Had high hopes...
On Ulta's website everyone seems to love this. My coworker said that this didn't work for her because it applied too greasy which I did not find this to be the case for me. It has a matte finish when I applied this but once it sets, it turns into a satin finish. I don't like the coverage on this. It has really light coverage and I didn't find this to be buildable. I can get this to provide a mediu...read morem coverage at the most with three layers on. I like how this feels really light. It has a really watery consistency so be sure to shake, shake, shake. The packaging is sturdy but I don't like how the color is not accurate to what's in the bottle. I had to switch the color after I got it in too light of a color which was the color 2. There was an Asian lady featured under the color so I assume that that was my shade since I'm also Asian. I do not know any Asian lady that is that white. That color is more suited towards a Caucasian woman. A lot of people find that they like the shade range on this. I highly disagree on this. Although on the website it looks like there's a lot of shades to choose from, there's really not. The colors are either too light, too dark, too pink, or too yellow. I hate that. This is not the foundation for neutral skin tones if you're wanting a perfect match (unless UD comes out with more shades). I wanted the color 3 point 5 (since TB won't let me post the exact shade name) but it was suited towards cool tones which I'm not. The next color up was 4 which is for more yellow to olive skin tone but I ended up buying this color since it was close enough. It's still a tad too dark but I can make it work. Now you can see why I struggle with finding the perfect match. This foundation does last pretty good throughout the day but it doesn't really do much for my skin and make me look flawless and natural. I just don't like how it sits on my skin for some reason. It's almost like having nothing on and why would I want that when I'm trying to achieve perfect skin with foundation....This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Lovely
This product allows for differing amounts of coverage and comes in an incredible array of colors. I really liked that it blended flawlessly into my skin and didn't feel heavy at all. I only with the accompanying brush was a little less pricey because you really do need the brush to get the perfect look.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Makes skin super soft.
A little over 2 months ago I finally made the plunge to purchase a high end foundation, which was the Urban Decay NAKED SKIN Foundation. I've been hesitant to purchase a high end foundation because of the price tag....this one was $39 plus tax (for a 1 fl oz bottle). You may be wondering why I wanted to purchase a high end foundation if so many drugstore foundations are good enough, well if you...read more remember my post last year on My LOVE HATE Relationship With Drugstore Foundation and how I never find a shade that actually matches, well this prompted my interest in high end foundations! This particular foundation has different shades geared towards different skin undertones so I believe anyone from different skin colors can find a perfect shade! I swatched some of the colors in Sephora and was able to find a perfect match instantly! The Urban Decay NAKED SKIN Foundation formula is a bit liquidy but it applies so effortlessly and literally glides on the face in a few simple dabs/strokes. The formula is a mixture between matte and dewy so in my opinion it really gives you this natural fresh look. The foundation dries fairly quickly and makes the skin feel super soft, I do feel that because it dries fairly quickly I did have to work the blending a bit faster than some other foundations that I've tried. Also, the foundation does last pretty much all day long while looking at good as it did when you first applied it. The foundation does have a very strong scent to it, it does fade once the foundation is applied and dried, but unfortunately some of the ingredients in the foundation and/or fragrance irritated my skin and caused a few breakouts so I ultimately made the decision to return the foundation after i realized it caused a reaction on me. I am disappointed because the foundation looked great on me (formula, application, color selection) but I'm not going to use a foundation that breaks me out. Do I recommend this foundation? Absolutely YES 100% but I recommend you visit your local Sephora and get a small sample (something I did not do) so you can test out the formula, the color, and ultimately if it agrees with your skin then it's worth the price tag. I do have sensitive skin so ultimately this did not work out for me, but everyone's skin is different and many people haven't had a reaction from it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Feels great on the skin
I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and I like it. I have dry skin and this makes my skin feel very soft and hydrated. The color match is great although you definitely have to be matched because you will likely end up being a different tone than you think. The color on the bottle is NOT the same as the one in the bottle so definitely try before you buy. The coverage is pretty light but what...read more I like about it is that it's buildable without getting cakey. I don't quite know if it's an HG for me but I would probably buy it again. Oh and try the UD good karma optical blurring brush with it. Sooo nice!!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 9 of 9 people said helpful

Pretty Good
I bought shade 1, which is a nice pale neutral. Not too pink and not too yellow. It actually matches quite well. I blend it in with my Sigma F82 and it goes on very well and builds up very well. I have normal to combo skin, but live in the high desert so the cold, dry conditions suck the moisture right out of my skin. But this wouldnt even last a whole work day, by 5pm its melted right off my chee...read moreks and forehead. This would be a great foundation if you have very dry skin. All in all, its ok but I will not be repurchasing.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Amazing Coverage
This is by far my favorite foundation for so many reasons. The big ones? It provides full, flawless coverage and feels lightweight on my skin. Using a foundation brush, my face always looks airbrushed once I've finished blending it. It's perfect for anyone who wants to look "naturally" flawless and feel like they're skin is still "naked".This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Good color choices for me
It is a light to medium coverage, which is all I need. I have trouble matching my skin tone in most foundations, they're either too yellow, orange, or pink, too dark or light and this ended up being a really good match for me (3.25). I might have preferred fuller coverage, but my skin isn't bad I'm just used to full coverage. It does last and stay the same all day, it doesn't oxidize, it makes my skin look even. It's not super heavy. I'm a fan!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great for normal skin and a natural look
I recently bought this foundation and used it over the quick fix prep spray and the optical illusion primer. I used a damp beauty blender to blend one pump of the foundation into my skin. It feels very weightless as advertised but I noticed it stuck to the dry spots between my eyebrows. It's not a full coverage foundation and doesn't feel heavy and I love the natural finish it gives my skin. I had...read more to use a little more of the prep spray with the foundation to get it to lay over my dry spot and not seem caked and patchy in that spot but it applied effortlessly everywhere else. I can see a few of my pimples through the foundation bit the redness of them don't show through and it could be fixed with a little more build with the foundation and a beauty blender. Overall I would recommend this foundation to someone looking for a natural feel and finish. Someone who doesn't have extremely dry areas. With the primer added the foundation did not sink into my pores and also didn't look to dewy or to matte. Very natural and medium coverage. I will definitely buy again.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Fave foundation
Quite possibly my favorite foundation yet. It lasts me all day, even with tiny little fingers grabbing at my face. It never looks cakey or patchy, even when my skin is going through a dry spell. I love the way it makes my face look flawless. No harsh smell and it just glides onto my face. One bottle lasts me quite awhile. It's a hefty price, but it's #wortheverypenny .oh one of the best parts.... crueltyfree !!I do wish there were more shades, I'm somewhat in between a 4 and half and a 5.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Hated it.
I was disappointed in this foundation after seeing all the good reviews. It is very light, I was only able to get a medium coverage with it before it started caking up. It also clung to dry patches. It's so strange because it's so thin and lightweight yet it cakes pretty bad. It has a matte finish. I also didn't care for the fragrance.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
