All Nighter Face Primer

Urban Decay All Nighter Face Primer is the step that decides how long the rest of your face lasts. It smooths and hydrates first, then grips whatever you put on top — Urban Decay says it adds up to eight extra hours to your makeup's staying power. It goes on sheer and silky, so it never reads as a layer.

What it actually does

• Grips foundation in place. The brand's core claim: applied first, it supports your complexion products for up to eight hours longer.
• Smooths the look of skin. It preps the surface so makeup has an even canvas to sit on.
• Hydrates as it preps. Urban Decay describes skin as feeling hydrated after application rather than tight or coated.
• Softens fine lines. The brand says it reduces their appearance and leaves skin feeling slightly lifted.
• Light enough to wear alone. Sheer and silky to the touch — no foundation required for it to make sense.
• Vegan and cruelty-free, per Urban Decay.

How to use

1. Start with clean, moisturised skin. Let your moisturiser absorb first.
2. Smooth it on with fingertips or a brush. Blend outward from the centre of the face so it spreads evenly.
3. Then go in with makeup. Foundation or concealer on top gets the staying-power boost — or skip them and wear the primer solo for smoother, hydrated skin.

Questions

Can I wear it without foundation?

Yes. Urban Decay says it is lightweight enough to wear solo — on its own it smooths the look of skin and leaves it feeling hydrated.

Do I still need moisturiser underneath?

Yes — the brand's own instructions are to apply it over clean, moisturised skin. The primer adds hydration but it is a makeup prep step, not a replacement for your skincare.

How much longer will my makeup actually last?

Urban Decay's figure is up to eight hours of added staying power when the primer goes on first. That is a brand claim, and in practice it depends on your skin, your foundation and the weather.
