Urban Decay is a brand I’ve really started to get into at the moment. I’ve found myself going from owning the naked palettes like the majority of beauty lovers to having a selection of lip glosses, foundation and eyeliners. It’s not only becoming an addiction but also really incredible terrible for my bank balance, but a girl has to try out options right?
*terrible blogger – I couldn’t help but test out the sponge before taking photos!!*
I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with my powders-either I love them and can’t be without them or I despise them and just find myself with a cakey complexion rivalling Jordan. With the new Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Powder Foundation* I’ve only had complete love. I’ve recently found it hard to do my make it and look presentable without this product.
This new powder is made to work perfectly with the Naked Skin Liquid Foundation which I adored but need to repurchase to really try the two of them together. This powder is formulated to last 8 hours and has a weightless, buildable coverage while being semi matte. I’ve found through tested it out with a number of different foundations that while it provides a more than semi matte finish the product really does have incredible longevity and covers all imperfections while still not creating a cakey appearance and staying very velvety and creamy to touch.
This beauty is not only a traditional powder, but can be worn wet. I have something similar to this in my coveted Chanel Vitalumiére Compact . Both of which have a very similar velvet texture, the Urban Decay more so with a better coverage. I rarely use the wet option as I find it hard to blend out when wet but having the option there is extremely handy when it comes to topping up your makeup in the evening after a day of work as the wet powder allows a lighter coverage over the powder, meaning you don’t come across extremely cakey and it works as a concealer as well.
With 14 colours available your bound to find one to suit your skin but make sure to check. I’m very tanned the majority of the time…. its Cocoa Brown ;)… and am one of the darkest shades in the Chanel option while with Urban Decay the Light Neutral* is the perfect shade with my foundation. It evens out my skin tone and imperfections and leaves a matte finish. Perfect for both night & day. The packaging itself not only has a mirror on the inside as well as a handy sponge, but also the exterior is mirrored, which is super handy for a quick makeup check!! The foundation also comes with an adorable purple floral pouch so your mirrored exterior stays perfect!
Available in House of Frasier and Debenhams for RRP €36* so make sure to pop out and pick one up. You wont regret it.

Isn't the packaging just perfect! Its so handy to have a mirrored exterior. I would definitely advise to try a powder foundation. They are the best for quick make up looks xx
