UFR: Almay Nearly Naked Foundation


Find this and more on my Ultimate Foundation Review page here



Shade: 260 Sand
Price: RRP £14

CLAIMS
  • Blends seamlessly to a beautiful finish
  • Nourishes and protects with grapeseed
  • Won’t clog pores


DESIGN/APPLICATION
The plain glass bottle has clear writing and a purple lid which, although basic, adds a classy and smooth feel to the foundation. The bottle itself dispenses as a tip bottle rather than a pump. Despite this feature it doesn’t dispense more product than necessary as the formula is thick.

AVAILABILITY
Available from the almay website for $12 - $15 although UK customers can find the product at fragrancedirect from £2.99. Available in just 6 shades.


APPEARANCE
The formula is quite thick but not so much that it cakes the face. It is very easy to blend without pulling on the skin and it makes my skin look a lot smoother and more refined. It doesn’t dry out my skin nor does it make it look heavily greasy as some hydrating foundations can do.  




COVERAGE
It smoothes out easily and covers skin beautifully and fully without leaving it look as though it’s been shovelled on. A little bit goes a relatively long way and the formula is thin enough to cover well but thick enough to blend.

LONGEVITY
This lasts a good 8+ hours.




VALUE
For the price I got it at, £2.99, it was an absolute steal. Not only is it worth that but I’d say it’s definitely worth its more hefty original price tag of $14. It definitely lives up to its claims and I’d go as far as to say it’s one of the best foundations I’ve used.
