That looks so great on your skin! Unfortunately it sounds like my dry skin wouldn't be too fond of it. How did you find the coverage?
ReplyDeleteThanks pixiemania. :-) The coverage is definitely a solid medium. I was told that you can build it up to full, but I wasn't able to do that. It goes on thin and smooth, and you can go over trouble spots with a little more, but the skin continues to show through. I'm really not sure that this formula would be ideal for a dry skin type. My oily skin seems to love it though.
ReplyDeleteI like the finish of this foundation on you, it looks really natural and almost like you're not wearing any foundation at all. Did you use a regular foundation brush to apply it?
ReplyDeleteThanks. :-) I actually used my fingers to apply it. I always use my fingers when I'm first trying out a foundation, because it gives me a literal 'feel' for the formula. It spread evenly under my fingers with no problem. They call the finish on this formula 'demi matte' -- but I think it's a full matte. You need almost no powder after applying this foundation.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's very natural looking here, is it that way in person? How is the color match/undertone? I don't pay much attention to Urban Decay, so I didn't even know that it existed. But if something out there works for oily, brown skin, then I'm interested.
ReplyDeleteIt wears that way in person as well. The undertone on #8 is nice and yellow. The rep tried to give me #7.5 but the undertone was too 'cool' so it was totally ashy on me. This color wears a lot better. Now, since the foundation won't be available until September (I just have a sample) I can't make a recommendation because of price vs. ease of use, ect. But so far I like the way it wears.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really natural, I like it on you. Cannot wait for it to come out
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-) The finish is definitely very natural. And the bottle is pretty big on this foundation (at least it was on the show display) so I think there will be plenty of product.
DeleteThe Rock and Republic eyeshadow in the color Emerge looks fabulous on you. You look so beautiful. It really is a perfect color for you.

Thank you Dlori. :-) I really wish Rock & Republic makeup was still around. It was a great collection.
DeleteHoly cow - we wear the same color in UD Naked Skin! Halelujah!!!! I don't think I've ever come across a beauty blogger with the same skin tone. Yay! Yay! Yay! So glad I found your blog and bookmarked it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for supporting the blog Jenny D! I'm glad you find it helpful. :-D
