Wow
I am amazed with this product. I have to admit it is taking some time to get used to it, retouching and all, but it really does blurr your skin! After time it doesn't settle into lines or pores. I tend to have oily skin, though, so when I look oily, my blotting papers lift the product off my skin, leaving a blotchy appearance. Haven't quite figured out how to avoid this yet, but overall, and ESPECIALLY to people with normal/dry skin, I totally recommend this foundation! Its amazing! I look 5 years younger!

Awesome for Oily Skin!!!
I usually have oily skin all day long but ever since I started to use the Naked Skin Beauty Balm, my skin has been transformed! It is no longer oily, I actually feel like I have normal skin. I do get a bit oily but not like last week before using the balm. By the later afternoon to evening...my skin was super oily. I have to constantly use oil absorbent sheets. But not since I started using this balm, greatest invention ever!! As far as color, I think its a little light for me but that is fine.. I wear my UD concealer and of course the naked foundation with it. My skin looks radiant all day long!! Please don't stop making any of the my favorite 3 products ever!! Thanks UD!!!

Love the product, outstanding results.
Trying out this product for the first 2 weeks, I've seen instant results on various areas of my face. It minimized lines under my eyes & redness around my nose. The Beauty Balm applies on smoothly and leaves a silky matte feeling. Also it helps my foundation last longer than usual. This product is a must for every makeup artist or makeup lover in general, Naked Skin Beauty Balm will be my everyday go to item.

Put this on your wish list!
When this came in the mail I was excited to try it out, I had never actually heard of it before, only the Naked palette and foundation. and I was pleasantly surprised. When I first put the beauty balm on it immediately blended into my skin tone (I'm fair skinned and freckled) and had almost a minty sensation on my skin. It also smelled minty, I have no idea why it does but it smells good and its a nice sensation! If you put it on in the morning it wakes me up a little bit more. And I have heard there are great benefits of wearing this beauty balm long term but since I have only tried the sample size and it is pretty much all gone I have not experienced it though my skin is softer. I can only hope that Santa brought me one so I can praise it more! The only downfall is that it is pretty expensive, don't waste it!

Best BB Cream by far!
I recieved a sample of the new BB cream with another purchase, and I have been savoring that tiny tube ever since! I had just purchased a BB cream in another brand and this UD product was so much better! I love that is has sunscreen already in it, saving me a step! It goes on super smooth and the color adjusted to my skin tone amazingly, where other brands tend to be too dark for me even in the "fair" colors. I felt like my skin was noticeably softer after just one use and my husband comented on how well my skin looked when using it. I can't wait to use up the junk I have now and buy this UD BB cream!!

Bummer
I adore UD. I have never been disappointed with anything I have purchased... until now. I wanted to like this BB but I have very fair skin. Like the other reviewers, the cream, though silky and wonderful, looks like I am smearing an orange fake tan cream all over my face. There is no amount of blending that can help get rid of the orange hue. I have purchased other primers that have this hue but blends well either on the skin or with a moisturizer. No such luck here. I will say though that I did not experience any type of allergic reaction like some others have said. I also have super sensitive skin but no breakouts here.
Since I don't want to look like a Jersey Shore cast member, I won't be giving this another try until a fair tone comes out.
March 18, 2013
I'm impessed!
This stuff actually works. Now it doesn't get rid of all my facial flaws, but it did get rid of some. If I put it under foundation, it does make a noticeable difference. I was thinking about getting concealer because I have red spots and other kinds of spots on my cheeks that never seem to go away. They're not pimples, but I don't know what they are either. In any case, this is a good product because I do see somewhat of a difference. However, I still may buy concealer. Maybe in combination of this stuff+foundation+concealer, I may see a significant difference hopefully without it looking too cakey.
February 28, 2013
great primer
the cream has a light beige color and definitely did not match my tan skin tone, but as i put it on it actually goes on clear. it doesn't really cover the redness or dark circles. It was easy to apply my foundation and concealer over it though, and my skin did look smoother!
It did helped to keep my makeup on all day without feeling greasy, but not leaving my skin dry! With the harsh cold winter weather, this actually kept my skin hydrated!
i have only used my sample size for a few days so I can't say anything yet about it's anti-aging benefits. I would definitely try this with UD Naked Foundation.
December 20, 2012
Does what it says
I got a sample of this with my most recent UD order - It's pretty good. It definitely does "blur" the skin/imperfections, that's really the best way to describe it. I've worn it layered under a different brand of foundation (stila) and it really improves the finished product. I'd like to try it with UD's new Naked foundation, since it seems like they were formulated to be worn together. For me, it wasn't enough to wear on it's own - for reference, my skin is normal, clear except for a few days a month, but my skin tone tends towards red and uneven, so I like a medium to full coverage look. For others, this may be enough by itself. I've used other BBs (Dr Jarts) and this one measures up.

