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")

The Cherry On Top // Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Review

Wow I'm actually sitting down to review something that isn't a Birchbox 😂 I've been meaning to write this post since October when I got this palette, but as usual school and other life stuff have meant it's taken until now to do! RRP £42 This palette originally launched in September as a new instalment of Urban Decay's Naked series. I was really excited by it, as it's very different to all of the other Naked palettes out there and I'm a sucker for anything remotely pink-toned. It retails for £42, making it one of the more expensive palettes in the Naked series, and inside are 12 beautiful berry-toned shades: Hot Spot - a matte ivory shade. I always use these for setting my eyeshadow primer and as a browbone highlight shade. Caution - a neutral matte beige. Bang Bang - a pink shimmer. Feelz - a dusty rose matte shade. Juicy - a peachy pink matte. This is a great transition shade. Turn On - a gorgeous rose-gold metallic shade. Ambitio...

Why I Came Off The Pill // Honesty Time

I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to write about coming off The Pill or not. I personally think that a lot of people, especially women, feel that they can't talk about contraception and the effects it has openly. I recently read a blog by Alex Jones (her Instagram account is @alexgracejones if you'd like to have a look) which pretty much convinced me to write this. As Alex says in her blog, contraception is a conversation I've had with friends so many times, and yet outside of those circles, you don't really hear anyone speak about it. Personally, as a woman, I've always felt it's pretty much been up to me to make sure I don't get pregnant, whether that's taking hormonal contraception or using a condom. It seems odd to me then, that there aren't many women out there talking openly about their contraception, so I think it's time we changed this! I originally went on The Pill when I was 17 because my periods were really irregular and very h...
