My thoughts:
Finally, I can use a foundation without worrying that I will transfer it onto my clothing or accidentally someone else! 😂

I love the pinpoint applicator. It is amazing! I like that the foundation is buildable, so I can choose coverage and areas that I want to cover up: blemishes, dark spots, scars, or hyperpigmentation.

I found that a little drop of the Face Bond does go a long way. It spreads easily and looks like there's nothing on my skin. My skin didn't look cakey or cracked and it didn't pill. It also didn't interfere with my morning skincare or mineral sunscreen.

The foundation dried to a powder finish. I like this aspect because I tend to have oilier skin later in the day and even oilier during the summer months, so this helps control the shine factor. It will also help keep my foundation from sliding off my face.

I am really excited about the waterproof aspect. I wish this was around when I was younger with a full face of acne and hitting the beaches!

I love when a makeup product is more than one thing! I think it is brilliant that Face Bond contains skincare ingredient Niacinamide to help improve skin texture and feel!

Overall, it is a good foundation and provides great coverage!

Pretty Good

This is one of the better foundations I've used. It matches my complexion almost perfectly, and goes on really well. But after wearing for a few hours with just some powder, it looked like I needed a bit of a touch-up.

Taking this with me on my summer travels!

This all in one liquid foundation doubles as a serum and a self-setting powder and is water-proof and smudge-proof. Perfect for travel and on the go. I found the coverage to be light to medium and is easily buildable. The formula is lightweight and fluid making it easy to apply and blend. I felt the foundation did a great job staying put most of the day. I have combination skin and found it to be a little drying and cakey so a good moisturizer is required prior to applying this foundation. Lastly, I need to comment on the well done packaging of this foundation. I really appreciate the squeezable bottle with the fine tip applicator that allows for precision control and no mess!!

Deuxième peau

Ce fond de teint est comme une seconde peau.
Je n'en mets pas beaucoup en termes de quantité mais je sens qu'il peut facilement passer d'une couvrance moyenne à une bonne couvrance.

Sensation légère sur la peau et se « blend » aisément

Definitely a Game Changer

Love Love LOVE the formulation for this foundation! I used it on two separate occasions (for a friend’s wedding and reception) and I couldn’t get over how comfortable I felt with it on! The foundation is not sticky or heavy on the face - literally feels like you’re only putting moisturizer on, it’s so lightweight! It also blends into the skin with little to no effort! The foundation truly is long lasting and setting. My makeup did not budge all day regardless of all the dancing and sweating I was doing! I also love the small spout it has - makes it a lot easier to not waste product. A little goes a long way with this foundation! I’ll definitely be purchasing this product again! Would definitely recommend!

Innovative and buildable!

I really enjoyed this foundation after receiving it for free in exchange for my honest review. My highlights would be the natural finish, long-wear formula, skincare ingredients, innovative mess-free application, and buildable coverage.

Long lasting

I did enjoy this foundation ... it stayed true to the description ... as it states it has a medium buildable to full coverage and you do not need powder with this foundation. I would recommend it for normal combo skin.

Makeup artist staple

I love the packaging and functionality of this product - so luxurious! It’s also super sleek and perfect for travel.

The finish was a lot more high coverage than i expected, and it didn’t jive well on my oily skin throughout day when applied in an even layer all over. You can see in my photo it collected in patches especially on the nose during the day. I instead love using the product as a lightweight concealer. It adds flawless coverage and blends very well, you can layer it throughout the day. I think these would be perfect for a professional kit since they would last very well throughout the day, ideal for weddings!

A foundation that will not fail

When I tell you this foundation stays on, it STAYS on like there is no tomorrow. I wore it at the pool (yes, I went in, and yes, I dunked my head underwater many times, thank you very much); there was no discernible difference in the before and after pictures I took (and, to my relief, no foundation dripping off my face into a widening weird skin colored underwater cloud.)

The bottle I was sent came in a fully recyclable cardboard box, but unfortunately the bottle itself it all plastic. The dropper system is really great when it comes to not making a mess but also when I wanted to add a tiny bit of foundation on a spot I’d missed. I tried applying it on some days with a sponge and on other days with my fingers. Both methods worked really well with this foundation, although I was able to achieve a more natural-looking look with less coverage using the sponge.

I used my fingers on pool day so I had a fuller coverage. It was really impressive. I have pretty dark undereye circles and I felt like I got a full year’s worth of sleep what with how well they were covered. Too bad my body and brain didn’t get that memo.

I do know that the foundation’s formula include a serum, which is supposed to help improve skin texture after 4 weeks. Obviously, since I have to post a review only seven days after receiving the product, I can’t tell you much about any skin improvement. But I will be posting a follow-up in about six months, and I am planning on testing this baby on the hottest summer days, which means sweat, humidity, and pool-time. I’m kind of looking forward to seeing what’ll happen.

Great coverage well still feeling light weight!

I absolutely adore the Urban Decay Face Bond Foundation for so many reasons, but what truly sets it apart is its dual function as both a makeup and skincare powerhouse. With 3% niacinamide, it goes beyond just covering imperfections – it actively nurtures your skin. Niacinamide is a wonder ingredient that promotes keratin production, keeping your skin firm and resilient. Plus, it helps fortify your skin's lipid barrier, locking in precious moisture – a godsend for all skin types, especially those like mine, prone to eczema.

While I found that applying a moisturizer beforehand helped with the application, the results were undeniable. My skin felt noticeably softer after wearing Urban Decay's Face Bond Foundation. The coverage is fantastic, yet it feels incredibly lightweight – a dream combination! I particularly love that I can build up the coverage and achieve a radiant matte finish.

What truly impressed me is the inclusive shade range – as someone with olive undertones, finding the perfect match was always a struggle until now. This foundation not only flawlessly covers any redness in my complexion but also adds a subtle glow that I can't get enough of. (Light Medium Cool Olive)

Now, let's talk about the packaging – the squeeze dropper style bottle is genius! Sure, there was a learning curve with an air bubble causing some initial mess, but once I got the hang of it, it became a low-maintenance essential in my makeup routine.

In short, Urban Decay's Face Bond Foundation is more than just makeup – it's a skincare savior that caters to every aspect of my complexion, leaving me feeling confident and radiant every day.
