I love this foundation! It's Vegan Friendly too :) I apply it with a beauty blender and only have to use a small amount of concealer afterwards for blemishes etc. It's liquidy but spreads really well and covers almost everything. I have to use about 4 pumps though so the only reason I haven't repurchased is because it doesn't last long, maybe a month. It makes your skin actually look like skin, not with any foundation on. Not full coverage but more of a medium coverage. I always set it with powder and then blusher contour etc but it lasts for about 6-7 hours before it starts looking glowy didn't seem to settle in fine lines either, even when you've had it on for 6-7 hours it didn't look bad or start wearing off! I Just wish it lasted longer.

I bought this foundation for travel purposes seeing one of the reviews of Jeffree star on YouTube he convinced me so much by approving this foundation stating the facts that it’s heat proof, sweat proof, water proof stays more than 12 hours. I did a mistake I only took this foundation with me to the hot country! I used it in UK once but because the weather was so cold at that time and I only wore it for 5 hours it didn’t show up any breakouts during that day! But hey what happened in the hot weather it did not even survive for 2 hours. I also made sure I’m using all the urban decay prouducs from primer to spray, powder concealer eveything to assure the longevity of the foundation but even after spending so much it didn’t stay at all I was so annoyedy friends and family said look at you foundation it’s so bad! I hated it so much...sometimes the beauty gurus do mislead us to sell some stuff since than I have never believed in jeffreee star’s verdict!

I have tried and used many high end foundations, but as im getting into my late 30’s my skin is getting very awkward and looks awful with the heavier foundations but lighter foundations or ‘glowy’ foundations make my acne scars and pigmentation (Over used sunbeds!) so much More visable . I was literally at a loss as too what to try next and wouldnt normally gravitate to urban decay but felt i had nothing left to try! Oh my god im glad i did! I have combination skin,lots of fine lines, scarring and pigmentation.... this makes my skin look amazing! I moisturise with lancome hydra zen anti stress beauty essence, followed by mua makeup academy pro/base moisturising primer( tried lots of high end primers but this one is perfect) then i use a damp beauty blender and do 1 layer all over then another thin layer on just the places that need extra cover, a dab of laura mercier translucent setting powder on forehead and under eyes, a little mac setting spray and thats it... i never need to touch it up during the day and it doesnt seperate on my nose, and it doesnt look heavy. This is the first foundation i have found that is lightweight and covers everything but in a natural way, i wore estee lauder double wear for years and even that used to seperate on my nose and as im getting older it looked so heavy ! I hope they never discontinue this foundation!

Coverage and feel of the foundation?
I feel like this foundation is about a medium coverage but can be built up for a high medium coverage. However the finish is still quite natural looking and doesn't blank out your skin completely. The foundation definitely feels ultra light weight on the skin and some people even mention that it feels like a BB cream.
Appearance and finish?
The main aspect as to why I really like this base is because of how it's like a natural-matte finish on the skin. Urban decay describe it as a real-skin like matte finish which is a perfect description. There's a soft focus finish to the foundation because upon application, the skin looks blurred and so looks like it minimises the appearance of pores! I also like the way this base looks as it wears throughout the day. Once it really settles into the skin, the foundation looks beautiful and as though you just have really healthy perfected skin. This could be a true everyday foundation because it doesn't look too made up.
Longevity?The foundation easily lasts on my skin for 12hours+. Although I do slightly set with powder, this foundation on my skin doesn't really require it. It sets down nicely without being tacky and so all other products do apply well over it. When I wear this on a typical work day- which is usually about 10hours+, it still looks amazing when I am ready to remove it and I could easily get so much more wear out of it. I do feel like this base is super long wearing and as a bonus it claims to be waterproof!- perfect for those hot sunny days!:)
Who do I recommend this product? I personally feel that this foundation will be suitable for all skin types. It has properties that cater to all skin types and so depending on your skin type, you should just prep accordingly.Because the foundation is a natural matte, I do think this foundation will work for many people and I highly recommend.
I give this foundation a 10/10 and it has most definitely become one of my go-to foundations!

Great coverage, super buildable, looks natural depending on how much you apply. Works well with most primers and lasts all day. Also doesn’t settle into fine lines. Defo buying again!

I'm using this when I need my makeup to stay out for a long time. Used with a primer and setting worst it does s good job. Still get a bit of patchiness on my nose and chin but I do have more oily skin there. The first few times I tried this I hated it as it was patchy and highlighted my pores but using with the ELF putty primer seems to have sorted this out. I don't find it has full coverage , is buildable to a point but not magic. It pulls up my concealer of I go over an area too much, that might be a sponge issue but is frustrating. Overall a good foundation and id probably buy it again.

This stuff is fabulous, I’m so impressed. Urban decay foundations have never drawn me in before but after seeing reviews of this it sounded like exactly what I wanted in a foundation and it didn’t disappoint! I am the most oily creature I think you can find and this stayed put all day, became dewy but didn’t break down and looked fresh the whole time. It does dry down quite quickly but even so builds well and has a lovely finish with a beauty sponge. It’s a decent med-high coverage with a natural satin matte finish. It didn’t oxidise through the day. I did lightly set with my RCMA setting powder and finished with setting spray. A really beautiful foundation!

I honestly believe that this foundation isn`t getting the hype it deserves. It`s FULL coverage and it`s super lightweight. It also doesn`t tend to crease throughout the day which is perfect for me because there are days where my makeup needs to last for 12hours+. It also gives you a really nice skinlike finish and claims to be waterproof and transfer-resistant. Not to mention, I also really like the packaging. So if you have the money to splash out on a good foundation I really recommend this.
