Got a sample...
It was supposed to give me a light coverage and it didn't do either. I can still see my large pores and imperfections after putting this on. This is not a BB cream despite the description. It's more of a translucent foundation. The product is super runny which makes it hard to apply. Gave my skin zero moisture. I still had to apply lotion after putting this on because of the flaky skin it created. The only good thing about this was that it absorbed really fast but that's about it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Unfortunately, I agree with the negative reviews on this product. I buy makeup like crazy from Ulta and I received 40% off with my discount from Urban Decay, and this wasn't even worth the discounted price. First of all, the fact that UD decided to do this in one " universal" shade is downright baffling. I'm an NC15, so very fair, and this made me amusingly orange. I read a few reviews from girls...read more that said they are NC/NW15 and this really worked for them, so I hoped it would work for me, but not even close. I doubt it worked for them either, my guess is they are going around cluelessly orange. I won't be keeping this to use on clients, as it is very drying, smells oddly chemically minty, which I doubt my brides would enjoy, and the "optical blurring" claims are a bunch of crap. My pores and fine lines weren't minimized at all, and I actually have good skin, I just need some evening out, which this didn't even accomplish in the slightest. As a primer, this neither extended the life of, nor improved the look of my makeup. As I said, this was quite drying on my normal to dry skin and felt heavily of silicones, which I don't necessarily mind, but there was no creaminess or balmy type of hydrating texture, just straight silicones, so it feels really velvety, just not moisturizing, if that makes sense. I talked to an Urban Decay rep on the phone when I called to check on my order, and she raved about how awesome this is and said very pale people could definitely use this, which got my hopes up a bit, but she was def wrong to say the least. I'm sick of American bb creams, they generally suck. Although, I do like a few, such as Bobbi Brown's. Korean bb's are my fav tho, they are amazing, especially skin 79's offerings. All in all, this might work for light/medium to medium toned oily skin as a tinted primer, as I could envision it being very mattifying on such skin types. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone looking for a good skin perfector, tinted moisturizer, and certainly not to anyone who wants a good bb cream. This isn't a balm or a cream whatsoever. Big fail for me, I will end up returning this or selling it to someone else who wants to try it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Matte/Primer Qualities and Gave me a Bronzed Look
Pros: provided matte coverage; matte look stayed all day; the one color gave me a bronzed look that was natural; anti-aging products. Cons: only comes in one shade; only in SPF 20 (most experts recommend to always wear SPF 30 as a minimum; had a strange/noticeable smell; very light coverage, still needed spot corrector. Overall: Urban Decay’s BB went on smoothly and felt like a primer. It made ...read moremy skin matte but did not provide quite as much coverage as some of the others I tried. Notably, this is the only BB that I thought had a distinct smell that I didn’t really like. The color of this BB definitely gave me a more bronzed look, so would be great for someone who is looking to add a bit more color to her complexion while still looking natural. I loved that this BB stayed matte throughout the day.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Better as Primer, not a stand alone B
This BB cream went on very velvety and dulled my pores in a similar fashion Benefits Porefessional would. Not as good, but it's the same, very basic idea. Minimalistic color with the pore diffusing technology used. It is NOT to intended to be used to even out skin tone, cover dark spots, blemishes, skin discoloration or red spots. It is just to soften fine lines and large-ish pores. I have really ...read morelarge pores and pitting and this helped a little bit. It slightly smoothed out the overall look of my skin and giving it a more diffused, soft look. As it says on the box, it gives the skin a BARE look... It doesn't offer ANY coverage. I'd be more disappointed if I had false expectations about this when I decided to try the travel size, but I read the description thoroughly and got what I expected.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Don't Be Scared!! It's FAB!!!
When I first saw it out of the tube, it was a weird orangey color. Don't be scared!! It melted right into my very fair skin and gave me the lightest bit of coverage. Weightless and felt like nothing on my skin. Love Love Love It!! It is a bit on the pricey side though.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Underwhelming
This was a disappointment. The coverage was nonexistent, the consistency was thick and it was very greasy. I ended up having to put powder over it to give me at least some coverage. I threw it in the drawer with all the other products I'll never use again. Frankly, L'Oreal's BB Cream is 100x better than this for a fraction of the cost.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
