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.

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.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup retails for $38.00 and is for sale right now at Sephora, ULTA, select Macy’s, and UrbanDecay.com.
