Urban Decay’s Naked Skin makeup is said to use “light-diffusing spheres to blur imperfections for a luminous, demi-matte finish”. This makeup is oil-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, and contains nourishing ingredients.
Shade Range. The shade range in the Naked Skin makeup is very impressive, with eighteen shades available in warm and cool tones. The shade numbers indicate the tone in the makeup, with shades ending in ’0′ being warm yellow/olive and ‘.5′ being cool rosey/neutral tones. When first looking at the shades and tones available I thought it would be difficult to choose my match, but the detailed descriptions Urban Decay has offered for each shade enabled me to make my match even ordering online. My shade is Shade 2.0, which is described as: “fair with slight yellow undertone” which does describe it perfectly.
Application. The consistency of this makeup is very lightweight and runny. I am very pleased they chose to design this product with a pump-top so it is easier to get out the amount needed to apply. I shake this foundation up before dispensing, dot the makeup onto the areas of my face, then I have been using the Beauty Blender to stipple and blend it into my face. This makeup also blends seamlessly, and so going over areas of the face that need more coverage looks very natural. Urban Decay recommends applying this foundation with their Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush which is designed specifically for the Naked Skin, but I have not yet tried this brush. I have also tried my Sigma flat top kabuki brush and it has also worked well.
Finish and Wear. The finish of this foundation is “demi-matte” as Urban Decay describes it. It gives a very soft and natural look, slightly matte, but not powdery. I find this perfect for my oily skin, and found it lasts approximately 6 hours with no shine, and minimal shine after that. I found that it only slightly clung to dry spots on my face, but using a bit of moisturizer ahead of time took care of this, so I think those with dry skin would find this a very comfortable foundation to wear as well. The makeup lasted all day on my face with no fading. I find the coverage of this foundation to be a light coverage with one layer for me, and can easily be built to medium and close to full, however I find the finish to really blur imperfections, so I am comfortable even in a light coverage.
Ingredients. For ingredients listed on the packaging, please view the photo here. This makeup does not have a SPF rating, so it will be necessary to use SPF before application of this foundation when wearing it during the day. Urban Decay has recently released the Naked Skin Beauty Balm which contains broad spectrum SPF 20, and is recommended for use under the Naked Skin makeup. I have used up a sample and must buy a full size to review and use up myself!
Overall, I am loving the very light feel this makeup leaves on my face – it really feels like I am wearing nothing at all, just as Urban Decay says. I wasn’t sure if I would like the finish, because I have been into more luminous foundations lately, but the finish does look natural, not too matte, and for someone like me that deals with combating shine, it is a nice relief to not have to worry about it for 6+ hours. With the shade range and tones offered in this makeup, as well as the buildable qualities, this is a great makeup for all seasons, and for many skin types and tones.
Where to Buy: The Naked Skin foundation is $39.00 and can be purchased online at UrbanDecay.com, Sephora (ad), and Ulta (ad).

Love this foundation!
It is fabulous!
Wanted to try this but the girl in Sephora talked me in Make Up Forever HD foundation and I don’t like it all, it goes powdery on me and oil breakthrough happens in less than 2 hours. I will have to return it and insist on trying the Urban Decay one. Thanks for the review!!
Oh bummer! I know a lot of people like Makeup For Ever, but I have not tried it out – that is too bad it doesn’t work well for you. This one seems to be the perfect finish, and setting it with an HD powder (I am using NYX) it makes it last even longer – LOVE!
I’m so glad this review helped you out – I hope you the product when you try it! 
I tried a sample of this and it looks amazing and has wonderful lasting power. I think I will purchase once I use up some foundations (which may take a while). I have the Makeup For Ever HD and that has horrible lasting power on me -not a fan!
Hi Aileen,
Oh wow – I have never tried the Makeup For Ever HD,but always assumed it was amazing! I am so pleased with this foundation for sure!
Wow this is gorgeous on you, as usual
I had totally passed up this foundation because I read so many reviews that it was too dewy or didn’t last long or wouldn’t be good with oily skin, but I trust your reviews and I know you have oily skin, like I do, so I am really wanting to give this a try now! It looks so light and natural and perfect on your face–completely undetectable! And I love that it has a semi-matte finish. That’s my preferred finish because despite the fact that my skin is crazy oily, I don’t like using a flat matte foundation at all. It’s hard to find a good semi-matte foundation though so fingers crossed this one will work for me!! 
Thank you Becca – yes the coverage and lasting power is divine! To tell you the truth I hadn’t read reviews for this on oily skin, so I had no idea what they were or I might have avoided it too, lol! I am happy it works for me, and I am loving the finish – it is just the perfect amount of not-quite-matte, and so even by the end of the day when I am a tad shiny, it still doesn’t look half as bad as some foundations do, and I even find it acceptable not to have to touch up. I hope you like it too!
Gorgeous color match, Angie! I like this level of coverage too. Once I finish up the last half of my MUFE Face & Body, I might give it a try if the color is right. That could take some time though, hah.
Hi Nicole!
So good to hear from you. <3 I take it that you like MUFE Face & Body? I had tried Mac Face & Body but did not care for it much, and totally forgot about MUFE! I may look into that one sometime. 
I think you would really like this foundation so I hope you can try it – maybe tease yourself with a sample to see if that works – haha! 
I like the MUFE version, but it’s quite light coverage. The finish is very natural which I like, and since my skin has gone from super oily to almost normal I appreciate something that doesn’t enhance any dryness from the acne treatment. It wasn’t the best thing when really oily, but absolutely everything had major shine breakthrough in a couple hours when really oily so I can’t say I really know how it would work for other people.
I looooooove this foundation! I love how it just works with my skin, is so lightweight yet covers what needs to be covered. Happy to see your liking it too!
I feel like such a slacker! I have to get caught up on your blog now!!
I know it is such an awesome foundation! I was so happy when you commented that you love it so much when I posted it on IG – I was like for SURE I am going to love it – and I do!
It is great! 
Thank you for this review Angie (actually for all your reviews)! I finally purchased this foundation as you know from instagram, and I cannot wait to try it out! Your pictures look amazing and this review definitely helped me with my foundation hunt/purchase!
That is so exciting! I am so happy that my review helped you out – that makes me smile!
I am loving this foundation for sure – it is definitely a great one. 
I hope you are liking it too!
I loved the samples that I got of this. I tried it last summer and intended on buying it. I still have some things to use up but this is definitely on my list to buy!
Yes I know what you mean about needing to use products up! This is definitely a good one though, so I’m happy I got it!
