Orange :(

First off, I’m a VERY pale girly - so pale that my legs turn purple when I’m cold. Finding the perfect foundation shade is insanely hard for me - everything oxidizes on me and I’m left looking like I got a BAD tan during the Christmas With the Cranks movie 😭

I will say, there’s a LOT of shade options (which we love to see) but I’m thinking the photos showing the shades were not accurate. I was sent shade 4 cool - girl, to put a normal amount on, I ended up looking ORANGE!

A tried a few times with different applications - I always use a beauty blender! I tried with different amounts of product - if I use TWO drizzles, I look like I tanned. I cannot wear this without tanning - which I can’t do to save my life (I burn so easily).

My biggest issue was the name; when we are blind buying online, we not only look at the shade but we take mental note of the SHADE NAME - they called this 4 Fair Cool - this was Sunkissed warm if you ask me.

Now, there are lighter shades which I’m super interested in trying! I loved the feeling after a few hours and it felt super light weight - but finding a shade match isn’t gonna be easy.

Moral of the review - wrong shade match, but LOVED the formula! I will definitely be on the lookout for lighter shade options when I visit Sephora next!

Light weight

I was so excited to try out urban decays newest foundation! As I love almost all of their products.
This is one of those products that has more than one main purpose and I love that!
This foundation works as a setting powder and a serum all in one. Now personally I would still use a separate serum, but I’m all for added benefits! One of the things I love most is the easy dropper design bottle! It makes for a no mess application!

The formula definitely drys down in a way that feels matte but also leaves the skin looking slightly Dewy which I love! It’s so so light weight - it felt like I had no foundation on!
I would still purchase and use again, but unfortunately it did miss the mark for me a bit with the length of wearability. I tried this foundation with and without primer and on more then one occasion each. And each time I found it wore off before the end of the day. I’m not sure if it’s because I have more oily skin braking it down or what. But with that said I would be willing to continue using it and purchase as a light weight option for days when I don’t want a full coverage look. And a light weight feel. And I will continue trying with other primers and setting sprays.

I received this product free in exchange for my honest review.

Squeeze it

Urban decay facebond is a triple threat that is a liquid foundation, serum AND a setting powder all in one in the cutest squeeze tube for ease of use! It is easily buildable for medium coverage ans comes in 40 shades to find your perfect match! Beautiful natural finish too! I will say however i would recommend if you have dry akin to really moisturizena hydrate before applying because i so find it shows dry patches visibly. I do think the squeeze tube is great idea but given how small it is i do feel like ill end up having to cut it open for alot of leftover foundation that wong squeeze out which im not a fan of for what the cost is in my honest opinion.
Thank you butterly and urban decay for sensing me this foundation to test!

Didn't like it

I received this Face Bond Waterproof Foundation in shade 3 Fair Warm from @urbandecaycosmetics and @thisisbutterly to try. Boasting 3% niacinamide, it's advertised that it was clinically tested to improve the skins texture after 4 weeks (I only wore this for a little over a week straight).

The shade I received was too light and the wrong undertone (I am pretty sure I chose wrong 🤣 So that's my bad), but I made it work with some bronzer and blush.

I think the packaging is very cute, it's nice that it's a squeeze bottle but I imagine when there's little product left, it'll be difficult to balance it upside down to get all the product out. The needle nose dispenser is really unique as it prevents too much product from coming out and getting messy. The self setting formula was nice but I still added powder to the spots I normally crease (forehead, under eyes, sides of nose).

The lightweight formula applied easily with both sponge and brush, and you could build up the coverage for sure. But I found that the product emphasized my dry textures and clung to any dry patches I had which was disappointing, even with good moisturizer or primer. On my good areas though I found it wore very nicely through the day, still looking like skin so this might be best for those with oily skin (I have combo skin). This foundation wasn't for me, sadly ☹️ But I will keep trying it maybe another week to see if the niacinamide actually helps.

Shade IRL looks different from photos

Can not provide a full honest review because the shade I received was way too orange for my liking. Also, the small amount I did put on my face really clung to my textured skin and emphasized them which I do not like.

Not my fave

I was really looking forward to trying this foundation. The claims sound absolutely perfect for my combo skin. Unfortunately it didn’t impress me as much as I was expecting. The parts I loved: it’s very lightweight and almost feels like nothing on the skin. It’s also buildable. The parts I disliked: this didn’t play well with my SPFs (and I tried two different kinds just to give it a fair shot). It also wasn’t long lasting on my skin in my T-zone. I tried it powdered and not powdered and neither made a difference. This will be nice for the warmer months as it gives a soft matte finish, but it isn’t one I will reach for when I need a full day of wear.

Love it, just not for me.

I will say, I am a huge UD fan - but, I wasn’t super inlove with this one…

It’s a great product, just not one I love for my own skin. I have a lot of texture, dry patches & oily patches and a lot of redness. I do like that it’s very buildable and with about 3 or 4 layers I was able to achieve the level of coverage I like. It goes on pretty smoothly and looks great, but it did cling to my dry patches and the redness popped through which made me a little sad. I will say I love that it truly does last all day!


I do think this is a great product to have in your makeup bag, just not one I personally would repurchase in the future. I’ve seen lots of reviews online about people loving it so I suggest you give it a shot yourself and try it out.

Great All-in-One!

I tried this for a week, and it took me a few tries to get the perfect application and coverage I needed. 1 find that this formula dries quickly, so I have to act quick in blending if I want smooth and even coverage. I've tried applying using fingers, a makeup brush, and a makeup sponge. It works best with a makeup sponge. It gives me perfect medium coverage. If I want full coverage, I just layer! I do find this a bit on the dryer side, so I make sure to use a good moisturizer and primer first. 1 usually use creamy foundations, so this took some time to get used to. It tends to want to settle in my fine lines, especially around the eyes
This does a wonderful job blurring and hiding imperfections. It gives me a good matte finish. It does a good job not transferring once it sets.
This is waterproof and takes a little effort to remove completely, even with an oil-based cleanser. But, it lasts all day!
There are so many shades available - 40 in total! As you can probably see, I will be ordering a lighter shade. 1 am wearing 11 Light Cool.

Decent coverage, a little cakey

I think this does what is intended, which is medium coverage. It pretty decently covered my redness, but did not cover so much that you couldn't see any of my moles or other features. However, I do think this looks better on camera than in person - it looked a little bit cakey in places, and settled into the larger pores on my nose more than covering them nicely. For reference, I generally consider my skin to be pretty dry. So I think this would work pretty well if you're using it to take pictures with, but less so for everyday wear.

Separated on skin

I was really hopeful for this product, the ingredients, and claims. But after a few hours of wear, it separated on my skin. As a mom, I need something doesn’t always require me to touch up over and over again.
