40NY worked best for me but I might be a bit tan right now and maybe I’ll change my mind and end up liking the shade when I lose my Summer glow. It immediately brightens up my eye area but again, the color range I choose seems a bit pasty. It blends fairly well but as I said you need a nice hydrating base to achieve that. It sort of lays on top of finer liners which is a rather awesome effect as it’s not creasing into them and actually sort of concealing them. It has a very natural finish that didn’t automatically slide into my finer lines. It’s a lot creamier in texture compared to Tarte Shape Tape and a bit less matte and drying. It’s not that the formula is dry it’s just very thick and does require some hydration to slide across eyes a bit better do to the thicker texture. I use Goodal Moisture Barrier Eye Cream prior to application as it’s super hydrating and creates a nice hydrating barrier around my eye to allow the concealer to blend out easily. I like this formula a lot but I do think it requires good prepping before application meaning a hydrating and even plumping eye cream goes a long way to create a smooth canvas and a more blendable surface for your concealer to adhere to. None the less, this didn’t prevent me from using and wearing them to test out for this review. 40NY I thought would be better but the golden undertone seems wrong! It feels more like a light beige undertone. For some reason, all three of these are just too light. I use Tarte Shape Tape in Light Medium Neutral for reference. Typically light medium concealers with warmer or neutral undertones work great for me. I do wonder if I should try 50NN which is a medium neutral with a neutral undertone but it looks way too dark in UD’s swatches. Both were way too pasty for me which led me to purchase 40NY light-medium neutral with a golden undertone. Urban Decay sent me two press sample shades to use in 40NN which is described as a light-medium neutral with a neutral undertone and 40CP which is a light-medium cool with a rosy undertone. It’s 0.35 oz for $30 each and there are also Stay Naked Pro Customizer shades available in white and red that act to lighten, darker, or correct shades. It’s available in 26 shades and arrives in a square barrel with a flexible wave sponge applicator that allows for heavier or lighter application. Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer launched very recently along with a new Stay Naked Foundation. Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer isn’t a love either but it is a very strong like. Have you met an Urban Decay concealer you can’t live without? I can’t say I have. I just don’t think they excel at concealer formulas. As far as I’m concerned the concealers that UD has released up until now have been ok but not keepers for me. I have not met an Urban Decay concealer that I’ve fallen in love with. Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer ($29) is a new lightweight concealer that promises full-coverage with a matte finish and a second skin-like feel that wears long and strong without creasing.
