Urban Decay Uptight Vice Hydrating LipstickUrban Decay Uptight Vice Hydrating Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a dark peach with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and somewhat velvety, giving it excellent glide and making it dense enough to catch on imperfections. It was richly pigmented with full coverage generated in a single stroke.
There was a touch of product in my deeper lip lines, but not enough to be visible in person. It lasted nicely for four hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to be “super-pigmented,” “hydrating,” and “long-lasting.” There are three finishes: cream, matte, and shine, and the way they feel, apply, and wear does depend on the finish, so I’ve broken the overview down by finish.
The Matte finish is comparable to the original Comfort Matte finish in the Vice Lipstick formula. They have a creamy, smooth consistency with more of a satin finish than an authentic matte finish. They will wear down to a semi-matte to a matte finish as some shine gets worn down. They were typically opaque, fairly forgiving of imperfections on the lips, and wore between four and six hours. A couple of shades, usually on the lighter end of the color spectrum, were more prone to settling into my lip lines.
There were a few shades in the Matte finish that were true mattes and were more of a traditional matte, though still smooth and emollient enough to apply without tugging, they were thinner and a touch “clingy” in comparison (just not to the point of emphasizing lip texture or being uncomfortable to wear).
The Cream finish is comparable to the original Cream finish in the Vice Lipstick formula. The texture was smooth, like a gel cream, as it was dense and lightly tacky, so it glided better once it warmed up against my lips. What I’ve always enjoyed–and enjoy about the reformulation–is the texture helps keep the color in place, makes it appear smoother, and sits better on my lips while still giving lots of shine. These shades were semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and had a wear time of around four to five hours.
The Shine finish is most comparable to the original Sheer finish in the Vice Lipstick formula, but to me, these were less comparable than the other two. The Shine finish is a smooth, gel-like balm with many glides, no tackiness, and glossy. They are almost easy to over-apply as they are so soft and creamy (also why they come in the slim tube to prevent the lipstick from breaking at the base). These shades were more semi-opaque to primarily opaque with some transparency. They lasted around two to four hours.
Most of the shades were hydrating, though a few more exact matte shades were more non-drying. There was no discernible scent or taste.

A smidgen of product settled into my deeper lip lines, but it wasn’t visible in person and didn’t worsen over time. It had an opaque color payoff that applied evenly and stayed on well for four and a half hours, while the formula felt lightly hydrating over time.
