I tried the Giorgio Armani Prisma Glass in the 01 Clear shade, and it truly lived up to the hype, providing a stunning glass-like finish that makes me look instantly radiant. Because this is a lip gloss, expect that this requires reapplication throughout the day, it wears beautifully and remains non-sticky and comfortable. The polymers they used smooth out the lips. This is not sensitizing, making it a great option for those with lip eczema, especially since it is fragrance-free and essential oil free. Its lightweight texture glides on effortlessly, and the simple packaging with a thin doe-foot applicator allows for precise application. While nothing beats hydration from within, this gloss helps keep lips from drying out effectively. -

Let's dive into my experience with Urban Decay Face Bond Foundation . I have dry, sensitive skin due to a prescription cream. I tested this foundation on both chilly, dry days and a humid, rainy one, wearing it for 10 hours each time.
**Foundation Claims:**
The foundation boasts a matte finish, medium coverage, transfer-proof, smudge proof formula, self-setting capabilities, and features niacinamide as a key ingredient.
**Experience:**
Verdict? It's fantastic for humid climates. It feels feather-light, even in sweltering conditions, and renders a flawless complexion under all lighting conditions—HD, flash, and natural daylight. The packaging is clever too—a nozzle dropper design for mess-free application. Be quick with blending though, as it sets fast. I recommend applying it in small sections. I applied this personally with a dense face brush. While I didn't experience any issues with niacinamide, it's worth noting that some people may have sensitivities. On extreme cold days where my face can't handle niacinamide, I'd skip this foundation.
**Performance:**
On dry days, it clung to dry patches, so I upped my skin prep next time. On the humid day, it held up even after cooking. Impressively, it didn’t settle into fine lines or crease under my eyes, maintaining its true color throughout the day. While it stood the test of waterproofing admirably, it did exhibit some wear after 12 hours, albeit gracefully. A flash test proved its natural matte finish, even at the end of a long day.
**Price & Recommendation:**
At $57 plus tax, it's pricey but worth it for the elegant finish and longevity. Compared to others I own which is almost the same amount but just as expensive, this wears better than the rest. I’d reserve this for special events, especially when I’ll be photographed a lot.
