It is well known that the Urban Decay Naked Skin
concealer is my all time, ultimate favourite, and so when they launched the ‘All
Nighter’ I knew I had to try it. I thought it might be useful to do a
side-by-side review in case you’re looking at both and don’t know which to
purchase.
NAKED SKIN COMPLETE COVERAGE CONCEALER - £19
This concealer is all about radiance underneath the
eyes. He formula includes light reflecting particles – the ones that make you
look like you didn’t stay up binge watching Friends for the 100th
time – which also help reduce the appearance of fine lines under the eyes. Winner.
The applicator is a great shape to swipe underneath the eyes if you pick a
shade you can highlight with as well, however, I always recommend wiping the
applicator on the inside of the tube otherwise you will end up wasting SO much
product and you really don’t need to use that much.
This concealer blends like a dream, and I have a
shade which is a little light so it highlights as well, but it blends
beautifully. I would always recommend going to a counter for a shade match when
buying high-end makeup, but especially with the shade range for this concealer
as some of the shades are a little bit off. For reference, I use the shade fair
neutral. Though the formula is light, it has good coverage and lasts all day, it’s
rare that I catch myself in a mirror and am horrified by my dark circles
peeking through.
ALL NIGHTER WATERPROOF FULL-COVERAGE CONCEALER - £20
Onto the new addition, Urban Decay claim that the
coverage is SO good it could even cover tattoos, yes, you read that correctly. This
concealer has a much higher coverage than the naked skin, it really does cover
well, without using much product. One downside of the coverage is that I find
it harder to blend into the skin. I’m not looking for a completely natural look
– I mean it’s full coverage – but it would be nicer if the formula was a little
more liquid and easier to blend.
It has a normal doe-foot applicator, which makes it
easy to place the concealer exactly where you need it, a little goes a long
way. Unlike the Naked Skin, this concealer is waterproof which will come in
especially handy in the summer, or if you’re prone to crying. I think the fact
that it is waterproof makes it more durable and is especially good if you have
oily skin as it has a better lasting power. Due to the soft-matte finish, this
is also great to use for cover blemishes, whereas the radiant finish of Naked
Skin doesn’t make it the best option.
One thing worth noting is that the Naked Skin
concealer has more product in it, naked sin contains 5ml, whereas the all nightery
has 3.5 ml of product as is more expensive.
In general ,I have to say I prefer the Naked Skin concealer,
I think the All Nighter is great and the coverage is amazing, but for someone
with dry skin it is just a little too matte. The All Nighter works really well
if you mix it with your eye cream which is a nice way to use it and it really
does stick in place, but the Naked Skin makes me look so awake and so radiant,
it will always be my go-to.
