So I had heart A LOT about this foundation through the twitter buzz and also on YouTube as well. Urban Decay recently came out with their Naked Skin foundation, inspired by the success of the Naked palettes. This foundation is a light weight, medium-coverage liquid foundation that you can build up for more coverage as needed. Unlike a lot of liquid foundations I've tried, the Urban Decay Naked Skin is created without oils, parabins and fragrances. This makeup was also created with green tea and vitamin E to help give the skin a youthful appearance. My skin is slightly sensitive; I say slightly because some stuff bothers it, and some doesn't. The only major breakout I've had out of the ordinary in my life was about a year ago when I had a HORRIBLE hormonal breakout (and a 20lb weight gain) from the Depovara shot. Since then I've been buying skin products based on the advice from a friend who's licensed in skin care.
All in all, this foundation is amazing! I still use a setting powder and an undereye concealer with this, however the way that it is formulated, it is non-essential. The idea behind this foundation is that your skin is "naked" and you are virtually wearing nothing.
The foundation retails for $38 and is sold at Sephora, Ulta, Macy's UD counters, and Sephora inside JCPenny. While the price is a little steep for 1 FL oz, I noticed 2 pumps with a damp brush was enough for my whole face.
My only complaint about this product is the packaging. While the tube/jar/bottle, whatever you want to call it, is aesthetically pleasing to look at, it would take up half a makeup back if you were to travel with it, unlike Makeup Forever Matte Velvet + (another one of my faves!) I've mentioned it before, Urban Decay is known for having "pretty" packaging, but as pretty as it is, pretty is not always functional and easy for travel. To only have a complaint about the packaging, I'd say that's pretty impressive! I'm not saying that you have to run out and buy this right away, but I'd totally check it out if you're looking for a light weight foundation as we approach the end of the months.
