Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup Review

Hello!

Before I get into the review, I want to make a disclaimer that I was using my Dior sunscreen with it (in fact, I've only ever used it with Dior), and in my experience, Dior sunscreen has the tendency to make foundations apply better, and look better and more glowy.  

So a long time ago I already reviewed this foundation on my Instagram

Herro 👋 let's talk about a new foundation I've been trying out 😄 Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup. It's what I'm wearing today but iPhone 4's front camera's quality is shit so you can't really see it anyway 😆 when I first tested it out I wasn't sure if it was breaking me out, but I was also testing out other products at the time. Now my skin is clear so I can say it doesn't 😄 the most impressive thing abt this foundation is how weightless it really is-- it really feels like my skin! Prob the lightest weight liquid foundation I've ever tried. I love the finish-- super super natural (light coverage). I usually don't like super liquidy foundations bcuz it tends to emphasize dry patches (I usually prefer a bit of creaminess) but this one doesn't 👌 doesn't make me oily and wears well. Really, I have a super positive experience with this foundation... Me likey 👍 the only downside is it smells horrible... But the smell dissipates quickly. It's a really good foundation that I'm totally willing to overlook this little flaw 🙈 I've tried shades 2.0 and 3.0 and honestly they both work... 2.0 makes me look a bit pale but matches my neck better (my face is darker than my neck now 😓) 3.0 leans just a tiny bit orange. Both shades are fine really 😆 #urbandecay #beautyblogger #bblogger #instareview #nakedfoundation #skinfoundation #foundationreview #makeup #cosmetics

I think this foundation is worth its own blog post xD


This shade is 3.0. Like I mentioned, 2.0 works fine too. This foundation is light coverage enough that as long as you just use a light hand, I don't think 2.0 and 3.0 makes that huge of a difference for NC20. 


Can you tell it's super watery/liquidy?


Super runny foundation


It's very thin and light









Blended

The application actually kind of reminds me of MAC Face & Body foundation-- it thickens up ever so slightly when blended in. However, it has more coverage than F&B, finish is more semi-matte, and is not sticky.




I think for a very liquidy foundation, I'm impressed that it doesn't emphasize dryness/lines.




Bare face








With foundation

Like I mentioned... the Dior sunscreen did have an impact on the finish O_O Sorry I don't know how this foundation would look on its own-- it's not like I would ever go out without wearing sunscreen, so for me it's impractical to test out a foundation on its own.



Haha I look so stupid here. But couldn't crop out my eyes without cropping out most of my face xD







Maybe just think about this foundation looking less glowy lol








Overall effect









This kind of glow is 100% from the Dior sunscreen lol. Not an effect from the foundation itself.

About 6 hours later









Wears pretty well





Conclusion:

Not much to add to my Instagram review. I think it's a great foundation. I'd really like to add it to my collection but I already have so many liquid foundations LOL. And let's face it my Dior sunscreen kind of gives similar finish to all of my foundations anyway... now I'm starting to feel maybe there's no need to go try all the foundations out there LOL (although I'm still tempted to).

Foundations these days are so expensive (or I guess just makeup in general...), if you're looking for a mid-range brand foundation, I think this is a good one to start with :)

Hyuna 빨개요 (RED) Inspired Makeup

Hello there!

So... I've been debating whether or not if I should post this entry, cuz the more I look at it, the less I like my work -_- And most ppl are probably more interested in reading reviews rather than looking at makeup looks XD Then I thought... oh well I already took the time to recreate it. I had fun while I was doing it anyway X)





I didn't even know about this song until Bubz posted her recreation of this look on her channel.When I first heard the song I was like it sounded so stupid -_- but as soon as I closed the window, the song was stuck in my head LOL. Trust Hyuna to always come up with super catchy songs. I had the same experience with "Bubble Pop" hahaha. Like "wtf?" at first, then "mmmmhmmm actually, I really like it ❤_❤" *puts on repeat and shamelessly blast it around the house* LOL. I wonder if this music video is censored at all in Korea... it's kind of border-lining... you know.


