In today's post, I'll be doing another foundation first impression as well as wear test and the foundation I'll be reviewing is the new Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation. I've read many negative reviews on this foundation online so I got really curious and I really wanna find out if it's really that bad. If you are curious like me, keep on reading!
First and foremost, let's find out what this Urban Decay foundation claims to be. On the Sephora website, this Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation claims to be a 24hr long wear liquid foundation that gives not only a real-skin matte finish, but it even looks better with its stay-true colour, which minimises the appearance of pores and does not transfer. It also claims to feel like second skin, all thanks to its breathable and flexible formula that moves with you. Well it sounds pretty good to me and since it gives a matte finish, I think it is perhaps a good foundation for oily skin.
So let's take a look at the packaging first. I must say, I kinda like the sleek bottle packaging that this foundation comes in. It also comes with a pump and a rose gold cap which gives it a classy look. The only thing is, fingerprints get stained on the cap very easily thus you've got to wipe it after every use.
As for the shade, Sephora has a guide to the shade selection on its website as per the photo below.

I got mine in the shade 20CP, 20 being the lightest shade, in cool pink tone. Like I mentioned in my precious foundation review posts, I prefer foundation with cool pink undertone because as an Asian, I already have yellowish skin tone so I prefer pink undertone foundation to brighten my skin tone instead.
The shade is slightly lighter than my original skin colour but with oxidation and bronzer, this will work. The foundation has a very watery consistency which is what attributes to its weightlessness I guess. But to my surprise, even though it is very watery, it also dries up really quickly. For this foundation, you really got to work it slowly, a little amount at a time to prevent it from drying.
As for the coverage, I think it does have a pretty good coverage. With just a small pump, I was able to cover 70% of my dark circles as well as my acne scars.
The coverage is very buildable as well so after putting on another layer of the foundation, my dark circles are almost 100% covered. It does have a skin like finish and I would say it is slightly tacky so this is definitely a foundation that requires to set.

The longevity of the foundation is pretty impressive. Most of my foundation stayed intact after 12 hours of wearing it and I didn't notice any shine or oiliness on my face except for the nose which was a little shinier on the tip and it did seem like such of the foundation was gone already. But the rest of the face still looked as good so I am pretty impressed with this foundation.
All in all, I think this new Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation is a good foundation if you have oily skin because it is honestly quite drying and it does have a pretty matte, skin like finish. The coverage is in my opinion, medium to high and the longevity of the foundation is good, if you have oily skin. But if you have dry skin and would still like to give this foundation a try, I would suggest that you use a very foot moisturising primer before going into this foundation. And do remember to work it slowly on your face because it really dries up quickly.
And that's all I have for this first impression of the new Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation. I hope you have a good time reading it. Please follow me if you haven't already and I'll see you in my next post, xoxo.