A tinted moisturizer without enough skin benefits to justify the price
I received a sample of this and was really excited to try it out. Unfortunately, I saw no difference when I put this product on. There may he been some "optical blurring" but honestly I didn't really notice it. This product is supposed to improve your skin with time and I was unable to try it or very long so I cannot attest to that. Unlike in Asian BB creams I did not see any specific skin care benefits (ie. extract x to improve skin condition y) so though it may improve skin imperfections I do not know what or how this BB cream intends to do so and I cannot justify the price in order to find out.
March 5, 2013
great stuff:)
soo ive been wanting to get this product for a while now soi finally got it andws amazed by the results! it glides on nice and smooth. it smells good and it gives a refreshing feeling. i just rub some on my fingers and apply it to my face add some mascara and im out the door. it gives you a little coverage but it looks like you have nothing on! which is perfect! it is a little pricey but i mean its orth every buck! i mean it is a BB cream not a foundation so your paying fo all the good things it does for your skin not for the coverage:) although it does give some coverage :) overall great product!
March 5, 2013
Fantastic product!
I love the Naked Skin Beauty Balm. It is easy to apply with a light creamy texture and gives great coverage. This is perfect for when you need a lightweight product but want to cover those flaws. I love that it doesn't have a heavy scent and it is buildable! You can also put a layer under your normal foundation to help prime the face. Love it! Aside from those wonderful things it also KEEPS working! I have noticed that my pores are smaller as well as the fine lines underneath my eyes!
December 20, 2012
not for the super pale
I got a sample of this and tried it and wasn't impressed. I don't know how Urban Decay thought they could get away with making a BB cream in only one shade!! Every other BB cream on the market that I've seen comes in at least two or three shades. This shows up orange-y on my skin and offers little to no coverage. Big fail.

