Dose of Colors Meet Your Hue Foundation& Concealer: Another combination I like is the Dose Of Colors Foundation & Concealer. They give a similar finish and effect as the Urban Decay duo and therefore make a great alternative if you want to try something else. Price point is quite similar, though, just like the formulas, so it’s quite a spot-on dupe. To highlight: Use a Stay Naked Correcting Concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your natural color. Get customized coverage with Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation by using different tools for application.Use the flat side of the applicator for a precise, light application, or lean into the curve for a heavier dose of concealer. The only downside I can think of is that it may just be a bit heavy duty for a day to day look. It still looks pretty and it works well with the concealer, but I personally don’t have a need for such a full coverage concealer on the day to day. I don’t mind a bit of my under eye bags to shine true. But if you want your concealer to cancel out anything, then this is a great one. My Final Thoughts in the concealer is a touch lighter than the foundation. It blends into the skin flawlessly with a sponge and I would recommend that. Since this concealer is so high coverage I feel it needs something to diffuse it just a little bit. I didn’t know it was possible, but this concealer makes my under eye area look airbrushed. The wear time on it is excellent as well: this doesn’t crease, draw into fine lines, nor does it emphasize any texture and makes you look 50 years older than you actually are.

With concealer I always like to discuss the doe foot applicator in some detail. And this applicator definitely warrants a bit of a moment. The applicator isn’t a standard doe foot: no, it has a curve to it. This allows the wand to carefully hug your features for a super precise applicator. And that is not a line from a sales pitch. That is exactly how I have experienced this applicator. I do find that it holds a bit too much product to start off with. So I like to go in with the applicator, dot the product around my face and then use the applicator without any product on it to spread out the concealer. The SwatchA vegan long-wear formula that was designed to be weightless, breathable, and flexible with a second-skin feel, so you always look like you. Stay Naked blends seamlessly to even out skin tone and minimize the appearance of pores. Plus, it’s lightweight (no heaviness or caking!), waterproof, and won’t transfer. Just buff it out with a sponge for lighter coverage or use a brush to build up its medium coverage. I’m surprised how good these stayed on! The only place I had some creasing was in my smile lines and a bit between my brows since I have a little frown line. Other than that, no creasing. It stayed perfect during the day; I didn’t do any touch-ups. I’m impressed! Alternatives

So what does this foundation have to offer? According to Urban Decay this foundation is nearly as good as fairy dust. The claims on this are amazing: flexible, breathable, matte finish, medium coverage that is buildable to full, transfer proof, waterproof, pore minimizing, no oxidation and its vegan. I mean if this foundation delivers on all of it, then it is quite possible as valuable as unicorn blood. The claims on this concealer are just as great as on the foundation. This is a buildable to full coverage concealer, also flexible and breathable, matte finish, transfer proof, waterproof and vegan. It should cover any imperfections you may wish to cover. Again, a very big difference between this and the Naked Skin concealer it is replacing. That was a much more lightweight, hydrating concealer than this, so these do not compare. The Applicator So Urban Decay promises us that the foundation and the concealer are up to 24-hour wear. I didn’t plan on sleeping with these products, but I tested wearing both the products for a whole day. We’re talking about 11 hours wearing the foundation and concealer.

Use it as a traditional concealer to cover dark spots and blemishes, or go a few shades lighter or deeper to highlight and contour cheekbones and facial features. We love it so much, we use it all over the face as a foundation, too! With 25 vegan shades, this concealer is designed for nine shade intensities, three mastertones, and five undertones. How To Use Medium coverage: Build the first layer with a second one and blend with a blending sponge or your favorite brush. And this also explains why this is NOT simply a replacement of the Naked Skin foundation. That was a very light coverage, hydrating foundation, whereas this is medium and matte. On my dry, dehydrated skin that usually means a challenge. But since it is Urban Decay and the promise is a natural feeling foundation, I was definitely intrigued. The Swatch Stay Naked is available in 50 shades with nine shade intensities for all skin tones, with built-in mastertones and undertones that make finding your shade easy. Use our Foundation Finder tool to find your exact match! Still not sure? When in doubt, go with the NN in your shade intensity. How To Use

The foundation dries down matte; however, it doesn’t feel dry on my face. I have combination skin, and even the dry patches on my face don’t feel irritated. I was scared that this foundation might accentuate the dry patches around my eyes and nose, but it didn’t! I decided to review both products in one blog post. I bought these together, they were launched together and both products are replacing some of my favorite products by Urban Decay: their Naked Skin foundation and concealer. Especially the concealer has been a firm favorite as it was a very lightweight, natural looking product. The same went for the foundation. But those have now been discontinued and have been replaced by the new Stay Naked line. This is definitely not the same product, so I was curious to see if I liked them as much. The foundation retails for €39, while the concealer costs €28. Urban Decay Stay Naked Foundation As you can see the foundation is quite liquidy and runny. It is definitely a very thin formula that spreads easily and is easy to blend out. And a little goes a long way: I only need one pump for a full face application. The good thing about this foundation: the claims it makes are true! It is matte, but also natural look. It has medium coverage, but the thin formula prevents it from looking cakey. I was pleasantly surprised when I first felt and saw this in person. The Shade MatchThis liquid concealer’s lightweight, hyper-pigmented, and super-creamy formula mean you can customize your coverage level without creasing, caking, or settling into fine lines. Stay Naked’s flexible, wave-tip applicator allows for even more coverage—use the flat side to lay down product, or use the precision tip to spot-correct and easily blend those harder-to-reach areas like your undereye. Have you ever heard of a natural matte foundation? I hadn’t, until I tried this. In terms of formula, coverage and application, I truly think the Urban Decay Stay Naked foundation has something new to offer to the market. It has a medium coverage, but still looks natural. It is matte, but doesn’t adhere to dry patches. It is longwear, but never looks cakey. This foundation stays looking great all day and even survives a sweaty dance evening and a late night concert without touch ups. Urban Decay Stay Naked Concealer
