Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Review & Swatches of Shades

Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup Weightless Foundation
Price: $39 for 1 ounce
CRUELTY FREE!!!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Weightless Foundation is a new generation foundation, but at the same time a perfected classic. Definitely a unique product and a solid choice, Naked Skin Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup will surely suit the needs of many women.
Urban Decay claims Naked Skin Foundation delivers:
"Coverage without compromise. Our weightless formula blurs imperfections for a flawless finish that feels invisible, but looks professionally retouched.
Whoever said 'you can't have the best of both worlds' never tried Naked Skin. Not only does our new light-as-air foundation give you the buildable coverage you desire – it also looks and feels like you're wearing nothing. 
Naked Skin uses light-diffusing spheres to 'blur' imperfections for a luminous, demi-matte finish that feels invisible but looks professionally retouched. 
Naked Skin is oil-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, and loaded with nourishing ingredients: Our range of 18 meticulously calibrated shades use a numbering system to help you choose your perfect match."

This is one of the best explanations I have seen for a product in some time. (This isn't the full description), but its short, sweet, and direct without a boatload of ridiculously inflated claims. (The anti-oxidants listed are present, but they will need to have the bottle kept out of the light if you want them to retain any benefits.)

What it is, is a light weight liquid foundation which is dispensed from a very practical pump (you can easily "pump" out a fraction of a drop, so waste is minimized). Its formula is extremely blendable and meshes flawlessly with skin regardless of how it is applied.

Naked Skin wraps up with a "luminous matte" finish, which is a contradictory term, but semi accurate & applicable. While it is a matte finish, its not a matte finish like a product such as MAC Studio Fix Fluid would have. It's really more of a soft, demi-matte finish which makes it suitable for slightly dry-normal-slightly oily skin. 

Those with severely dry skin may find that the need an additional moisturizer under this, at least in winter, and those with severely oily skin may not find it mattifying enough, but everyone in between will probably fair well and this is an exceptional foundation for summer for combination skin too (although they may need a powder on their T zone.)

The shade range of 18 choices is absolutely spectacular. I'm a number person and I would much prefer to have a shade range laid out in a sensible numerical system than some combination of subjective descriptive terms, and Urban Decay makes finding your shade really easy!

For example, rate your skin tone intensity, on a scale from 1-12, 1 being alabaster, and 12 being ebony. I would say I'm about a 2 on that scale, and that's exactly my shade in Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Weightless Liquid Makeup.

If you suspect you are about a 7, but have pink undertones, then you would be a 7.5 shade match because all of the .5 shades have pink undertones and the whole numbers have more yellow undertones. How easy is that?

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation IS a weightless, breathable formula that meshes with skin beautifully and has a gorgeous, natural looking finish.

It is a superb alternative if you've tried other liquid-powder formulas that have alcohol or other irritating ingredients and Urban Decay's Performance is far better than the majority of other foundation options.

Urban Decay did a much better job with their shade range & "lightweight" formula than Bare Escentuals did with their Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation which was released earlier this year and overall, I would say for sure that Urban Decay has created a winner with their Naked Skin Ultra Definition Weightless Liquid Makeup. 

Its just a good, solid foundation for those seeking solid light-medium buildable coverage in a lightweight, breathable formula which is highly recommended.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation is an especially miraculous formula for those who are into the whole liquid-powder foundation fad & are fan's of formulas like Maybelline Dream Wonder, L'Oreal Magic Nude Foundation, Armani Maestro Fusion, YSL Fusion Ink, or Lancome Nude Miracle Foundation.
