The [Face Bond](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-dunk) Self-Setting Waterproof Foundation is the latest base makeup release from [Urban Decay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-bond-range) and is a [weightless, buildable product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinplumping-linesmoothing-foundation) designed for hot summers with a waterproof and non-transferable finish. This foundation contains niacinamide which "has been clinically tested to improve skin's texture feel after 4 weeks of use."

The application is watery and thin, drying down to a matte finish that locks in and is immovable courtesy of the setting powders composed in the formula and can be worn up to 24 hours. In addition to these features, Urban Decay has made the foundation available in a wide range of 40 shades and specific shades for olive skin tones, developing the Face Bond foundation with 'Chromium Oxide Green pigment' to provide consumers with more precise colors for a natural look.
