Urban Decay: Naked Foundation

Urban Decay's Naked Foundation

This foundation has me both satisfied and confused. For $38 at Sephora, you get a large bottle with a ton of foundation for at least 6+ months. Price wise, I think I could do better at a department store, but up to this point, I haven't found a good color match with department store brands. The color match is amazing on my skin and blends easily. The only issue I have with this is its setting power. I use a powder over it to set my foundation, but if its warm outside or I sweat, this stuff is gone faster than I can breathe!

It covers well and has excellent color matching, however I think I may be on the look out for a different foundation once this stuff is gone. I have generally combination skin and this stuff is a bit more oily than I'd like. I usually have to reapply midday since by then, my blush is completely gone. Overall, I think I may look into UD's other products or at least something with the same color, but not this stuff. I might be more successful with a foundation powder rather than a liquid.

This stuff also strongly smells like rum. I kid you not. I opened the bottle the first time and it took me a bit to place the smell, but I asked my roommate and she agreed. So if you can't stand a bit of a rum smell in the morning, this may not be the foundation for you.
