okay. this was one of the tester that my sister brought me from sephora singapore. and i almost forgot i haven't try them. now i had spare time, so i wanted to share my review.
what they said about it: coverage without compromise. our weightless formula blurs imperfections for a flawless finish that feels invisible, but looks professionally retouched.
Whoever said 'you can't have the best of both worlds' never tried Naked Skin. Not only does our new light-as-air foundation give you the buildable coverage you desire – it also looks and feels like you're wearing absolutely nothing. Naked Skin uses light-diffusing spheres to 'blur' imperfections for a luminous, demi-matte finish that feels invisible but looks professionally retouched. Naked Skin is oil-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, and loaded with nourishing ingredients: Matrixyl 3000-Anti-wrinkle and lifting peptides restore and maintain skin's youthful appearance while increasing elasticity. Litchiderm (derived from lychee fruit) – Protects the skin from dehydration, oxidative stress and accelerated aging, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion. Green Tea & Vitamin E – These anti-oxidants neutralize free-radicals and promote collagen production for smooth and supple skin.Sodium Hyaluronate – Holds and attracts water for optimal hydration, circulation and nutrient absorption, making skin smooth, soft and youthful. Our range of 18 meticulously calibrated shades use a numbering system to help you choose your perfect match. Shades ending in '.0' are warm (yellow/olive undertones). Shades ending in '.5' are cool (rosy/neutral undertones).For professional results, we recommend you apply, buff and blur your way to a flawless finish with our Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush. Designed specifically for Naked Skin, the densely packed shape of this amazing brush distributes makeup evenly and perfectly buffs out the light-diffusing spheres for a soft-focus finish. Don't have the brush? You can also apply using your fingers or sponge – Naked Skin always blends beautifully. (copied from urban decay website)
the color: my sister's friend picked up the shade 1.0. i've told my sister to told her friend to pick the lightest shade they had, so she picked the shade 1.0. i didn't know about the shade ending. if i'd known before, i would've told her to pick both 0,5 and 1.0. but i wasn't about the availability. i tried the swatch twice. once under my room lighting, at night. and once under sunlight this morning. yesterday i thought 1.0 was a good match. i swatched it on my jawline, and it blended perfectly, but i didn't do full face yesterday. this morning i did full face, and i noticed a slight difference between my face and my neck. i didn't sure which undertone i had, but reading from pinterest and other website, i thought i had cool undertones, since my veins were blue and purple.. but i wasn't sure.
the smell : no weird smell, but don't trust my olfactory sensor for this one. i had anomalies toward smell. i couldn't smell bad smell pretty well, but i couldn't stand strong fragrant too. soooo if it smell bad for other people, probably it would be true, since probably i couldn't smell it.
the coverage : weightless yes. but coverage without promise? hell no. my face skin problem was redness. and as you could see in the picture, they didn't cover my redness that well. although i had layer it over and over again. i used sponge FYI..
the performance : i had oily skin, and today i used it without powder to set it. and i wear it for almost 4 hours, and i noticed i only had shine on my nose, which was typical. it was pretty standard. even my max factor did the same.
overall : i had to say, this was a bad liquid foundation. why not change the name into BB cream? then people won't judge about the coverage. i assumed when people bought foundation, they wanted at least medium coverage. but this one was very light. even my bb cream could cover my redness better! for that price, i would definitely pass it.
