Brooklyn Woman’s Lipstick Stays Perfect Even After Bike Crash: “Not One Smudge”
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — A Brooklyn woman went viral after sharing that her lipstick stayed completely flawless — even after a bicycle crash that sent her to the hospital. Content creator Danny Goldyn, known online as Danny G., shared her story in a TikTok video that’s been viewed hundreds of thousands of times and even caught the attention of Urban Decay, the brand behind her “unbothered” lipstick.
Viral TikTok Shows Lipstick “Still Perfect” After Crash
Danny said she was on her way to a charity concert when the brakes on her vintage bike failed, throwing her onto the pavement. The 31-year-old social media strategist told PEOPLE that she was riding to an event to support artists who lost their work in a fire when the accident happened.
“I unfortunately didn’t have anyone to accompany me to the hospital,” she said, “so I pulled out my phone to check the damage to my face — and noticed that despite all odds, my makeup was still serving.”
In the viral TikTok clip, filmed from her hospital bed with a neck brace on, Danny holds up her lipstick tube and says, “So the brakes on my really cute new vintage bike popped off while I was on my way to my friend’s show, but my lipstick is literally perfect. It’s the Urban Decay Lip Bond. I swear by it. Like, not one smudge.”
Urban Decay Lip Bond in Shade ‘Raw Footage’ Takes Spotlight
Danny confirmed that she was wearing Urban Decay’s Lip Bond Liquid Lipstick in the shade Raw Footage, a deep merlot red. The product’s staying power immediately became the talk of social media.
Urban Decay’s official account even commented on her post: “Sending you so much love — lip bond really said unbothered 💋.”
Danny, who’s long been a fan of the brand, told PEOPLE that her loyalty to Urban Decay came from experience. “I go for products that I can rely on. I’ve always been a huge fan because I know my looks will last through all the chaos,” she said. “I have oily skin, and all us oily-skin girlies are picky. Once a product passes the test, we stick with it. UD 1, concrete 0.”

Community Reactions: Humor, Concern, and Brand Hopes
Despite the humor in her post, Danny said she was touched by how many viewers simply wanted to know if she was okay. “I appreciated the show of concern for me while also finding humor in it,” she said. “It’s a sign of intimacy and human connection — something we need more of these days.”
Fans flooded the comments with calls for Urban Decay to make her a brand ambassador. “That’s always been a dream,” she admitted. “So if anyone at Urban Decay is reading, I’d like to shoot my shot.”
Viral Moment Reconnects Old Friendships
The viral moment also led to an unexpected reconnection — Danny’s middle school best friend reached out after seeing her video. “We hadn’t spoken in years,” she said. “I’d always wanted to reconnect but never found the right time. I’m grateful this brought us back together. I hope to share more laughs and memories with all of my new friends.”
