Thanks to Urban Decay’s two newest 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencils, public nudity is back — nudity as in nude lips, the kind that go great with everything. They’re super low maintenance, which spells great for lazy beasts like moi.
But getting the right nude lip look can be tricky. It doesn’t take much to go from Angelina Jolie lip color to Night of the Living Dead.
This fall, Urban Decay is making nude lips a little easier to get with two new shades of lip liner.
Wallflower (a warm peachy pink) and Paranoid (a cool dark pink) join UD’s existing family of 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencils ($16 each).
If you’re new to them, you’re in for a treat. UD cooked up a moisturizing formula packed with hydrating ingredients like vitamin E, jojoba and cottonseed oils. They combine to create a soft, creamy lip pencil that applies like butter on bread.
All that, and they’re waterproof, too, lasting all day long without drying out my lips.
Both Paranoid and Wallflower pair perfectly with Urban Decay’s creamy pink lipstick in Naked ($22), another standout member of UD’s collection for fall.

No superheroes for me
El Hub and I had been planning to drive down to San Diego this weekend for Comic-Con. I was going to look for attendees in costumes and ask them about their makeup, but things heated up earlier this week with our house hunt. We think we may have found a condo, but the timing meant having to cancel our trip.
I’m a little bummed about missing Comic-Con, but if things work out, Tabs will be cavorting in new digs soon.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. MAC-aholics, brace yourself, but the wait is officially over for the Baby Bloom and Love That Look collections.
MAC moved up the release date (yea!), and both are now available in stores and online. I’ll share some pics and thoughts on the collections this weekend. 🙂
Marisol says
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:39 pmYou know, I’ve never been one to use a lip liner. I think I have a MAC one that I bought a while back and never really used it. Do you feel like it makes a difference for you when you use one?
I hope the condo works out for you! Would this be your first home purchase? How exciting!

July 24th, 2009 at 7:54 amHi Marisol,
I go through phases where I love to wear it. Then I ignore it for a few months, ha!
When I wear it beneath glosses I do notice a significant difference in wear time.
Yup, this is gonna be my first (crosses fingers). I’ve been kind of a nervous wreck lately… the whole process is kinda stressful and I’m ready to move on!
Anyhoo, happy Friday. Do you have any exciting plans this weekend?
Paris B says
July 23rd, 2009 at 11:21 pmI’ve never used a lip liner under lipstick before. I read it helps keep lipstick on but I guess I’m too lazy 🙂 Fingers crossed on the condo!

Karen says
July 24th, 2009 at 7:54 amHi Paris B.,
I’ve noticed most of the difference in terms of gloss wear. Maybe just keep one around for when you’re in the mood?
Sara says
July 23rd, 2009 at 11:28 pmI love these liners! they are fabulous! I prefer to use them over any others! I need to get the new ones though!

Tiera says
July 23rd, 2009 at 11:40 pmI don’t use lip liners very regularly, but if since they’re so creamy I’ll have to give them a chance.

These are great. Not only are they creamy but they last a really long time. 🙂
Tiffany says
July 24th, 2009 at 5:05 amI have wanted to try one of these liners for a while, but can never pick a color! Good luck with the condo – I hope it works out!
And thanks for the MAC heads up – they also have free shipping on all purchases through 7/27 with no code needed. I just ordered one of the sun tints and some empty palettes!
Karen says
July 24th, 2009 at 7:56 amHi Tiffany,
LOL, I have the same issue. When there are so many colors to choose from it can be overstimulating for me!
Do you have a more warm or cool skin tone?
Kajal Couture says
July 24th, 2009 at 7:34 amWhat is MAC doing to me? Sigh, I told myself no makeup for awhile but I really really want one of the sun tints because of the spf.
If you ever reschedule your SD trip, you should plan a little makeup addict get together…at least I would be there! =)

July 24th, 2009 at 7:38 amThese are so pretty. I use lip liners every day — and I’m always on the lookout for a good nude color. Love it!!
Karen says

Sweet! Which lip liners are your favorites? I love these UD ones and the MAC Cremesticks.
Michelle (LipstickRules) says
July 24th, 2009 at 7:38 amI always forget about lip liners and I have a huge stash of them.
These look lovely though!

