Hi
I promised to write a series of foundation and BB /cc cream reviews! And I am back as promised with another foundation review.I collect a few samples of high end foundations and BB/cc creams and also bought a few drugstore ones to test and find "the perfect one" ! One of the samples was urban decay naked skin foundation which I tried for about a week and then went ahead and bought the full size a few days ago! |
| Urban Decay Naked skin Foundation |
So lets begin:
This foundation comes in a 30ml/1 fl oz plastic packaging that actually feels like a light glass and has a pump,very sleek and chic packaging .It comes in 18 shades and my shade is 02.

| Urban Decay Naked skin Foundation |
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan
This is what product claims:
This formula helps skin achieve a natural, illuminated and bright finish. like the beautiful skin you were born with.Naked Skin is formulated with light-diffusing spheres, transforming you to look professionally retouched. Buildable coverage allows women to customize their look.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.
Here is my Thoughts:
It has a very runny liquid texture and as claimed it gives a semi matte finish.It gives light to medium coverage that can be built up easily to more coverage without caking.This is one of the things I like about it, since you can wear it everyday light as a daily foundation or layer it for more flawless finish.It gives a beautiful natural finish that really looks like a second skin.You don't feel you're wearing foundation at all.
About the anti aging benefits that it claims to have I can not comment since I have been wearing it for almost 10 days ,So even if it is true! I wouldn't know!
I apply it with a soft foundation brush like sigma f86 or f84 or real techniques expert face brush.
I applied it with or without primer(benefit porefessional) and without primer after 5 or six hrs It did shine through on my t zone but nothing major.
Staying power is good .I normally apply my makeup in the morning and it looks good through out the day with a couple of times blotting the T-zone .If you apply a powder over ,it looks even better and stays longer.
As you see considering that I purchased the full size after trying the sample for a few days,I guess it says that I absolutely love this foundation ! I recommend trying a sample of it next time that your are in the market for a new foundation.
The price is 45.00 CAD and you can purchase it on line or in store at Sephora.
I hope this review was helpful.
