As someone who likes to take care of my skin but isn't overly obsessed with make up, I rarely change my staple beauty regime products; especially my make up brands, so thought I could do with trying something new.
Lately I've been watching beauty tutorials on YouTube to get ideas on different products so that when I do wear make up I can make it look even better. I saw a girl apply a foundation that blended into her skin so amazingly. I HAD to find out what it was.
That foundation was Urban Decay – Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Foundation.
I watched a couple more videos of people with different skin tones applying and reviewing the foundation and they were saying it was light, smooth and really did feel weightless on the skin, so I came to the conclusion that this could be the one. On Monday after work I took myself down to House Of Fraser to check it out, and see if these ladies were telling the truth.
They WERE! The Sales Adviser at the counter helped me to colour match, turns out I am a shade 11 (they go up to 12 and they have .5 numbers up to shade 7.5). When she applied it to my skin, it looked so good. She only applied the foundation to one half of my face and the difference, although not drastic, gave a nice even look to my skin and just made my skin look so nice and glowy - if that's even a word. Of course I had to get her to finish my whole face, and I got to feel what the blurring brush I was considering felt like (I think it really helps in achieving such a smooth finish). You know me, of course I got the brush. It would be rude of me not to.
In addition to the Naked Skin foundation and the Blurring brush, the sale adviser threw in a free 15ml bottle of the All Nigheter makeup setting spray (I overheard the previous customer asking about a freebie, so decided to cheekily chime in. If you don't ask you don't get right).
I've worn the foundation for 2 days in a row now and so far I'm loving it. It literally feels like I have nothing on, whilst making me look radiant, and it's pretty long lasting so I don't need to touch it up through the day. Its good that a little goes a long way and I can get away with using just one pump. The coverage I would say is medium but buildable so if you need more of a full coverage you can just use a bit more to achieve your desired level of coverage.
The brush is so soft and feels like silk on your skin. I was honestly tempted to sit there rubbing it across my face just for the fun of it. I'm not weird (not all the time anyway).
The next purchase for me will probably be the Original Naked eye shadow palette (it's my favorite out of the three). It's a bit pricey though, costing more than the foundation, but the colours are divine and will be mine.
Who knows, maybe Urban Decay will be my go-to make up brand from now on.
