Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20

Hi Dearies,

Today, I am reviewing my new tinted moisturiser from Urban Decay, “Urban Defense Tinted Moisturiser with SPF 20.”

Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20

What Urban Decay Claims about Urban Defense Tinted Moisturiser:

UD Bulletproof

Urban Defense battles free radical damage and arms you with moisture, sheer coverage and SPF 20 in a squeeze tube. A must if you crave a bare, dewy look.  Who says you can’t achieve a luminous, even-toned complexion without full-on foundation? Urban Defense gives you the sort of dewy radiance that usually only comes from a tryst in Fiji. The light-diffusing pigments in this wonder product diffuse the look of fines lines and wrinkles for a natural, youthful finish, while the buildable coverage it offers lets you wear it alone (great for warm weather) or under powder for a more polished look. This paraben and fragrance-free tinted moisturizer contains SPF 20, as well as a multi-mineral complex that battles free radical damage.

As shown in the snap, I bought the one with old packaging.  Right now, its available in a tube.  I have the pump dispenser one 🙂

6 months.

Full Weight: 50ml e 1.69 fl oz.  Comes with a price tag of 30$.  It is available in four shades.

UD Bulletproof

I selected the shade “Bulletproof” as I am medium toned (NC 30-NC 35).  I have read so many reviews about the “Bulletproof” shade as the light medium one.  So, I got this shade.

My Views on Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20:

This is a lightweight tinted moisturiser which evens out the skin tone. It has a dewy finish.  I didn’t notice any fragrance, it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin.  Also, I noticed that my face evened out after application. I think this can be worn alone too if you like it that way.  Its very good to be worn to the office where you need very little makeup.  I really like the shade Bulletproof.  Although, its a medium shade, I like it.

Now, Urban Decay have changed the packaging, but when I ordered it online, I was given the one with old packaging.  I was surprised to see this packaging, but when I searched online, I found that this was the first packaging and later on they changed it, so I was relaxed.

Also, talking about the pump dispenser.  Its not like other pump dispensers.  I hate it because it dispenses too much product in one go.

This product gives a flawless finish and its very natural too 🙂  It doesn’t make my face greasy and it dries out very soon:)

After applying this, I dust my face with translucent powder to set.  To my wonder, it nearly lasted for 6-7 hours on my face which I really liked.

But one thing I noted is the limited shade range.  If you are in the NC30-40 range, I think “Bulletproof” will suit you more than “Bodyguard.”  Bodyguard shade is for people in the NC-25 range.

Halo is the lightest shade.  I have included picture of all the shades to give you all a better idea about the shades. This  product is too pricey.

Pros of Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20:

  • Lightweight and natural tinted moisturiser.
  • Doesn’t irritate my skin.
  • Lasts for 6-7 hours after application.
  • Can be worn instead of a foundation.
  • Doesn’t make my face greasy.
  • Easy to blend and apply (I used my Sigma Synthetic Kabuki F80).
  • Cruelty free.
  • Full list of ingredients mentioned.
  • Does not contain parabens.
  • Shelf life of 6 months.

Cons of Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20:

  • Nonavailability in India.
  • Too pricey.
  • Limited shade range.
  • The pump dispenser is not good (dispenses too much product).  Now, Urban Decay has changed the packaging to tube which is good.  I bought this online from Debenhams, I was given an old one. Later, I found the one with new packaging on their website.

Overall, I liked the product.
