Review: Urban Decay Razor Sharp

This winter is definitely dragging and I cannot wait for the spring time, and for someone who loves the cold that says a lot. So I am hoping everyone is staying warm and drinking a ton of tea. Today I am reviewing Urban Decay's Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder. Check it out...














Urban Decay Razor Sharp


Claims: “Designed for stars of film and flat screens, our high-tech translucent powder keeps you camera ready! Skin appears flawless with a stunning, soft-focus effect, even under bright and unforgiving light.”
Pigmentation: “The universal shade suits all skintones, so you're covered for summer and right into winter when your tan has faded. The no-mess component, with attached puff and handy on/off switch, is freeway- and subway-friendly so you can take it anywhere beauty calls.” (They now offer a new powder with a range of shades)
Finish/Texture: This powder has a fine, light, smooth, and silky texture. It never looks chalky or over done.
Longevity: This isn't going to leave you completely matte all day, you will have some mid-day shine but it doesn’t look oily. You will have to touch up if you are concerned about shine.
Packaging: This product has a sponge application that gets in the way. You never know if the product is coming out and it isn’t very hygienic so I just broke it off and used my own sponge or brush to apply.
Price/Availability: $31.00/Urban Decay 
Likes: I love that no matter how much I apply it doesn't look like a threw powder all over my face or adds a heaviness to my makeup. It helps blur anything your foundation or concealer might have missed.
Dislikes: The packaging is a great idea in theory but in practice it’s not functional at all. The product is great but the packaging just kills it.
Overall: I love the product and haven’t had such success with a setting powder in forever. For $31 the products lasts a very long time just remember you’re buying the powder not the packaging. I do think I will be repurchasing it but will want to try the “Naked Skin Ultra Definition Loose Finishing Powder" in the future. 

*Disclaimer- All products have been purchased by me.
