It's a common enough occurrence when you try a product that you neither like or dislike, and just think it is very average. This is one of them for me!
I had Debenhams vouchers to spend, and not actually "needing" anything I thought I would wing it and try something new. I had read that Urban Decay had some new "Naked" releases in the form of face products, so I thought I'd give the concealer a whirl. I actually have been trying to find something to brighten up my under-eyes.
Choosing a shade was rather a challenge, and a lesson as to why it's a bad idea to blindly order make up online. I chose "fair neutral" - as I don't believe I have a warm or cool complexion and I thought "fair" would suit my pale (un-tanned) skin. I didn't realise it would look so…. white! If anyone asks, I'm going for the Kardashian make up look!
Shade comparison with my other concealers -
left to right - Urban Decay Naked Concealer Fair Neutral - Clarins Instant Concealer Shade 01 - Loreal True Match shade Vanilla
It blends out so sheer that I really don't feel it does anything for me. I guess it really is weightless then! It isn't all that creamy and whilst it claims not to crease, I can't confirm or deny that claim since I have natural lines around my eyes, any product is going to crease on me.
If I paid full price for this concealer I would be rather disappointed. I am sure there are many drugstore alternatives which would work just as well. The good thing I can say about the Naked Skin range is the massive shade range (As opposed to only 3 shades available in the Clarins concealer!).
What do you think of this concealer? Have you tried it? Would you be tempted to try it?


Great balanced review, I've been interested in this one after reading loads of good reviews but I'm so picky with my concealers I wasn't sure whether to go for it or not! Don't think I will now!
ReplyDeletei know you like the clarins concealer, and it is miles better than the urban decay!
DeleteGreat review lovely! I can't decide between this or the NARS creamy concealer!
