks better with Native pencil on me than with its own pencil.
Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lip Pencils and Lipsticks
This one doesn’t look good bad on its own on me.
Together this verges into orange-brown territory and I don’t think it’s flattering on me.
I love this color and the formula is really moisturizing.
Firebird is my favorite out of all of these, though Ex-Girlfriend is a close second, followed by 714.
This one is really pretty too.
I’m not a fan of this one on me personally, but the formula is really moisturizing.
This is the mega matte formula. It DRAGS across your lips when you apply it. However, once it’s on, it stays in place. I LOVE this color. This makes me feel like Snow White. It’s a fantastic matte red if you don’t mind that it’s very stiff for application.
By this point, my lips were screaming at me, even with the coconut oil used for removal and moisturizing in between. I also ended up irritating the skin by my lips and a zit popped up.
So there you have all the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani lip pencils swatched on my lips.
The rest of my makeup is
- Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15
- Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation in .5 with a drop of Paula’s Choice Hyaluronic Acid Booster
- Hush Blush from the Gwen Stefani palette
- Dose of Colors Pearl Dust highlighter
- Glossier Boy Brow in Brown

Which shades do you like best?
To me they all look great on you! Thank you for withstanding of the pain from your lips for us, I appreciate that! 🙂
UWAHHH. *WANTS ALLOFTHEM* I love the way Phone Call lip pencil + Phone Call Lipstick looks! SO PRETTY! That is my favorite combo! ITA – Ex-Girlfriend looks great with Native! I don’t like it with the Ex-Girlfriend lip pencil tbh. LOVE IT with Native though! GUH…I’ve been trying to narrow it down but it’s so hard bc I love reds and fun pinks! XD,,,,,,,,
I don’t need all the reds, but I think 714 is a must-have in the collection. I also want Ex-Girlfriend so I hope it works on my skintone (I don’t want concealer lips.) I don’t think the combo looks bad on you and the brown-nude color is very on trend right now. It might look more cool toned over the Naked lip pencil. I also like how it looks over the Native pencil.
I feel like I have all these colors in other, less expensive, brands. And they work just as well. It’s generally my feeling about this whole collection.
How necessary do you think the pencils are? I’m going to wait until Ulta has them in stock since I bought the Vice Reloaded when they had 5x the points on UD and I have about $9 off my next purchase. So hopefully before then I will have Ex-Girlfriend and will be able to decide if the nude pencils I have now will be suitable for it (I managed to order a few lipsticks on UD during the oopsie on Thursday). However, I am debating grabbing another pencil or two, plus Firebird lipstick. Do you think they perform just as well without them?
I don’t care for Ex-Girlfriend, though I think it’s better over the pencils. I’m not too crazy about any of the pencils, TBH. Firebird lipstick is still my favorite, and I think it’s stunning on you. I really like Wonderland, too. I’m a sucker for those pink-almost-red shades.
I really thought I’d like Wonderland the best but, 714 looks great. I usually go for blue reds rather than orange reds. 714 will be the exception to my rule. Thanks for taking one for the team…trying on all those lipsticks and liners must still be painful the day after.
714 is definitely amazing. I LOVE the formula. And my lips are doing better now, thanks to my Bite Beauty Agave lip mask.
I love your blog so much and have done for years, never thought to say so until today! Thank you for the swatches, Firebird looks fantastic on you. 🙂
Thank you so much Rachel! So glad you like them.
