Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Review & Photos.

The ultimate in ultra definition, with a no makeup yet perfected look, this new Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation is becoming a fast favorite amongst just about everyone I know who has tried it. I am no exception. I am head over heels for this foundation and how it beautifies my skin.

Naked Skin Foundation is a liquid foundation that provides medium to full coverage. It's buildable, so you can easily adjust the coverage to meet your skins needs. The texture is super lightweight as it blends over skin. It feels like I am not wearing foundation at all, which is such a freeing feeling.

The finish is a demi-matte look in which light-diffusing spheres blur fine lines and wrinkles to make me look a bit retouched. The state-of-the-art formula is also infused with beneficial ingredients that nourish and boost the skin’s health from the inside out. Anti-wrinkle and lifting peptides restore and maintain skin’s youthful appearance by increasing elasticity, while antioxidants such as Green Tea and Vitamin E neutralize free-radicals and promote collagen production for smooth and supple skin.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation

I find that the best way to apply it is with the Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush. I pump one pump of the foundation onto the back of my hand, and dab the brush into it. I apply it to my skin with buffing, circular motions. Be careful not to streak it over the skin, you want to buff it into the skin for the ultimate look.

With a broad range of 18 easy to match shades, there is one for everyone. Don't let the color in the tube be your guide. When I received my samples which are shades 3.0 and 3.5, I thought they were too dark for me. In fact, they are too light for me right now. I'm sure one will be perfect for winter. Right now, my perfect match is 5.5, and I would have never guessed that from just looking at the containers. I suggest testing a few shades on the jawline. When you find one that blends into your face and neck, you have your match.

Fall 2012: Urban Decay.

This fall, Urban Decay is expanding their product line with some new additions to the ever so popular Naked line, a beautiful new palette, and some new primers. Take a look at what's new!

Smoked Palette - $49.00

This new Smoked Eyeshadow Palette flaunts 10 smoky shadows including gorgeous hues of green, blue and purple in addition to the classic greys and browns. Not only do you get the gorgeous palette, but there is a full-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion, a Deluxe Travel-Size Eyeshadow Primer Potion to make sure your shadow stays in place all day, and the essential 29-page, step-by-step, how-to ‘get the look’ book. A smoky eye is easy with everything here.

I am addicted to this palette and am making beautiful smokey eye looks with it almost every day.  I reviewed this one back in August, so be sure to go back and read up on my thoughts.

Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup - $38.00
The ultimate in ultra definition, with a no makeup yet perfected look, this buildable liquid foundation provides medium to full coverage with an amazing, weightless texture and customized finish.

I’ve been using the Naked Skin foundation and will bring you a complete review later today.

Urban Decay Naked Foundation

Optical Blurring Brush - $24.00
This brush was made specifically to use in applying the new Naked foundation. It helps brush the foundation on with ease, giving skin a blurred, airbrushed beautiful look. The brush creates the look of complexion perfection by diminishing fine lines, pores, and other areas makeup tends to settle in. Like the rest of the Good Karma Brush collection, the super-soft synthetic brush hair of the Optical Blurring Brush is made from recycled PET bottles, while its sleek gunmetal handle is fashioned from recycled aluminum.

If you want the Naked foundation, you need this brush too.  After applying the foundation with my fingers, traditional foundation brush and with my favorite makeup sponge, nothing compares to the look I get when using this Blurring Brush.

Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion - $31.00
Urban Decay presents a new Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion in a new stream-lined package. This one is perfect for oilier skin types, but works well on dry skin too. This primer preps the skin and perfects it as it minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines by creating an optical veil of scattered light. It evens out the skin tone and leaves skin with a perfect, airbrushed finish. This primer is now more light weight and slightly nude tinted, but still dries down to a sheer, soft-focus finish.

I apply the primer after my moisturizer and before foundation to perfect and prep my skin for makeup. Not only does this make my makeup look better,  it helps to make it last all day long. While I like this primer, I recommend it for anyone under 40. I love the new one below even more, as it was made for more mature skin.

Brightening and Tightening Complexion Primer Potion - $31.00
For those like me who lust after naturally younger looking and more radiant skin, Urban Decay presents Brightening and Tightening Complexion Primer Potion in a new stream-lined package. The state-of-the-art formula comes infused with Hyaluronic Acid Filling Spheres to boost collagen, hydrate and smooth, swelling and blowing out lines and imperfections. Peptides also work to lift and firm, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This primer is ideal for all skin types: dry, oily, sensitive, combination, skin lacking radiance, and mature skin in need of a youthful glow.

Like I said, I love this primer. I apply the primer after my moisturizer and before foundation to perfect and prep my skin for makeup. It plumps up my fine lines making them less noticeable. It provides a finish in which helps to make application of makeup easier, it makes it look overall better, while helping make it look beautiful all day.

I love the pigmented and shiny color I get when wearing this. It makes for the ultimate nude lip, making my lips look like themselves, with just a hint of a neutral pinky nude color, with lot’s of lasting shine. Every time I wear it, I am completely in awe that the beautiful look I get comes from a pencil.

In three new Naked shades, these lip glosses are super sexy and leave lips with a beautiful glossy pout. The luxe, mint-flavored, cooling formula laced with Maxi Lip™ (a key ingredient that moisturizes and plumps), actually plumps lips an average of 40% when used daily for a month.

  • Naked2 – sheer, light nude/beige

I wear nude lips 80% of the time, so I am adding these to my arsenal of nude shades. It’s easy to love them all, by just picking the intensity and tone of the nude lip I am after.
