Months ago, my cystic acne returned. My face has been sore, inflamed, and sensitive. Searching for a lightweight foundation with decent coverage has failed—until now!
Planets aligned and I was asked to try Urban Decay's Face Bond in exchange for my honest review! Amazing!
This serum-infused gem evens out my complexion and improves my skin's texture over time. Its buildable coverage lets me adapt to any occasion, from casual days to special events. Its self-setting powder leaves a natural matte finish, eliminates the need for a devoted powder, and sets it to stay for 24 hours. Plus, between the 3% niacinamide and its non-comedogenic properties, it's acne-friendly, which is a huge relief since I am rocking my new acne era!
With 40 shades to choose from, a rarity when other brands often offer only "close enough" shades, I found my perfect match in Fair Cool. The lightweight formula feels like a second skin, and it's built-in self-setting powder keeps it in place all day—no smudges or transfers (not in Pilates or even to my pillowcase when I napped!).
Let's briefly talk about the dropper design because it is genius! Designed for a precision application, it will ensure I will waste less per application by slowly controlling the foundation's flow. Perhaps more importantly, for me, anyway, the bottle design is genius because when I have no concept of what my arms are doing (often) and anything on the counter can (does) go inexplicably flying off said counter, I will not have to hold a funeral service over the half +++ amount of product lost to the counter, or the floor (wall, ceiling, sometimes) in a tragic fluke accident that, I mean, who could have EVER seen coming or even prevented?! All that to say the Face Bond bottle is a masterpiece. It will keep your new favourite foundation in the bottle until it is applied to your face instead of gracing your (er...my) floor with a makeover it never asked for.
Face Bond is more than a foundation. It has been my true skincare saviour. 5/5.
