Which is better for oily or humid weather?

The Urban Decay Stay Naked. It is waterproof and sweatproof with a matte finish, while the Maybelline Dream Satin is a standard liquid with a satin glow and no water-resistance claim.

Which gives more coverage?

The Maybelline Dream Satin, which is full coverage. The Urban Decay builds from light to medium, so you need more layers for a full-coverage look.

Which is better for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The Maybelline Dream Satin. It is marketed for sensitive skin and is non-comedogenic; the Urban Decay does not carry either claim and contains dimethicone.

Is the Urban Decay worth the extra money?

If you need waterproof, sweatproof wear and pore blurring, yes. If you mainly want full coverage and a natural finish, the Maybelline does that for less.

No. The Urban Decay lists SPF 0 and the Maybelline states no SPF, so wear a separate sunscreen underneath.

How do the sizes compare?

They are close. The Urban Decay is 30 ml and the Maybelline is 1 fl oz, which is about 30 ml.

Urban Decay Stay Naked Foundation vs Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation

On price, the Maybelline is the cheaper buy; the Urban Decay costs more for its transfer-resistant, weightless formula.
