After work today, I headed over to Sephora Times Square to pick up my complimentary one week free sample of Urban Decay's Naked Weightless Skin Ultra Definition Liquid Foundation....that's a mouth full. It just rolled out at Sephora a day or two ago and I was so excited to try it out...
The cool thing about Sephora is they love giving out samples, well at least the stores I go to. While I was waiting for my sample, the amazing young man who helped me told me that Kat Von D also just rolled out a new liquid foundation, Lock It Tattoo Foundation. He added a sample of that to my bag as well as a sample of Illamasqua's Skin Base Foundation.
I was able to play around with all three, as well as my current ultimate favorite MAKE UP FOR EVER's HD Invisible Color Foundation to compare.
Urban Decay's Naked Ultra Definition Foundation was the main one I was extremely excited about and unfortunately that's the one that I'm on the fence about. I don't not like it and I'm not super excited about it. It's very light, which is a huge plus. I sweat so easy that if I feel any weight from makeup, I'm soaked. It's oil-free. The foundation is very thin making it an awesome build-able foundation. I really can't stress how light it is, I couldn't feel it at all. I tried on a few of the colors and that's my main concern with this product. I do love the fact that it's a thin, light, build-able foundation. It kind of reminds me of the MAKE UP FOR EVER HD foundation but I feel that it's not as much coverage as MUFE. A tiny drop of the MUFE foundation covers me up perfectly.
I went over my face twice with the Urban Decay. The first time just wasn't enough coverage and the second time caused my skin to look dry and ashed. I think it's just a color match issue for me. Again I tried on a few of the colors but I might have to blend this one with the next darker color...which sucks but, it IS really light weight. Decisions, decisions...Give it a try yourself, at Sephora, $38. Urban decay Naked Ultra Definition Foundation
After washing my face and prepping my skin I tried on Kat Von D's Lock It Tattoo Foundation. It's thicker than Urban Decay and MUFE but it doesn't feel real heavy. It's extremely full coverage but it has a very smooth somewhat matte finish to it.
Lastly, I played with Illamasqua's Skin Base Foundation. It's light weight and it didn't dry out my skin. I was told this was medium coverage but it seems pretty sheer to me. It's a little bit like a tinted moisturizer. People have been saying that it makes your skin look like itself but better... I didn't see any improvement with my skin and for $42, it's not worth it. If you like sheer, check it out. Either head to your nearest Sephora and grab a sample or you can get it here Illamasqua Skin Foundation
So in conclusion, I'm adding Kat Von D's Lock It Tattoo Foundation to my collection and I'm restocking my MUFE Invisible HD Foundation. That is my ultimate favorite. It's light but it covers so well. I feel that with every MAC foundation I buy, it looks like I'm wearing a ton of foundation even if I barely put any on and MUFE is more of a smooth, natural finish to it. It's long lasting and I look AWESOME in pictures with it!
You can find MAKE UP FOREVER HD FOUNDATION at Sephora, $42.
You guys have a great night/morning (it's 12:18am here)! I need some zzzz's so I don't yell at my coworkers tomorrow.
XOXO,
