Key Ingredients

3% Niacinamide: Face Bond is formulated with 3% niacinamide and offers the skincare benefits of a serum. Urban Decay states that the formula has been clinically tested to improve how skin texture feels after four weeks of daily use.

Spherical Setting Powders: Built into the formula to help absorb sweat and oil while allowing the foundation to self-set for a natural-looking matte finish.

Certain olive-toned shades also feature Chromium Oxide Green pigments specifically designed for olive undertones.

How to Use

Make sure the skin is properly moisturised and allow skincare products enough time to absorb before applying foundation.

For a natural, skin-like finish, apply one drop to the skin and blend outwards using a damp beauty sponge.

For more buildable coverage, apply one drop to the skin and distribute evenly using a brush with a buffing motion.

For maximum coverage, apply small drops directly to the face and pat into the skin using clean fingers.
