Luis Wears.. New Urban Decay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation (Shh Review)

Wearing nothing, ah.
 The secret is out that I wear... uhm, foundation. A guy wearing makeup? Kind of crazy, uh. Well let's just say that I've been wearing foundation for a while now, so if you haven't noticed - that's the point.

One thing that I've always had a problem with is foundations breaking me out. I have tried everything from some of the most expensive foundations, such as Chanel Mat Lumiere to middle range foundations like Makeup Forever HD Foundation. Has any of those worked for me? Yes, but all of them have broken me out.
My terrible skin without nothing.
I have extremely sensitive skin, so pretty much apply anything to my face usually breaks me out/hurts unless it's pretty natural and basic. Thankfully that has all changed, because Urban Decay's new flawless foundation - Naked Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup.

The Press Release States:

It feels like wearing nothing at all, yet Naked Skin transforms complexions. Skin looks natural, illuminated and bright: like the beautiful skin you were born with. Weightless and virtually invisible, this revolutionary, paraben-free formula creates a flawless, demi-matte finish; light-diffusing spheres make you look professionally retouched. It’s the ultimate in ultra definition. With a broad, universal range of 18 meticulously calibrated shades, Naked Skin is a buildable liquid foundation that provides medium to full coverage with an unrivaled, weightless texture. It feels different as soon as you touch it.

Naked Skin’s revolutionary, oil-free, fragrance-free, and paraben-free formula diffuses light, blurring fine lines and wrinkles. Ultra-forgiving, the weightless, never-before-seen texture allows you to apply more wherever you need extra complexion perfection. No matter how much or how little you build, your skin is left neither matte nor dewy, but with a totally natural, luminous finish.
I was matched with a 7.0 and it is totally on par with the color of my skin. 18 different shades meaning that there will be a whole lot of people that will be buying this foundation. I'm sold.

The first thing that I always look in a foundation is what exactly are the ingredients in it. I know that foundations are made out of tons of chemicals, but Urban Decay foundation actually has skincare ingredients, such as

Litchiderm (from lychee fruit) – this is supposed to protect skin from dehydration, oxidative, stress, accelerated aging, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion
Vitamin E – used to hydrated and increase the skin’s elasticity while fighting off free-radicals that cause skin to age prematurely
Japanese Green Tea – soothes and calms skin with anti-oxidants to neutralize free-radicals and promote collagen production for smooth and supple skin.
Matrixyl 3000 – anti-wrinkle and lifting peptides to restore and maintain the skin’s youthful appearance while increasing elasticity
I think what I love most about this foundation is that it's so lightweight that it feels like you have nothing on. With pumping it out from the pump it comes out almost like watery texture, yet it gives you around medium build able coverage.
 I applied the Naked foundation with Urban Decay's Good Karma, which is the brush that Urban Decay recommends with the foundation. It's perfect, because it's made out of recycled pet bottles and aluminum. Pretty much amazing for really buffing the foundation into the skin for that flawless, yet natural finish.
Left side has no foundation & the right side has the Urban Decay Naked Foundation.
The staying power on this foundation is phenomenal, because I have biked with this foundation and it has yet to melt off or transfer. I find it to be like a second skin for my face and am obsessed with it.
Urban Decay's Naked Foundation ALL OVER.
The foundation is incredible and I would recommend it for everyone to try it out. You can find this foundation at certain Macys, Sephora, Ulta, and on Urban Decay's website. I would definitely stop by one of these counters to get a color match. The foundation is priced at $38, which is super lovely knowing that you only need a little bit each time.

So go crazy and if you try it out - don't forget to email me or leave a comment on how you like it.

your skin looks so natural and amaze with your new foundation! i have super super sensitive skin too, i alternate between the giorgio armani luminous silk foundation and the estee lauder double wear foundation. i haven`t tried the urban decay one yet, but their tinted moisturizer is amazing for my "good" days! glad to see you finally found something that works!

XX, LC

If all this is making you break out then maybe you should stop using make-up since you're 19 and you shouldn't need it.

Still loving this? Any breakouts from it? I have that problem too

@LC - You must try their Naked Foundation if you love the tinted moisturizer. It feels LIGHTER than their tinted moisturizer. XO

@Anonymous #1 - I actually don't break out much anymore! It was just the products I used. :)

@Anonmyous #2 - I am. I have been using it for a week and I'm still obsessed. No breakouts whatsoever!

Hi Luis,

I just bought this foundation in 5.0 and I'm not sure if I got the right color. Since you're a 7.0, could you tell me what color you are in MAC? MAC's color system makes the most sense to me. I'm a NC35 usually.

Thanks for your help!

-Jackie
