Sugar Cosmetics As Nude As It Gets SPF 15 Compact Review

Product Purchased by IMBB

Skin Type: Moderately fair, oily, sensitive

Hello hotties!

The sun is beating down with full force in Mumbai and the humidity is making it worse. My skin is behaving erratically, with excess sebum and sweat production, tanning and dullness. Staying in a hostel doesn’t give you enough opportunities to use “tried and tested” home remedies, so I have to rely on products to sail through the season. I am a huge fan of Sugar Cosmetics and when I spotted their new launch – “a compact with SPF,” I knew I had to get it. And thanks to IMBB for fulfilling my wishes. Let’s get into the review of Sugar Cosmetics As Nude As It Gets SPF 15 Compact.

My Experience with Sugar Cosmetics As Nude As It Gets SPF 15 Compact:

Packaging:  Ah! The packaging is a welcome change from the regular but boring round compact cases. The s*xy black square compact case screams elegance. It has a matte finish and has significant weight, which makes it quite different from the regular drugstore compact packaging. It shuts with a click and comes enclosed in a cardboard box with the typical Sugar graphical prints. However, you need to apply some force in opening it (long nails, beware!)

The compact comes in three shades to suit the Indian skin tones:
• 01 Latte (Light)
• 02 Cappuccino (Light-Medium)
• 03 Macchiato (Medium)

I picked up “Latte” for my moderately fair skin, which suits my complexion. If you think this is a coverage compact, skip this! This gives sheer to medium coverage at max, hence Sugar calls it “As n*de as it gets.” Apply a concealer or foundation to even out your skin and use this to set your base. It blends into my skin, mattifies it and gives a fresh natural look, but again, I am not bowled over by it!

I have used many brands from Lakme 9 to 5 compact, Maybelline compacts (White Superfresh, Fit Me) to Faces and Deborah– I didn’t find this something worth going gaga over. It doesn’t have any effect on my pores.

The sponge puff is okay and helps in blending, but it could have been softer to help in a more flawless comfortable look. It has SPF 15, so it gives additional protection. For Indian summers, if you sweat like crazy, this compact will be effective for a couple or three hours. If you don’t face humidity, it gives a matte, shine-free look. I get matte look for 4.5 hours after which, my nose area starts to get oily.

If you are a Sugar Cosmetics fan, and have flawless skin, you might like it. It mattifies skin and sets your makeup. But if you like better coverage, you would rather choose some other brand.
