Urban Decay Naked Skin The Illuminizer Translucent Pressed Beauty Powder

There’s a new face powder from Urban Decay coming soon.

If you’ve ever wanted to decorate your face with gems — no, literally wear gems ? on your face — now’s your chance! Urban Decay has a new face powder coming out called Naked Skin The Illuminizer Translucent Pressed Beauty Powder.

Gosh, that’s a mouthful…

It has white synthetic sapphires in it for a lovely, luminous glow.

Sounds fancy, doesn’t it?

Ooh, sleek packaging…

This is basically like a MAC Beauty Powder. You can wear it all over your face as a setting powder, or use it as a targeted highlighter for specific areas.

It just comes in one shade, but it’s supposed to be universally flattering. I built it up in the swatch below to give you an idea of the hue, which is kind of a peachy beige with little silver sparkles.

Swatch-a-rooooo!

It looks like it’s tailor-made for pale peeps, but it still does a little something-something for tan skin, too. I didn’t think that a tan person like myself would be able to pull it off, but somehow it works, although you can’t really see the glitter at all. Just the glowing opalescence.

I really like how it looks on bare skin. That’s when the opalescent-ness really comes through.

Light ’em up!

It also functions as an improv pore eraser. I swear that it makes mine look a little smaller…
