The Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer is a light-weight concealer with a demi-matte finish. This means that when the concealer sets it won’t be fully matte but it won’t be super dewy either. The Naked Skin Concealer comes in a 5 mL bottle with a doe-foot applicator. The bottle is see through which makes it a little easier to see your shade match, this one is Fair Neutral. The Naked Skin Concealer retails for $29.00.
Speaking of the doe-foot applicator. The applicator is a rounded, flat applicator that is designed nicely for getting the product out of the bottle. Whether it’s a fresh bottle or you’re trying to scrape out the last little bit, this applicator does a great job. It’s also nice and soft which I think makes a difference if you’re using the applicator to apply directly onto the skin instead of transferring to a makeup palette or a different brush. I found that the applicator was big enough that I could get the areas I wanted to get without having to do a bunch of applying but it wasn’t so large that it was cumbersome.
As for the product itself. The Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer is formulated with Japanese Green Tea, Litchiderm, and Sodium Hyaluronate. Why are these important? Well the Japanese Green Tea is going to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and if you’re applying this to the under eye area then you’re probably wanting to do some of that. The Litchiderm comes from lychee fruit which helps the skin fight against dehydration and this is important because if your skin is dehydrated it’s going to look dull and lifeless. Lastly, the Sodium Hyaluronate will help the skin retain moisture which helps the Litchiderm do its job! More ingredients are below:

A few other things I want to note about the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer before I tell you my personal thoughts. First off Urban Decay is a cruelty free brand so this product IS cruelty free, however, it should be noted that Urban Decay is now owned by L’Oreal who is NOT cruelty free. In other words, Urban Decay and this concealer are cruelty free but Urban Decay is owned by a parent company who is not. It is up to you, the consumer, to decide if that matters to you or not. Another thing I want to mention is that the Naked Skin Concealer is listed on Urban Decay’s website as being Vegan as well. Lastly, I want to note that there are 14 shades available at this time for the Naked Skin Concealer. There are five shades listed for dark; Extra Deep Neutral, Deep Neutral, Dark Warm, Dark Golden, and Dark Neutral. There are also five shades listed for medium; Medium Dark Neutral, Medium Dark Warm, Medium Light Warm, Medium Neutral, and Medium Light Neutral. Lastly, there are four shades listed for light/fair; Light Neutral, Light Warm, Fair Neutral, and Fair Warm.
As you can see the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer is a great concealer. The wand is designed in a way that it gets product out of the bottle easily and then applies that product easily as well. My only issue with this Urban Decay Concealer is that while it’s supposed to protect against dehydration and help the skin retain moisture it’s actually drying on my skin! I find that when I use this concealer it feels a bit dry and has a tendency to cling to my dry skin patches. From what I have seen though, this has happened to a few people but is not a super common occurrence. My recommendation would be for those with normal skin to for sure give it a try and those with oily or dry might want to either get a sample to test out from Sephora OR keep the receipt in case you have the same problem and need to return it. This is by no means a bad concealer, it’s just a concealer that doesn’t work the best for my skin.

Too bad hat it is drying on your skin! I like concealers that are slightly more dewy and definitely more emollient and hydrating.
I do as well and everyone raves about this one and so I thought it would be okay. I think my skin is just to dry for it.
Did you say which shade this concealer is? I couldn’t find it or see it on the tube. The one you showed was a bit too yellow for me. But I like the ingredient list. I’ll check out light neutral next time I’m at a store, and see if it would work for my cool-toned pinkish skin 😉
Your right I did forget to put that! I spent the whole time writing it going “Don’t forget to put what shade it is” and I totally forgot! This one is Fair Neutral.
This sounds like a nice concealer for oily skin. I wonder if this is a dupe for NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, which is another demi-matte that my oily skin likes. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts!
I haven’t tried the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer so I can’t say if it could be a dupe but that would make an excellent post. I’ll work on getting it and trying it to let you and everyone else know!
Bummer it wasn’t the right fit for your skin! I’m generally a UD fan, but haven’t tried this product yet.
From everyone raving about it I was hoping it would work and was sad that it didn’t as Urban Decay makes great products and I like supporting them.
This is one of many concealers in my collection. I like it when it’s freshly applied but by the early evening I do see that its drier than I’d prefer. I will have to try it again to see if it stays or goes.
Can’t wait to see if it makes your final cut.
Looks like a nice concealer. Yes this is vegan
It is a nice concealer, just didn’t work for me. For those with skin not as dry as mine I highly recommend it!
I’m with you, I found this concealer to be a little drying, but it’s still a great product and stays on so well! Fair Neutral is also my shade 🙂
I agree it’s great! I’m hoping that once my eczema is under control I can revisit this one.
This was my HG concealer for the last year, but my skin has become drier so I looking for something else.
My favorite concealer for last year was hands down the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. It didn’t dry me out, I could actually set it with powder without feeling like the Sahara, and it stayed put all day!
Hmmm, I think I might need to pass on this too. My mature skin likes to cling to concealers and I prefer to not show off my fine lines. Thanks for the review!
You’re very welcome. If you have a problem with concealers clinging then sadly this will be a skip. Do you have a favorite concealer?
