Not for me.

I tried to love this, I used different primers and prepped my skin differently but it’s not for me. I have combination skin, oily and some hormonal acne monthly. This made me break out in those areas. It’s patchy, it doesn’t stick, doesn’t blend. It’s very matte and I love the bottle. This isn’t hydrating which you’d assume with skincare ingredients in it. Not easy to use… there’s better out there.

Great packaging , too matte

It’s like a foundation, serum & setting powder in one and contains 3% niacinimide. I love the mess free dropper and the sleek packaging. It has a medium coverage and a natural matte finish. I think it’s a bit too matte for my liking and it provided good coverage but it emphasized my texture where my skin is dry. I love the design of the bottle. It’s a great size for travel and the mess-free application is amazing.

Waterproof and sheer coverage

It's not only waterproof but also sweat and humidity proof, perfect for the warming up weather. It's feels very lightweight on the skin with medium buildability.

I put some on the back of my hand and tried to wash it off with soap and water. It survives and only removable with makeup remover or micellar water.

Because of its dry touch texture, I find it doesn't melt into my skin. The shade I had was #6 Fair Warm.

Good if you have oily skin

This is self setting so I wouldn’t recommend for dry skin, but it would be perfect for someone with oily skin. The coverage is great and looks bright and fresh on the skin!

Good product, poor packaging

This is a good product, and it gives great coverage - however the biggest downfall to it is the packaging. I packed this up to take it on vacation, and was shocked to find that a large amount of product had spilled out into the cap. Usually there is a stopper or some sort of packaging feature that prevents this from happening, but not here. It made a huge mess.

Not for Dry Skins

While I appreciated the opportunity to try Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation, I found it left my skin flaky and patchy after application. Despite its promise of waterproof coverage, I struggled with its consistency and longevity throughout the day. The formula felt heavy on my skin, and despite my efforts to blend it in, it didn't provide the smooth finish I expected. Thanks to @urbandecaycosmetics & @thisisbutterly for the chance to try it, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations.

Nice product but broke me out

Excuse my tired face but the product was good at evening out redness. It wasn't drying. It definitely lasted all day. I could absolutely feel it on my face but it wasn't super heavy like many. I don't think it is great for acne skin because while it may cover the acne, it broke me out. I haven't had many breakouts in a long time but literally by the end of the first day wearing it, I had 4 pimples that weren't there that morning. If you don't have acne, this would be a wonderful product!

Difficult to apply

I have a love hate relationship with this foundation. I love the brand and the wide variety of shades to match all skins tones. Unfortunately the foundation did not live up to its promises of being waterproof and transfer free for 24 hours. Even in mild weather without sweating my face looked bare after half a day of wear. It is also difficult to apply as it goes on quite dry and a lot is required unless your face is super moist.

Okay experience

I received the Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation for free from Butterly and Urban decay in exchange for my honest review.

First of all, I love trying out new foundations so I was very excited that I was chosen to review it.

The foundation claims to be waterproof, self-setting, buildable, up to 24 hour smudge and transfer free. Also, it has 3% niacinamide to benefit your skin instantly and over time.

Let’s talk about the bottle. I love the idea of a squeezable foundation bottle. It prevents messes and wasting product.

The lightweight formula was easy to apply, as long as you didn’t leave it on your face for too long without blending it. It is buildable and does not transfer easily.

I have combination skin so I noticed that the foundation made the dry patches on my face more noticeable. However, It did cover my redness. Perhaps, this formula would work better on oily skin only.

It was an okay experience for myself but I did see a lot of good reviews on it.

hard to blend

I like how it felt on the skin - very lightweight. I also like how there was no powder needed, so there was no need to add another layer, which helped with the lightweight feel. It also covered my blemishes with one layer! The wear was also good throughout the day and it stayed matte even with my oily skin! But because of the powder already being in the foundation, it was really hard to apply and wasn't blending smoothly - the self-setting acted too soon! You can see how patchy it is on my face, and also resulting to a cakey appearance. I also wished there's SPF of at least 50.
