Urban Decay Fall 2009 - Part 2

Yesterday, we looked at the newest eye products from Urban Decay. Today, we will be looking at the newest face makeup that has come out this season. It looks like this company is taking their award winning eye shadow primer and applying it to other products in the line. I have never really used primer on my face before but with how much I love Primer Potion, I would really consider trying one out from this company.

Complexion Primer Potion - Pore Perfection - Smooth on a little Pore Perfection Primer Potion before foundation (or alone!) to totally minimize the look of pores and fine lines. The velvety, paraben-free formula flashes down to a soft-matte finish without the greasy, heavy feel sometimes associated with foundation primers. The result? Flawless skin with an airbrushed look and feel. Foundation applies smoothly, evenly, and won't fade away. Ideal for oiler skin, but dry complexions who want pore perfection will love it, too. The convenient squeeze tube includes a twist-up dispenser (like school glue!) for easy portion control.

Complexion Primer Potion - Brightening - Dull skin? Fine lines? Disappearing foundation? Try Brightening Complexion Primer Potion under foundation (or alone!) for beautifully moisturized skin that looks brighter and feels tighter. This light-weight, oil-free, paraben-free formula includes buzz-worthy ingredient Matrixyl 3000, celebrated for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres also minimize the look of fine lines whil leaving skin beautifully moisturized. Your skin will look youthful, lifted, and firm, and your foundation will apply smoothly, evenly, and last longer! Ideal for complexions that need moisture, and great for mature skin. But, our Brightening Formula gives every skin type a healthy glow.

Surreal Skin Cream-To-Powder Foundation - Want porcelain-perfect coverage AND a modern, natural finish? Surreal Skin Cream-To-Powder Foundation is your answer. This ultra-lightweight formula transforms from a decadent cream to a micro-fine powder upon contact with skin. You won't believe the instant transformation! The light-as-air texture glides on effortlessly and feels as natural as your our skin (No heavy, greasy, or powdery makeup texture). Lighter than a liquid, our buildable formula gives you all the coverage you desire, without the pore-clogging effects of heavier foundation - you can even wear it as a concealer. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres and Pearl Powders hydrate and reduce the appearance of fine lines, while antioxidants, like Vitamins A and C, nourish and protect skin. And, you Urban Decay fans with LOVE to pull this compact out of your bag! The transparent violet compact features a collage of skulls, flowers, and funny creatures. Inside the double-decker compact houses a mirror, your foundation, AND a ventilated compartment for a custom, cruelty-free brush. No more digging to find your foundation brush - its included.
- Illusion - fair
- Dream - light

- Supernova - light/medium
- Hallucination - lightly tanned
- Mirage - dark olive

Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup - Yes, it's the latest rage in skincare but why? Mineral makeup contains no talc, oils, artifical dyes, or fragrance - just naturally derived minerals - making it perfect for even the most sensitive skin, oily or dry. So why is Urban Decay's Mineral Makeup different from other mineral foundations out there? The package just might be our favorite thing - totally mess-free. Other brands' makeup needs to be poured and brushed and swirled and whatnot. Ours comes with an attached puff. Just puff it on for a flawless finish anywhere - at your vanity or on the subway. Use a little for sheer coverage or keep puffing for heavier coverage. Titanium Dioxide, a major ingredient, provides formulation color and great coverage. The handy on/off means you can toss it in your purse - no spills. Another unique thing about Surreal Skin: you'll get a semi-matte finish instead of the shiny finish other mineral foundations provide. The result is natural, not mde-up, and totally weightless.
- Illusion - fair
- Supernova - light/medium

- Dream - light
- Hallucination - lightly tanned
- Trippy - deep golden
- Fantasy - dark copper brown
And yet another post where I want to try everything! Both of the above primers sound very promising. I am thinking that the Pore Perfecting Primer might be better in warmer weather and the other in cooler temperatures. Or to try using the Pore Perfecting on my T-zone only and the other one on my cheeks. I need to look further into this. I have never tried cream to powder foundation and right now looks like a good time to foray off into this rout. The Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup actaully gets me the most excited. I really like powder foundation from Clinique and have had great luck with mose powder products (with the major exception of Bare Escentuals) and this product sounds like it fixes many of the reasons I don't also use mineral makeup. The lack of mess factor and the ease of application are two reasons that I really want to try this product out (since we know that is two reasons why I refuse to buy into the Bare Escentuals hype).

More excitment for fall!
