Purchase and Packaging
I recently ran out of my favourite Rihanna Fenty foundation and wanted to try something new. So today I am going to review the Urban Decay ‘all nighter full coverage long-wear’ foundation. I purchased mine for £29.50 at Debenhams and got the shade 7.0, in store this colour looked perfect with my tan which is Bondi sans tan in ‘Ultra Dark’. The packaging is silver and stunning with the cracked detail at the front having your chosen shade of foundation peaking through with the classic UD initials at the centre of the bottle. It also comes with a pump which makes the application less messy and saves a lot of product.
Application and Wear
I applied the foundation with a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge which gave it really airbrushed appearance and used two pumps that created a full coverage look over my whole face. The product does have quite a strong scent of the typical ‘foundation smell’ which doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The foundation claims to be full coverage with a modern matte finish and perfect for all-night affairs. I applied the product at 9am and took it off around 7pm, It lasted throughout the whole day however it did fall into my smile lines and forehead lines (which I never knew I had lol). Also when it comes to the shade of the foundation, at first it looks perfect however after applied it begins to oxidize and turns a bit orange. to fix this issue I had to apply more powder to defuse the colour, I use the Laura Mercier translucent setting powder. so if you have combination to oily skin (I wouldn’t recommend for dry skin as it may cling to dry spots on your face) then this could be the perfect foundation for you. This will be my GO TO foundation for nights out!