30 second daily makeup routine
I've always wanted to start adding a foundation/makeup to my daily routine, but I was too intimidated by the prospect of blending and selecting appropriate shades. I've been very happy with the Naked Beauty Balm, which I've been using daily for several months. I especially like the fact that it has SPF. I look fresher and more pulled together wearing the Naked BB, and it doesn't feel oily or wearing on the skin even after all-day use.
The only problem that kept this product from receiving a 5-star review is that it's slightly too orangey/dark for my skin. I'm a medium-toned woman of East Asian descent, and find this odd, since I think I fall right in the middle of the skin tone range. Oh well!
May 16, 2013
Very Unique
When I got the sample of this product, my first thought was that the color was too dark for me. Then I applied it to my face as a normal bb cream and it blended well. I noticed later in the day that it kind of dried invisible, but it evened my skin tone and took out the redness, My skin just looked like my skin but a little better without looking like I have makeup on. It's a good product, especially for a natural or no makeup look. I really liked this product, but am still trying to decide whether or not to buy the full size. I think I like my Maybelline BB better since it offers coverage too.
March 8, 2013
LOVED my sample!
I received a sample of Naked Skin Beauty Balm in my December Ipsy glam bag. I have been using my sample as a primer under my usual face makeup.
The smell is amazingly soothing and herbal right out of the bottle, not chemically like other face primers or hydrators I've tried. The color is neutral so with spreading it easily diffused to match my pale skin tone. I'm sure it would work the same way for all skin tones so it is very versatile. It is very lightweight to apply and doesn't feel oily in the least. I did feel my skin a little tighter after only a few uses which is great. It wasn't so tight that it was uncomfortable. It primed great and gave me an even skin tone to apply my foundation and going out makeup. Have I mentioned its 20spf?
I can't wait until the full size comes out so I can see the long term effects of this such as firmer more lifted skin. Is it just me or has Urban Decay found the fountain of youth?
December 25, 2012
Amazing!
I love this BB cream. I won't lie I'm new to the whole BB cream craze, but this left my skin feeling and looking so much better. It gives that my skin but better look, and if I want more coverage I just put my foundation on top of it and am good to go. I don't have many wrinkles but I do have large pores and they were definitely less noticeable which I loved, and best thing of all it didn't make me feel oily throughout the day which is so important to my combo/oily skin! I haven't had it long enough to see long term effects, but so far I am crazy for this BB cream and can't wait to buy more. As always, love UD and their amazing products and am so grateful I got it in my IPSY bag this month. <3
December 22, 2012
This product is spreads well and easy to use, but it's sheer.
As someone who owns over 10 bottles of bb cream, I felt its coverage was lackluster. It's sheer and you can't tell it's there. It spreads well, and is easy to use though. If you use it as a prime base or just for moisture then it's a good product. But it doesn't even out skin tone.
December 19, 2012
i really, really tried...
if the pic came through, you can see that i have fair coloring with more than a hint of pink; my pores aren't really big, but they can be noticeable if i don't do my clay mask every night. reading all the reviews, i was soooo excited to try this - anything to make my pores smaller and even out my skin tone. but... this stuff actually made my pores look BIGGER. it also makes my peaches-n-cream complexion look dull and dead and orangey. as a primer, it struck out, too - even with my naked liquid foundation on over it, my pores were noticeable and so was the orange tint. it was so bad i had to wash everything off and start again. just the naked liquid foundation is enough for me. i thought maybe i would just put the balm on at night to see if i could reap the repair benefits, but this stuff just sinks into my pores and clogs them up horrendously - something the naked liquid foundation DOESN'T do. sorry, ud, but this was a strike-out with me all around.
February 28, 2013
massive allergic reaction
I have sensitive skin, so I'm picky about what I choose to put on it, but I've never, ever had a problem with Urban Decay products. I tried this earlier and had the worst allergic reaction that I've had in years. So just be careful.
December 19, 2012
Not what I expected at all
When I received this as a sample in my last order, I was hoping to be amazed. I've been looking for a beauty balm to simplify my morning routine and make my skin look great - unfortunately this was not it. The colour was quite orange, and therefore it did not work for my fair skin at all. It offered minimum coverage, and all my redness was still quite visible - with a slight orange tint. I know beauty balm can't take the place of proper foundation and concealer - but with no skin tone option, this couldn't even work for a "natural look". Sorry UD, but quite disappointed with this one.
March 8, 2013
Want perfect skin? You got it.
This product has changed my life. I used to wear the heaviest coverage I could find because of my freckles. This makes me look glowy and healthy, which is hard since my skin is so dry. It doesn't budge when I sweat at work even! I've tried many other BB creams, but this, this just takes the cake.
March 5, 2013
Naked Skin Indeed!
I really enjoyed this product. I personally have really good skin, just your normal blemishes here and there. I've been looking for a product that just enhances the color of my skin and just gives it a more polished look with out having that "foundation" face on. I found it! I love this product and I definitely will purchase it. It looks good and it feels good. I didn't use a powder to set it and by the end of the day it wasn't shiny by any means. It evened out my color and just made my face look brighter.
During the winter/colder days, I tend to get dryness around my mouth and nose area and with some foundations those areas tend to feel dry and look greyish, but with the Naked Skin it cancelled the gray out and it really did feel good on the skin. Also, there are those times where I'm too tired and just too lazy to remove my make-up ( I know! Bad habits :x ) and usually with other foundations, my face looks oily, worn, and just a mess the next day but with this I really felt like I had nothing on. Like it just dissolved over night.
I definitely recommend it.
( sorry for the long review -_- )
December 19, 2012
Very nice on mature skin
When I first saw the color in the sample size, I thought it wouldn't work on my fair skin, but it blended in beautifully with absolutely no 'mask' effect along my jawline. I wouldn't say this covers any blemishes or other flaws, but it really does make my skin look better and it doesn't settle in to my fine wrinkles. I feel perfectly comfortable leaving the house with nothing more than this on my face. It works well as a primer with both the Naked foundation and with other brands. I'm a believer!
March 8, 2013
Disappointment in a tube
I wanted to love this so badly. Naked Skin is my HG foundation so when I found out that UD was debuting a BB, I was thrilled. Unfortunately the colour is too dark and orange for my skin (I wear 0.5 in the foundation) and I look like I'm wearing some sort of mask when I applied it. It felt nice on application, but even through the distracting fake tan-esque mask I could still see quite a few flaws that I don't even consider using concealer on with other brands of BB. The redness on my cheeks was still very visible. It felt nice smoothing it on, almost like a silicon based primer.
March 17, 2013
Great Product
This product is fantastic to wear it in an everyday basis. Is good to the skin and it those not leaves your face cakei. It gives a natural look, smoothes your skin, while it protecting it of the sun. I do recommend this product to my friends and family.
March 8, 2013
Does not dissappoint...
I received a sample of this in my Glam bag from Ipsy! I was so excited that I got one to try out and I am so happy with it! I havent used it long enough to see other results it says on the label, but I noticed my pores have been minimized...it feels great on my skin, feels light weight, and smells good! Even my Mom says my skin looked different...better she says! =) I cant wait to see the results the more I use it cause so far I love the results...I will come back and leave another review in another few weeks! I cant wait till it comes out net year! I will definitely buy this!
December 19, 2012
i'm sorry but this was not for me
i'm sorry but this was not for me. i wanted to like it so bad. it did glide on smoothly and made my skin feel very soft. it didn't have much coverage so i still needed a foundation on top but the reason i did not like it was because this made me break out like crazy! i have combo breakout prone skin and i regret to say my face did not care for this product.
December 19, 2012
LOVE!
I was pretty shocked to be one of the exclusive ipsy subscribers to receive a mini sample of the beauty balm from UD. I have always wanted to try new products from UD and this is actually my 2nd product ever from UD. I absolutely loveeeeeeeeee how light it is on the skin and i love the fact that it does cover and even out my skin. i love bb creams and this one i'm so excited to come out! i am a beauty youtuber and i'd love to do a review on this one! this product did a great job at what it's supposed to do and it also allowed my skin to breathe and be comfortable. thank you ipsy and urban decay for supplying me with the beauty balm. i absolutely loved it and i highly recommend this for all bb cream lovers. :)
December 19, 2012
Needs improving, especially with the color
I received this as a sample and was not impressed. I was surprised since I generally love all things Urban Decay. I have fair skin and this was way too dark for me. I was surprised to find that it only is sold in 1 color, a very middle of the road medium to dark. I put it on anyway to try it and it was definitely too dark.
I really like that this BB cream has sunscreen in it (sunscreen is very important to use as part of your daily routine) so that was a definite plus but it didn't do much else for my skin. Some BB creams made my skin a little softer, some helped to even out the color of my skin and some helped to keep my skin from looking oily or gave it more of a matte look. Unfortunately the Urban Decay BB cream did not do any of those. Again, based on my experience with Urban Decay, they usually hit a home run with most of their products but this was a dud. Sorry but at the very least, I'd wait to buy a full size of this until they offer more colors.