Stephie says
July 24th, 2009 at 8:00 amOh these lip liners look hot! I will defintely be checking them out on my trip to the mall this weekend 😛 I quite like wallflower. They kinda seem like a nude liner but punched up in vibrancy plus that long wear. woot!
Karen says
July 24th, 2009 at 11:19 amHi Stephie,
There’s nothing like a good ole fashioned weekend mall trip. Are you going just to browse? Or do you have to buy something in particular?
lexi says
July 24th, 2009 at 8:09 amYou know how I love my nude liners and my new love for UD!
Wallflower – I’m coming to get ya!

July 24th, 2009 at 11:19 amHi Lexi,
🙂 It’s a good one! I hope you’ll get lots of use out of it.

July 24th, 2009 at 8:20 ami think i’d be down for the peachy pink. blue-toned nudes tend to make my lips look purple, like i’ve been standing out in the montreal winter for a looong time.
right now my favorite nude lipliner is bobbi brown pale pink. it’s not too cool and not too warm, and it looks great layered under a number of nude lip glosses/lipsticks.
i’m so glad i bought a second dior creme de gloss, the sweet praline (sold here as macaron pralinee) – looks great as a nude lippie, and it’s a MLBB

Karen says
July 24th, 2009 at 11:24 amHi Tiffany,
Yup, I’d opt for Paranoid. I have Naked — it’s similar to Paranoid, but with more plum.
Vampy Varnish says
July 24th, 2009 at 9:27 amTGIF Karen! I love a nude lip, I have so many nude lipsticks it’s crazy! So of course I like these liners a lot!
Too bad about Comic Con (it was here in SF a few months ago, I almost went) but that’s super exciting about the condo! I’m sure Tabs is totally excited about all the new spots to lay on the floor and strike poses for you 🙂

Hyzenthlay says
July 24th, 2009 at 9:48 amI think I need to find some good lip liners (I would like a more defined line than the few lipsticks I have give), so I will definitely check these out. Christine (from Temptalia) twittered about some clear lipliners that I’ll look into as well . . . these colors are just so pretty! 🙂
Karen says
July 24th, 2009 at 11:27 amHi Hyzenthlay,
I’ve used clear lipliners in the past and they’re okay… I like ’em but don’t love ’em. I prefer something that adds either a subtle color or blanks out the lips.
Anyway, as for good lip liners, UD’s are great and so are the MAC Cremesticks.
Patti says
July 24th, 2009 at 9:58 amHi Karen,
I don’t really use a lip liner cause of laziness I guess! How/Where on the lips do you put them on?
I do like the nude lip look though and I am thinking of trying the wallflower, I guess there’s no harm in keeping one just in case..
Thanks and hope you have a great weekend!!
Karen says
July 24th, 2009 at 11:29 amHi Patti,
I use ’em to either 1.) line the lips or 2.) line and fill in the lips. They add definition and staying power to lip gloss. I take the lip liner and gently run it along the edge of my lip. After lining I use a finger to soften the line. That’s it!
Kate & Zena says
July 24th, 2009 at 12:41 pmThese colors are pretty but I rarely (if ever) wear lipliner. I hate adding extra steps into my routine. I usually only wear lip liner when I’m doing a fierce red lip (Max Factor lip liner in Ms. Right and Jemma Kidd lipstick in Siren–FIERCE on my uber pale skin). I usually reserve my red lip for when I’m performing. Red lips are uber-high maintenance for me.
Good luck on the condo! I hope you get it!
cloudburst says
July 24th, 2009 at 1:08 pmDoes anyone remember Angelina Jolie’s earlier years where her lips looked grey most of the time? She used to wear a lipstick by MAC called Folio which as was a grey tinged nude – it always looked like she was dead…anyways, I digress.
I really liked Clinique’s sheer lipliners which they discontinued :(.
Daya says
July 24th, 2009 at 2:47 pmIs Naked not available in some stores? I looked for it today at Ulta..didn’t see it 🙁 Finally got Smoke and Diamonds today..yay!!
Have a good weekend!
Catherine says
July 24th, 2009 at 6:59 pmAww, sorry about Comic-Con. I totally missed the boat on it too and I’m IN San Diego!! Good luck on the condo though!