Here are some screen shots of Hyuna's makeup. She also wore nude lips with the same eye look in some scenes, which is really pretty as well.

To be honest, when I first saw this look I was immediately reminded of Rania's Dr. Feel Good makeup look. Like a watered-down version of the eyes. Anyone else agree? hehe.










It really doesn't look like her makeup was too heavy but I bet it's because the lighting is super super bright... her makeup is probably mega washed out.




I don't know if it's only the lighting, but her makeup does look a bit more heavy here. Like bottom heavy. Maybe it's just the lighting *shrugs*



Here's the makeup I used!

Base makeup: Laneige BB Cushion. I feel bad cuz I kind of bad-mouthed it the last time I talked about it, saying that it's exactly like IOPE and I was disappointed O_O I gave it a few more tries and ended up having different experiences O_O I'm still trying to make up my mind about it lol.

Used an individual yellow gold eye shadow... Half baked from the NAKED palette is too copper toned.

Then I used "Suspect" and smother that all other the gold eye shadow to tone down the gold cuz as you can see, Hyuna's eye shadow isn't excessively gold.

Then I used a mix of this random grey eye shadow, Copperplate by MAC, and Milani Liquid Eye to add the darkness to the makeup. By the way I would never use the Milani Liquid Eye pencil eyeliner if I was wearing this look out. I only used it cuz it's easy to smudge and I wasn't planning for the makeup to stay.


For lipstick, I have Lancome L'absolu Rouge in "Spice Pink", which I've got for quite a while now.


Don't know why the music video is called "Red"??? Her lip color looks more like a fuchsia red to me. Anyway I thought this lipstick was perfect :) if I want to make it a little more red than this then I just simply layer my Tanya Burr lipgloss "Heart skipped a Beat" over it.  


Girlfriend has not used falsies in YEARS. And oh man did I struggle XD These are from D.U.P. I believe I've featured them years ago.


#911


Now I look at my work I feel like I did a really bad job recreating it XD oh well

This was when I only used the gold eye shadow... before I washed it down with the silvery taupe.




The eye makeup

HAHAHAHAHA Told you I struggled! I did really try to get the lashes as close to the lash line as possible... did NOT happen LOL. oh wells.


And excuse my pathetic lower lashes. Actually I was quite proud that I was able to get a few to even stick out at all XD


Eh the more I look at it, it really looks kind of messy. Meh -_-






Gotta post a lie-down pic just like what Hyuna did in the MV! Har har.

I have to admit... when I took these pics... it did cross my mind "aren't you a bit too old to be posing like this??!"

AHAHAHAHA gotta do it now or it's never XD  







So I was playing with my other camera, cuz my current blogging camera is actually a little malfunctioning -_- but I'm gonna put off buying a new camera for as long as I can. I was trying to see if I can transition into using this camera for blog photos. Turns out the exposure was too high but I kind of like the effect XD


Yep, it was so bright that you almost can't see ma nose. LOL. Mmmm didn't bother to contour cuz I don't know how to do it without it looking super unnatural on me.




Anyone remember the Rania Dr. Feel Good makeup look, which I tried recreating before here years and years ago??

What's up with all the lie-down poses XD I swear it's a coincidence! But the makeup is quite similar right? See what I mean about Hyuna's look being the watered-down version? lol. Aka minus all the black/sharp eyeliner, but use deep eye shadows instead for a more diffused yet defined look.

Alrighty! Sorry you guys had to put up with my selfies. Actually, on second thought, I'm not sorry XD Hahaha why should I lololllll. Okay I'm getting delirious. Need to sleep.

Hope you guys have a wonderful wonderful weekend! I'm so excited to just chill and relax X_x


Thinking about reviewing The Face Shop cushion next... or swatches for Rimmel lip lacquer. Anyone has a preference? Or other suggestions?

Good night everyone and thanks for reading ♡
