Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer Review


I thought I'd try a different concealer this time around (I've been using the Barry M Flawless Light-Reflecting Concealer for the past few months) and after browsing various make-up websites I found this one seemed to crop up quite a lot among the best-selling and top rated lists. One of my work colleagues also said this was her favourite concealer and since I'm already a huge Urban Decay fan, I had to try it!


  I went with the shade Fair Neutral, although Light Warm was also pretty close to my skin tone, it was just a little bit too pink for me. The concealer comes in 6 other shades too (Light Neutral, Medium Light Neutral, Medium Neutral, Medum Dark Warm, Medium Dark Neutral and Dark Neutral) and the first part of the name represents the intensity of the shade and the second part indicates the undertones in the product, which should make it easier to find the right shade.

First Impressions

The concealer felt quite light and creamy going onto my skin for the swatch and I also think you get a fair amount on one application. As I don't get too many spots and tend to use concealer mostly to hide any dark circles under my eyes, I think a little will go a long way with this one! It also looks really bright too, which will be good for under-eye concealing.








How It Looked

Ok so I can definitely confirm this gives full coverage! I took this photo of myself after getting about 4 hours sleep the night before and 2 weeks straight of getting up at 6am for work and I actually look a lot more human than I felt! (I don't edit any photos on this blog but the lighting in my room is pretty decent anyway) I'd also had a couple of breakouts which you also can't see so that's pretty impressive too! The only bad thing about it was the brightness of the concealer; it made it look a little bit too light for my skin tone so I did end up putting a tiny little bit of my foundation on top to try and even it out a little bit. I also had to blend it out quite a bit but this was really easy to do with either a brush or a sponge. You definitely only need a tiny amount to get a good coverage for this one!

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert*  This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Birchbox Goodies // May 2019

Does anyone else have a major urge to just spend the next few months sitting in the nearest beer garden or is that just me? Summer is well and truly making its return and for this month's Birchbox we're celebrating being able to spread our wings (although I wish those wings were taking me to a beach). In this box, I got a Lord & Berry eyeliner, a toner from Sukin, a Beautaniq mascara, a face sunscreen from Mimitika and a hair mask from Philip Kingsley. Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eye Pencil RRP £13 I'm pretty sure I've received one of these in a previous Birchbox and from what I remember, I liked this product then and I like it now! I don't really use black pencil liner unless I'm doing a dark smokey eye, in which case I'll use it to line my bottom lashline. This one is pretty pigmented and also smudges out really nicely so it ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a product like this. I do think the price tag is a little expensive though, ...
