Are these similar foundations?
I have (and am really loving) the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation but I'm also looking at the MAC Face and Body.

I love the finish of the Urban Decay...I look really dewy and it feels like there's almost nothing on my skin. I also like the consistency of the foundation - it's SUPER liquidy, it blends super easy.

Buuuuttttttt the Urban Decay has a giant clunky bottle and the pump leaks..also it says it expires only 6 months after opening. And it's pretty expensive lol.

The MAC Face and Body comes in like a GIANT bottle for roughly the same price as the Urban Decay foundation, and they seem pretty comparable?
I know I probably should go into a MAC and test out the foundation for myself but I really would just like to order online and call it a day haha.

Does anyone both? How do they compare?

Grace if you want a rotating dupe foundation for UD naked a great alternative I found (so happy I did) is Revlon nearly Naked it's exactly the same finish at a lower cost ;)

Umm Alma! Thank you for that! UD Naked skin is my favorite foundation but I don't wanna spend $40 each repurchase. I'm going to have to check it out. Is the color range good? (sorry for taking over your thread grace)

Your welcome RT, yes the range is good, I use medium beige 180. By the way if you have a CVS beauty card or points card you can use it towards the purchase and they always have beauty sale's. :)

You're welcome RT. Another alternative if by chance you can't find revlon nearly naked is Rimmel match perfection here is a pic again this time Rimmel match is on the right and left is UD :) it's similar as well but revlon is hands down just like UD. Crazy freckles again lol

Another tip btw I just picked up 3 shades of the Revlon nearly naked at dollar tree. I hope it's bc they're putting it in a pump bottle or something and not that they're going to discontinue it!! Lol the only thing they could do to improve it would be a pump:)

Yeah Alma it was so cheap I was actually able to buy my color plus 2 others so I can finally try highlighting and contouring with foundation without breaking the bank!

Hmm sorry that was wierd. I had to close the app then open it back up before my response would post:(

For highlighting and contour at a lower cost and exact shade for contour (which is only one shade) you should get City color effects 2 contour and highlight palette.I bought mine for $6 but online on their site it's $13 it's the perfect shade and similar to my Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder.plus the highlighter shade reminds me of Becca moonstone, (not my cup of tea but I know ladies go crazy for Becca lol
