❤Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation❤

Hi Lovelies!

I'm back again with two posts in a row :D I have had this post written up for a day or so and couldn't wait to share it with you any longer haha. I have been really loving the brand Urban Decay lately, so you might be seeing a few UD reviews soon, it has also been a lot of fun trying out more of their well known products. I have been especially loving their NAKED foundation*, which has fast become my new favourite everyday foundation. Previously, I had always stuck by my Chanel and YSL foundations which are still among my favourites, but I have found that the NAKED foundation really works for me. Normally, after coming back from a day out my make-up would be a bit bleh and all over the place! but since using the NAKED foundation my make-up has stayed pretty much perfect all day long and even into the night.

About the foundation ?

(Urban Decay) Feels like wearing nothing, yet Naked Skin transforms your complexion. Skin looks natural, illuminated and bright with a luminous demi-matte finish: like the beautiful skin you were born with. This remarkable foundation is oil-free, paraben free and formulated with light-diffusing spheres that literally make you look professionally retouched. How does it work? Naked Skin uses optical blurring technology to blur your imperfections, making it the ultimate in ultra definition. This revolutionary makeup loads skin with a list of nourishing ingredients including: Matrixyl 3000 (a powerful anti-wrinkle peptide), protective and brightening Litchiderm, antioxidant Green Tea and Sodium Hyaluronate for optimal skin hydration and nutrient absorption. Buildable coverage allows women to customize their look and makeup preference: from light to full coverage.

What I liked ?

I think the factor that wowed me most about this foundation was how my skin looked the same as it did in the night as it did when I first applied the foundation. The texture of the fluid is very light, which is great because a light coverage can be achieved, but this foundation can also be built all the way up to a full coverage. The foundations I have used previously have all been light wearing, but I feel that this foundation is a lot more versatile and doesn't leave me patchy like some of my other foundations do. The texture is more matte than I have previously been used too, but I actually think this works better for my combination skin.

I'm really impressed with how well this foundation airbrushes my skin with just one pump, but i'm even more impressed by its lasting power on my skin. I use one pump for my everyday look, which is what i'm wearing in the images below, but I would probably use two pumps on a night out. The packaging is also very nice and quite similar to the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation, but because its plastic its a lot lighter to travel with. Plus it has an amazing pump dispensing system which makes getting the product out an absolute dream.

The foundation comes in so many shades with the .5 shades being more suited to neutral cool toned complexions and the full numbers being suited to warmer complexions. I love a well thought out product and I feel like the Naked foundation is really universal and would suit a variety of skin types and needs.

What I didn't like ? 

I can genuinely say that there isn't much to dislike for me when it comes to this foundation, as it stays put and makes my skin look and feel flawless. However, I always think that its important to try and get a sample before hand, as each persons skin preferences can be completely different. Always do your research and check other reviews out online, as this can really help you understand the product more from a few people's point of view.

Overall ?

I think if you are like me and have skin that is combination/oily but you want a foundation that can achieve a light coverage all the way to a full coverage then this might be the foundation for you. Its very good at airbrushing/blurring imperfections, but keeping the complexion looking natural and fresh. It has some lovely ingredients, as well as having no parabens which is a huge bonus. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this foundation and I haven't had any issues with breakouts either :)

I also have the NAKED Beauty Balm on its way, so I will also be posting about that soon. I would love to know what you think about this foundation ? - Will you be trying it soon ?

Love
