Urban Decay Naked Skin Liquid Foundation - Review

Recently my local Debenhams store got an Urban Decay stand, the first one in my city. I visited on opening day, promising myself to buy nothing, and ended up leaving with £59 of goodies! Rather surprisingly to myself, I ended up buying this foundation.

Usually when I visit a beauty counter I know what I want and so don't get the staff to try the products on my face. However I haven't visited an Urban Decay counter before and so decided to have my makeup done and my colours matched. I was matched at shade 2.0, a rather light shade with cool undertones. I was surprised at how light the product looked on my skin but she was totally right as it's a great match and looks very natural.

This foundation is £27 and so it's no surprise that the packaging is good quality. This is a liquid foundation and the bottle has a ball bearing inside. The bottle has a pump which is definitely handy and I much prefer this to the open bottle style of Estée Lauder Double Wear.

After purchasing this I began to feel a bit guilty and worried that I had been talked into it by the sales person rather than actually wanting to buy this. Usually I buy high coverage foundations and, as the name suggests, this isn't claiming to be high coverage at all. The foundation is a thin consistency and I find it fairly runny when applying. I try to dispense small amounts onto my fingertips then dab it straight onto my skin to stop it from getting messy. I find that I need a fair amount of this, probably between 2 and 3 full pumps to cover my whole face. To blend this I have used both my Real Techniques Buffing Brush and my Real Techniques Complexion Sponge and both leave a lovely finish.
Although not a high coverage foundation, I find that I only need a touch of concealer with this and I'm good to go. The product looks lovely on the skin and feels light. I'm really impressed with how long this lasts. Thefoundation doesn't go patchy or cakey and is still intact when I wash my face some 14 hours later.
I am really impressed with this product and so glad that I bought it! I woild much rather spend the money on this rather than Double Wear and will likely repurchase this in the future.
