Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator Review

If you love coverage that’s good for your skin, you’re in the right place! The Urban Decay Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator, also known as a tinted moisturizer, gives you beautiful coverage with the added benefit of skincare ingredients that moisturize your face throughout the day.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know I love coverage that’s good for you. Some of my favorite skincare foundations and tinted moisturizers are the Armani Neo Nude and the Kosas Revealer Foundation. Continue reading this review to find out how the Urban Decay Tinted Hydrator compares and if it’s worth investing in.

Urban Decay Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator

The Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator provides medium, long-wearing coverage with up to 24 hours of hydration. The buildable formula creates a flawless base and leaves the skin with a lovely radiant glow.

In addition, the tinted glow helps to blur imperfections and minimise pores. As someone who has large open pores, a foundation that covers them is really important. Urban Decay claims their One & Done Blur On The Run minimizes pores, but I didn’t find that quite so true. I was very curious to see if the Tinted Glow Hydrator does live up to that claim.

One of my favourite features of this tinted glow is that it’s so comfortable to wear. With it being extremely lightweight and natural-looking, you barely notice you’re wearing anything and neither will those around you.

My Honest Review of the Hydromaniac Tinted Moisturizer

As Iโ€™ve mentioned before, I love a good tinted moisturizer, but Iโ€™m also quite picky about them. They need to give decent coverage while keeping my skin hydrated throughout the day. My skin used to be oily, but since my early 30s it has become much drier, so hydrating base products are now an absolute must. I also like my pores blurred and a natural-looking finish.

From the start, I really enjoyed using the Tinted Glow Hydrator. The texture sits somewhere between a foundation and a tinted moisturizer. My usual go-to is the Armani Neo Nude, which is much thinner and feels more like a traditional moisturizer. The Hydromaniac Tinted Glow is slightly thicker, offers more coverage, and lasts longer. However, compared to the Kosas Foundation, it still feels lighter and more hydrating.

My Honest Review of the Hydromaniac Tinted Moisturizer

The Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator applies smoothly and evenly. One of my favourite features is how well it blurs open pores and imperfections. It creates a flawless base that lasts all day. The finish is glowy, though I usually add a bit of setting powder to mattify it slightly.

Itโ€™s worked really well for my dryish skin that still tends to break out. It doesnโ€™t dry out the areas around my nose and mouth, which is impressive. The moisturising ingredients keep my skin hydrated throughout the day without making oily areas look shiny.

Urban Decay markets this tinted hydrator for all skin types, including oily skin. Personally, I think itโ€™s better suited to normal, dry, or dehydrated skin because of the hydrating and glowing finish. Most people with oily skin arenโ€™t usually looking for that extra glow.

Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Shades

The Tinted Glow Hydrator comes in 12 shades, ranging from very fair neutrals to deep warms. It doesn’t come in any cool tones, only warm and neutral. That being said, I’m on the cool-toned side and this hydrator works perfectly for me.

Due to its natural coverage and thin texture, it’s not the biggest deal if it’s not precisely your shade. Simply blend well and it will look one with your skin! If you still have trouble finding the right foundation shade for your skin check out these foundations which have the most inclusive shade ranges!

Urban Decay recommends applying this foundation with your fingers for the best results which, to be honest, is what I usually do anyway!

Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator Swatches

Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator Swatches

I have the second lightest shade called-20 fair with neutral undertones. As you can see from the swatch, it’s highly pigmented. It has a creamy texture which blends beautifully on the skin. The image on the right is once I blended it in, it’s hard to see on the image but it literally melts into the skin giving it a blurring effect.

Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydrator Packaging

The packaging looks like a whole new aesthetic that separates itself from Urban Decayโ€™s recent launches. It has blue and gold packaging which looks a lot like the beach with the sea coming in. Since I bought it, they have updated the packaging, but it’s not all that different.

My Thoughts

The Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator is an exciting release and one of my favorite Urban Decay products! It looks natural, feels natural, yet at the same time gives a solid medium, long-lasting coverage!

While the Armani Neo Nude has a more natural finish and lightweight finish, it doesn’t last as long and doesn’t give a medium coverage. I find I use different base products for different occasions, depending on how long and well I need my makeup to last!
