Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipsticks
Today I’m excited to show you the new Urban Decay Matte Lipsticks and new lip pencils. Urban Decay released 11 matte lipstick shades and I have 9 here today. Carnal (warm nude) and Backtalk (mauve nude pink) are exclusive to Urban Decay’s website and not shown today. I swatched the lip pencils on their own, and the lipsticks on their own. I used a lip brush with the lipsticks. I would recommend using a lip pencil to line the edges of your lips (if you don’t want to do your entire lip), and then use the lipstick. This will keep your lipstick from feathering or bleeding, allow you to get a clean line, and help your lipstick to last longer.

I’ve got the lip pencils for you first.
And here are the lipsticks.
You can check out the full product listing for what I’m wearing in my Naked Smoky Kindness look featuring the UD Naked Smoky palette.
I did do some comparison swatches for you.
4 of the 5 pencils felt like the normal 24/7 lip pencil formula. Blackmail felt more dry than the other shades. See other the 24/7 Lip Pencils here.
I didn’t feel like these were fully matte, as some seemed to have a satin finish or a slightly creamy finish. The matte lipstick formula feels similar (but not identical) to the original Revolution lipstick formula (see other Revolution lipsticks here), however they feel a bit more… maybe heavier? on the lips. I think it’s because they seem to be even more pigmented. Most of the colors were easy to work with, though Blackmail was really tricky, even with a lip brush. It definitely needs a lip pencil for me to be able to apply it better. After Dark was just a tiny bit less easy to apply than the other shades. The other shades applied easily, though like I mention above, I think all lipsticks benefit from a lip pencil being used to line the edge of the lips.
While I was sad that Bittersweet wasn’t a true purple, I really do love the pinky purple color and it’s one I really like to wear. It’s definitely an easy to wear purple shade for people who are afraid of purples.
I do think Bad Blood is a beautiful rich red. Tilt and Temper are two nice oranges, though I find myself wishing that Tilt was much lighter and yellow toned. I feel like the differences between Tilt and Temper are subtle. I really like Stark Naked and I find it to be flattering on my skintone. 1993 is a brown lipstick and reminds me of high school. It’s not a color I like to wear but I can see it having appeal. I love the depth of Blackmail, it really feels like a Fall shade. Menace is such a gorgeous bright fuchsia. I love how it lights up my face. I was surprised to like After Dark. I need to try it with a purple lip pencil.
Bittersweet, Menace, After Dark, Stark Naked and Blackmail are my favorites.
After applying all 5 of the lip pencils, then the 9 lipsticks, then 2 combinations of lip pencil + lipsticks and moisturizing with coconut oil in between, my lips were still in good shape. There was no flaking, bleeding, or pain, which is practically unheard of when I swatch mattes. Some of the colors do stain, which I think is beneficial.
You can, of course, make any of these shades more matte by blotting or using a setting powder on them.

What do you think of these new lip products from Urban Decay? Let me know below!
I am in love with these lipsticks! Happy Lipstick Day!
Now has UD determined whether or not these will be permanent additions to the Revolution line??
Urban Decay has the prettiest lip colors! I hope to try them one day!
Not that this will surprise you but my favorite is….Bad blood.
It is a perfect red 🙂
1993 and After Dark will be mine! Great swatches!!!
I think After Dark will be perfection on you1
OMG! That Bad Blood look with lashes! You look AMAZING! You rocked it.
Thank you! I tried curving my cupid’s bow a bit, even though mine is naturally pointy.
You know it’s amazing how just changing your lip color can change your entire look. I think you look great in every single one. I’m curious to know how in the world you managed to remove the old and apply the new without messing up your makeup or having the lip color swiped all over you face. You look flawless as always.
Since I’m wearing liquid foundation, after I remove a lip color, I go back over the skin by my lips with foundation on my beauty blender, then go for the next lip shade. Doing that as many times as I did does cause my sensitive skin to break out, but I only ended up with 2 zits this time.
All of these look really nice; I kind of want them all. I really love Blackmail, even if it is finicky. I like Bittersweet, but I though it would be more purple. Bad Blood and Temper are gorgeous.
Blackmail will probably be fine for most people, I just definitely need a pencil with it because it’s so dark and I’m so pale and without a pencil, as you can probably tell, it takes more time to apply. Bad Blood is definitely gorgeous. Bittersweet is practically swipe and go 🙂
It will probably be the same for me. My lips are naturally almost colorless.
I love so many of them! I agree though, why the heck doesn’t UD have a true purple?! I’ll definitely be picking up Bittersweet though. Liking After Dark and Stark Naked too.
I keep hoping they’ll release one! I would love it in this formula.
Love Blackmail – such a gorgeous colour. And the reds really suited you too.
Thank you! I was really happy with how Bad Blood looked!
I honestly want SO many, but Tilt is especially calling my name!
Tilt is lovely! I still wish it was slightly lighter / more yellow toned, but it was a dream to apply.
Bittersweet looks amazing on you, its super flattering with your eye color!
Thank you! That is one of my favorites, so easy to apply.
Love the colour Blackmail!
It’s such an awesome vampy shade.
great comparison swatches. Too bad about Blackmail / After Dark. I don’t have the patience to sit and work with a lip product 🙁
As long as you use a lip liner, you’re good to go. I just couldn’t imagine swiping them on without a lip liner.
I want them all!! SO many pretty ones!!
I would love to see After Dark and Menace on you 🙂
Fabulous video and review! Looks like I NEED Menace, Bittersweet, Bad Blood, Tilt, Temper, and 1993. Matching lip pencils? OF COURSE!! LOL. Already have F-Bomb, 69, Bang, from the original Revolution lipsticks but what does that mean? Ulta just had 5x points, good idea to save them for the Smoky Palette and a couple of these lipsticks . . .
And the lashes are amazing BTW!
They’re Katy Perry Eyelure false lashes. The original Revolution lipstick formula is awesome. Yes, I think these will launch when Naked Smoky launches!
Your lashes are crazy long! What did you use?
And you are especially stunning with your hair this way-holy cheekbones!
Those are Katy Perry false lashes 🙂 I used OCC John Doe to slightly contour the hollows of my cheeks.
Bittersweet! I also like 1993, Bad Blood and Blackmail!
Bittersweet is definitely gorgeous 🙂
I think I want to try 1993 and Bad Blood…when did you say they were coming out?
I didn’t receive an exact date so I’m presuming July 8th.