if the pic came through, you can see that i have fair coloring with more than a hint of pink; my pores aren't really big, but they can be noticeable if i don't do my clay mask every night. reading all the reviews, i was soooo excited to try this - anything to make my pores smaller and even out my skin tone. but... this stuff actually made my pores look BIGGER. it also makes my peaches-n-cream complexion look dull and dead and orangey. as a primer, it struck out, too - even with my naked liquid foundation on over it, my pores were noticeable and so was the orange tint. it was so bad i had to wash everything off and start again. just the naked liquid foundation is enough for me. i thought maybe i would just put the balm on at night to see if i could reap the repair benefits, but this stuff just sinks into my pores and clogs them up horrendously - something the naked liquid foundation DOESN'T do. sorry, ud, but this was a strike-out with me all around.

massive allergic reaction
I have sensitive skin, so I'm picky about what I choose to put on it, but I've never, ever had a problem with Urban Decay products. I tried this earlier and had the worst allergic reaction that I've had in years. So just be careful.

Not what I expected at all
When I received this as a sample in my last order, I was hoping to be amazed. I've been looking for a beauty balm to simplify my morning routine and make my skin look great - unfortunately this was not it. The colour was quite orange, and therefore it did not work for my fair skin at all. It offered minimum coverage, and all my redness was still quite visible - with a slight orange tint. I know beauty balm can't take the place of proper foundation and concealer - but with no skin tone option, this couldn't even work for a "natural look". Sorry UD, but quite disappointed with this one.

