Ever since I started working full time I’ve noticed that sometimes (despite even thinking so) you make up won’t last all day. I didn’t notice until recently that all of the base products I use are actually from Urban Decay so I thought for today’s post I’d talk you all through what products I use on a daily basis to sort out my base make-up as I am super happy with how these products make my skin look and the Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation seriously lasts all day!
Urban Decay Quick Fix Hyracharge Complexion Prep Spray - £23.50 (currently £21.15 on Feel Unique)
This is the newest product from Urban Decay, which I have
been using, and I absolutely love it. I’m a big fan of the Smashbox Photo Finish Radiance Primer and use it pretty much everyday but on the days when I
don’t have as much time to get ready, I needed a quicker option and this spray
works like a dream. This is a soothing prep priming spray which helps smooth my
skin, brighten my skin and make my skin look more moisturised. This spray has
been created in partnership with Skindinavia and it’s inspired by the Korean
water trend which makes this spray even more hydrated then the B6 Prep Spray. I
use 3 or 4 spritzes of this before applying my foundation. I only have the
travel size at the moment but I’ll definitely be purchasing the full size version
when this runs out.
I’ve been very loyal to Estee Lauder double wear foundation
(and remain loyal to it) but I wanted to try something new. On days where I don’t
want heavy coverage, I opt for double wear but on the heavy coverage days I use
this foundation from Urban Decay. If you’re a heavy coverage sort of girl then
you seriously need to try this foundation. I find that it works best when you
use a buffer brush rather then a beauty blender to achieve flawless coverage. I
went to work wearing this foundation and came home and did 16km on the exercise
bike and even tweeted about this foundation as it didn’t move an inch (even
with a sweaty face!)
If you’re a sufferer of dark circles then this product will
revolutionise your life. This range of colour correctors is relatively new from
Urban Decay and I was drawn to the shade peach as it helps brighten the skin
and hide dark circles. After I’ve applied my foundation, I reach for this and
dab a small amount on my dark circles under my eyes and blend in with a Beauty Blender and they immediately disappear.
After using the colour correcting fluid in peach, I reach
for my all time favourite concealer, which is the naked skin concealer, and I’ve
gone through about 4 or 5 of these now! I even wrote a post about how much I
love this concealer here. I use this concealer everyday and absolutely adore
it. It’s so easy to apply, high coverage and doesn’t crease under your eyes. I
use this on top of the colour correcting fluid and my eyes are left looking
glowing and brightened after using this duo.
Lastly, to make sure my make-up stays in place all day, I reach
for my all nighter setting spray. I’ve tried so many budget setting sprays (the
NYX one is quite good) but nothing has really compared to this spray from Urban
Decay. It’s very light on my skin, It makes me feel like I’m not wearing much
make up, my skin is left feeling hydrated and my make up lasts all day. What
else do you need from a setting spray?!
What base make-up products do you use? Have you tried any of
these products from Urban Decay?

once again feeding my urban decay obsession with this post! i feel like the only gal on earth that doesn't get along with the all nighter; i think its because im obsessed with the naked skin foundation, its a medium coverage but i build mine heaps (means my bottles don't last very long but its so worth it) and when i tried the all nighter i just found it to be to gel based for my liking! DEFFO going to try the colour correctors i've had my eye on them for so long, my next payday treat!!
