The Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation is designed for individuals seeking a high-performance, medium-coverage liquid foundation with a natural-looking matte finish. Its key benefit lies in its remarkable 24-hour wear, waterproof formula, and extensive shade range (50 shades) designed for precise color matching, ensuring a breathable feel that minimizes pores. A minor consideration is that the product does not include an applicator, requiring users to supply their own.

The Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation excels in delivering a real-skin matte finish that feels incredibly lightweight and breathable. Its buildable medium coverage means you can tailor your look from everyday natural to more polished, without feeling heavy or cakey.
For light to medium coverage: Start with a small amount (1-2 pumps) and apply with a damp beauty sponge or your fingertips. Blend outwards from the center of your face.
For fuller coverage: Apply another thin layer to areas where more coverage is desired. Use a dense foundation brush for more targeted application and blending.
Pore Minimizing: To maximize the pore-minimizing effect, press the foundation into the skin in areas of concern using a patting motion rather than swiping.
Daily Wear: Its 24-hour wear and comfortable, flexible formula make it perfect for long workdays or busy schedules where touch-ups are minimal.
Active Lifestyles: The waterproof and long-wearing properties ensure it holds up well during workouts, in humid conditions, or light rain.
Photography/Events: The matte finish and pore-minimizing qualities make it an excellent choice for photoshoots or events where you want to minimize shine and create a smooth canvas.
All Skin Types: While it offers a matte finish, its breathable nature makes it suitable for all skin types. Oily skin types will appreciate the shine control, while normal to dry skin types will find it comfortable without feeling overly drying, especially when prepped with a hydrating primer.
Prepare Your Skin: For best results, start with clean, moisturized skin. Applying a primer can further enhance longevity and smoothness, especially for oily or textured skin.
Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Dispense: Pump a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand, a mixing palette, or directly onto your chosen application tool (sponge, brush, or fingertips).
Skin Types: This foundation is suitable for all skin types, providing a balanced matte finish that works for oily, combination, normal, and even dry skin when properly prepped.
Layering: It layers well with other liquid and cream products, such as concealers and blushes. For best results with powder products, apply them after the foundation has set.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
Hygiene: Always apply foundation with clean hands or a clean applicator (brush or sponge) to prevent contamination and maintain product quality. Regularly clean your makeup tools.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the product packaging, typically a jar icon with a number (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), indicating how long the product is good for after opening.