Want perfect skin? You got it.
This product has changed my life. I used to wear the heaviest coverage I could find because of my freckles. This makes me look glowy and healthy, which is hard since my skin is so dry. It doesn't budge when I sweat at work even! I've tried many other BB creams, but this, this just takes the cake.

Naked Skin Indeed!
I really enjoyed this product. I personally have really good skin, just your normal blemishes here and there. I've been looking for a product that just enhances the color of my skin and just gives it a more polished look with out having that "foundation" face on. I found it! I love this product and I definitely will purchase it. It looks good and it feels good. I didn't use a powder to set it and by the end of the day it wasn't shiny by any means. It evened out my color and just made my face look brighter.
During the winter/colder days, I tend to get dryness around my mouth and nose area and with some foundations those areas tend to feel dry and look greyish, but with the Naked Skin it cancelled the gray out and it really did feel good on the skin. Also, there are those times where I'm too tired and just too lazy to remove my make-up ( I know! Bad habits :x ) and usually with other foundations, my face looks oily, worn, and just a mess the next day but with this I really felt like I had nothing on. Like it just dissolved over night.
I definitely recommend it.
( sorry for the long review -_- )

Very nice on mature skin
When I first saw the color in the sample size, I thought it wouldn't work on my fair skin, but it blended in beautifully with absolutely no 'mask' effect along my jawline. I wouldn't say this covers any blemishes or other flaws, but it really does make my skin look better and it doesn't settle in to my fine wrinkles. I feel perfectly comfortable leaving the house with nothing more than this on my face. It works well as a primer with both the Naked foundation and with other brands. I'm a believer!

Disappointment in a tube
I wanted to love this so badly. Naked Skin is my HG foundation so when I found out that UD was debuting a BB, I was thrilled. Unfortunately the colour is too dark and orange for my skin (I wear 0.5 in the foundation) and I look like I'm wearing some sort of mask when I applied it. It felt nice on application, but even through the distracting fake tan-esque mask I could still see quite a few flaws that I don't even consider using concealer on with other brands of BB. The redness on my cheeks was still very visible. It felt nice smoothing it on, almost like a silicon based primer.

Great Product
This product is fantastic to wear it in an everyday basis. Is good to the skin and it those not leaves your face cakei. It gives a natural look, smoothes your skin, while it protecting it of the sun. I do recommend this product to my friends and family.

Even my Mom says my skin looked different...better she says! =) I cant wait to see the results the more I use it cause so far I love the results...I will come back and leave another review in another few weeks! I cant wait till it comes out net year! I will definitely buy this!

i'm sorry but this was not for me
i'm sorry but this was not for me. i wanted to like it so bad. it did glide on smoothly and made my skin feel very soft. it didn't have much coverage so i still needed a foundation on top but the reason i did not like it was because this made me break out like crazy! i have combo breakout prone skin and i regret to say my face did not care for this product.

LOVE!
I was pretty shocked to be one of the exclusive ipsy subscribers to receive a mini sample of the beauty balm from UD. I have always wanted to try new products from UD and this is actually my 2nd product ever from UD. I absolutely loveeeeeeeeee how light it is on the skin and i love the fact that it does cover and even out my skin. i love bb creams and this one i'm so excited to come out! i am a beauty youtuber and i'd love to do a review on this one! this product did a great job at what it's supposed to do and it also allowed my skin to breathe and be comfortable. thank you ipsy and urban decay for supplying me with the beauty balm. i absolutely loved it and i highly recommend this for all bb cream lovers. :)

Needs improving, especially with the color
I received this as a sample and was not impressed. I was surprised since I generally love all things Urban Decay. I have fair skin and this was way too dark for me. I was surprised to find that it only is sold in 1 color, a very middle of the road medium to dark. I put it on anyway to try it and it was definitely too dark.
I really like that this BB cream has sunscreen in it (sunscreen is very important to use as part of your daily routine) so that was a definite plus but it didn't do much else for my skin. Some BB creams made my skin a little softer, some helped to even out the color of my skin and some helped to keep my skin from looking oily or gave it more of a matte look. Unfortunately the Urban Decay BB cream did not do any of those. Again, based on my experience with Urban Decay, they usually hit a home run with most of their products but this was a dud. Sorry but at the very least, I'd wait to buy a full size of this until they offer more colors.
