SUGAR BB Cream SPF30+ Review – Latte

BB Creams are fun. They are lightweight, easy to blend, and perfect for everyday minimal makeup look. SUGAR BB Cream comes in total of 7 shades and comes with SPF30+.

The Brand themselves introduced their BB Cream as Lightweight BB Cream for “No Makeup” makeup look and I just wanted to give it a shot. Luckily, I received one in my August Fab Bag in the shade 01 Latte which I picked by myself.

Here I am, sharing my Review and Swatches of SUGAR Goddess of Flawless SPF30+ BB Cream in 01 Latte.

That is really a long intro, to begin with, but that’s the beauty of blogging. You keep getting thoughts and you keep pouring them into your blog through words. I just love it whenever I sit down with my laptop to blog. It is just whole another world to me. Now let us move towards the product details.

SUGAR BB Cream is Available in Total 7 Shades:

• 25 Macchiato (Light Medium)

The BB from SUGAR was initially launched in 4 shades but later they added more shades to their range making it a total of 7 shades. They also renamed their shade names and number to match with their range of foundation, I believe.

Their shade 01 Latte is now 07 Vanilla Latte (Fair)

The shade I picked: 01 Latte

First, I thought it is going to be a bit dark for me but after blending out, it was completely fine. It has slightly pink undertones so it worked for me pretty well.

SUGAR Goddess of Flawless SPF30+ BB Cream Review and Swatches – 01 Latte

My Skin Type: Light/Medium Beige with Pink Undertones. Oily, Sensitive, and Acne-Prone Skin.

Packaging: It comes in a black squeezable tube with a screw cap having a nozzle that controls the flow. I found the packaging super classy, convenient, travel-friendly, and mess-free. It has shade name and expiry date on it so even if you throw the outer packaging, you will have the information. 

Fragrance: There is no fragrance as such even if it is there, it is hardly noticeable. 

Texture, Consistency, and Feel on the Skin

It claims to be lightweight and easy to blend no doubt, it is 100% true. Having a combination to oily skin I enjoy such airy light textures in creams. This BB Cream is so light on my skin that I don’t even feel like I am applying something and yes, it is easy to blend as well. I didn’t face any struggle to massage the product onto my skin. It actually feels like a light mousse texture. I enjoy it.

Because it blends so easily and I don’t need to spend time over it, I am literally picking this over foundation because I am like, “who will wet the blender first then dab it and then blend it” and also having a foundation on the face feels like having something on the face. These days, I am pairing my SUGAR BB Cream with a Concealer, Blush, Highlighter, and Good Eye Makeup, and I am done.

It claims to have that primer effect as well and maybe that’s why it feels soft and smooth while blending it onto the skin.

Blendability

As mentioned above, it blends out really smoothly. It is so lightweight that it glided onto my cheeks and it is mousse-like airy. I loved how easily, softly, and smoothly it blended onto my skin.

Coverage

That is what I love about BB Creams. The “No-Coverage” coverage BB Creams has is just so apt for the “Your Skin but Better” or simply “Natural” kind of look. This BB cream provides light or near to light coverage which doesn’t cover or conceals your blemishes or pimples or redness if any, but slightly blurs and evens the skin out. Because this feels like I am wearing nothing on my skin, I can easily wear this for the whole day. 

If you feel like it, you can easily pair it up with your blush, highlighter, or concealer and set it up with a setting powder. It totally depends on your choice and preference and the look exactly what you have in your mind. That’s the beauty of makeup. Play with it!

Neither Moisturizing nor Drying

It claims to have a weightless moisturizing formula. No doubt, it is weightless but it doesn’t provide any moisturization. I first, applied my moisturizer and massaged it well, and then followed up with this SUGAR BB Cream. At the same time, it isn’t drying. 

If in case you are going through excessive dry patches or flaky skin, it is going to peek through. It won’t make them further dry, but because it ain’t moisturizing, you will still feel that dryness so always moisturize your skin no matter what, before makeup.

Is it Mattifying?

It definitely doesn’t add up any shine, grease, or heaviness but if you have excess shine on your face, it doesn’t mattify it completely. Like it will slightly blur them out, but won’t give any matte effect.

Any Irritation? 

When I first wore this, I was actually going through strong acne-treatment creams which made my skin totally red and delicate and this BB Cream actually gave me that itchy feeling within 20 minutes of application. Not an extreme level of itch, but that minor tingling kind of itch. And I had no clue, why a BB cream is giving me an itchy feeling. Later I realized that it is because of those prescribed acne creams. So, if you know you are going through some strong acne treatments which have made your skin super-sensitive or flaky, you might feel that itch. 

Any Breakouts or Clogged Pores?

I wore SUGAR BB cream regularly for a week or 10 days and surprisingly, I got no breakout. I thought I will be getting clogged pores if I will wear it daily but nope, It worked perfectly fine. So if you are looking for a BB Cream for daily purposes, this one is a great option.

Summing Up

SUGAR Goddess of Flawless SPF30+ BB Cream is a super lightweight, soft, smooth, and easy to blend BB Cream giving light coverage for that “No Makeup” or “Your Skin but Better” kind of look. It doesn’t give any concealing coverage but slightly and nicely evens out and blurs the skin. It has the minimum required SPF which is SPF30+ and can be worn for the whole day. It neither moisturizes nor dries up the skin. It has a primer effect as well and I really liked it.
