Sugar Ace of Face Foundation Sticks Review, Swatches, Demo, Wear Test

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics has launched their new Ace of Face Foundation Sticks today. I have two shades with me and I have done a quick review, swatch and wear test video.

Claims: Make dreamy skin a reality in one simple step with the SUGAR Ace Of Face Foundation Stick. Lightweight, creamy and beyond easy to blend, its long-wearing formula offers coverage that not just looks but also feels like second skin. This handy stick blurs away enlarged pores, fine lines, dark circles, blemishes and more… so there’s really no excuse left for you to flaunt anything less than picture-perfect skin. Get ready to make a permanent place in your makeup bag for this magic wonder and score sheer-to-full coverage without looking cakey every single time!

How to Apply: Designed to be applied on the go, cut short your routine and pop this in to your everyday handbag. Stripe it on your T-zone, underneath your eyes, your chin and follow up by blending it outward with the built-in brush. Apply directly from the stick onto your complexion and build coverage as needed. The luxurious brush-end is specially handy for buffing the product out and touching up uneven spots. Use it all over to even out your complexion or use it as a touch-up tool by applying a dab or two to problem areas.

Benefits: A little goes a long way with this foundation stick – thanks to its unusually high pigmentation. The full-coverage, waterproof formula offers a totally matte finish that lasts for up to 12 hours. Weightless when applied, the handy built-in brush makes it uber-easy to blend the product in or touch-up spots. Enhanced with moisturizing ingredients, this multipurpose stick can be utilized as a medium-to-full coverage foundation or concealer as needed. This product is dermatologically tested & approved and 100% safe for your skin.

To start with the packaging, this has to be the most convenient packaging in a foundation, it comes with a built in buffing brush! You can literally use it on the go. Carry in your bag for after office parties, if you don’t wear foundation on a daily basis or just travel with this one foundation. No need to carry a separate foundation brush, concealer brush or beauty blender. The brush is really dense and nice and blends everything really well. I wish it was a little longer though, but yes cleaning and drying is definitely required. I hope the bristles don’t come off post washing, I will update you guys on that.

The packaging overall is also quite sturdy and not flimsy. Nykaa stick foundation packaging was very flimsy and felt like the whole foundation part would come off.

Texture wise, it is super creamy and highly pigmented. You need very little qty, and this 12g would last you really long! I didn’t know it was this pigmented or I would have used half. But I literally just touched the stick on my face.

It even fills in the pores and makes skin look super smooth. It feels very comfortable and light weight on the skin.

I would recommend applying a bit and blending it first and then adding on areas which you feel need little more coverage, coz a little goes a long way with this.

Hourglass stick foundation is 7g and this is 12g, I really like the quantity. It is made in Korea and the quality is definitely very good. The shade range is good too, they do cover light and deep skin tones, they can add 2 more though.

The finish is semi matte and it gives a soft, dewy look. You can powder your face on some areas if you have dry skin, oily skin will definitely need to powder.

I wore it for 7+ hours without any powder touch up and it lasted pretty well. It did crease below eyes and faded a little on the corners of nose and on smile lines, but that is with pretty much any foundation, if you don’t touch up 7 hours.

The shade 02 Galao is described as light medium shade with golden undertone and 03 Chococcino is described as a medium shade with warm undertone.

I use Galao on the centre part of face and Chococcino on the outer perimeters of face, jawline and neck. The combination of both shades works pretty well for me, though 03 alone works too with a separate highlighting concealer under eyes.

Overall, I would say I absolutely love this stick foundation and highly recommend it! The only base I am carrying for my next travel for sure 😀

New Sugar Cosmetics Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks Review, Swatches

New Sugar Cosmetics Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics is back with a new launch, this time creme lipsticks. The classic old lipstick formula, these ones are super creamy and buttery. More like butter than cream, literally 😀

Claims: If you want the best of both worlds and love to have it all, then the SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick is made just for you! Intensely pigmented and long-wearing with a baby-soft finish, its creamy texture effortlessly straddles the line between glossy and matte for an easy, everyday look.

How to Apply: Starting from the center of your upper lip, gently slide the lipstick outward towards the corners while paying attention to fill in the arches carefully.

The packaging is exactly like the It’s a Pout Time Vivid Lipsticks. The same black rectangular packaging and the same qty, price is INR 100 less compared to that.

The lipsticks are launched in 5 shades for now, but I am sure they will add more in the future. The formula as I mentioned is super buttery, they melt while applying, so do not swirl up the bullet much, just stay to the tip.

They are not transfer proof, they do transfer a lot but do not vanish from the lips. They are quite pigmented and stay for around 3-4 hours, after which there is fading. But the deeper shades do leave a nice stain behind.

These are very moisturizing and comfortable on the lips, easy to apply, and do not bleed or feather. They are very easy to take off too, unlike matte liquid lipsticks, which are drying and uncomfortable and sometimes peel off the top layer of lips.

L-R: Subtle Island, Dial M for Magenta, The Brown Ultimatum, Revolutionary Rose, Berry Maguire

Subtle Island is described as Muted Brownish Pink. It’s an everyday wear MLBB shade for fair to medium skintones.

Dial M for Magenta is a deep magenta purple. Again a nice purple pink, would work for all skintones.

The Brown Ultimatum is a nude brown, for fair to medium skintones

Revolutionary Rose is a rosy pink, would work for all skintones. My favourite out of the lot.

Berry Maguire is a deep berry red, a nice muted berry, would work for all skintones.

Here are the swatches on me..

I hope you liked the post, do let me know your favourites in the comments below. I believe one shade option would be available in the next Fab Bag 🙂 Guessing for now :p

So I received this Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon last week, I have tried their Eye Told You So Eyeliner before which was a part of Fab Bag and quite liked it. Matte Lip Crayons are all the rage right now and I am glad they have come up with these and some interesting 4 shades. I have a lot of reds and pinks in Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tint and Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms, so I wanted to go for either nude or wine. Since it is fall/winter already which is perfect for deep burgundy/wine/berry shades, I went with Poison Ivy which is a beautiful berry wine shade.

It comes in this black fat crayon packaging with the base matching the shade. Sadly it is not retractable and one has has to sharpen it which leads to quite a lot of product wastage. Other than that, it is quite travel friendly.

Coming to the texture, it is very, very creamy and buttery. It glides on easily on the lips but that also means it does bleed and go out of the lines easily, so one has to be careful while applying. It is very pigmented and covers the entire lip well in 2 swipes.

It is on the creamier side and not completely matte, even after some time, you won’t see or feel a complete matte finish. It is not transfer proof and transfers a lot on cups, bottles, etc.

Staying power is ok, it stays for 4-5 hours without eating or drinking, but just 2-3 hours if you eat or drink and will fade and transfer while eating or drinking.

It does feel very light and comfortable on the lips. It is quite moisturising and will work on dry lips too, quite forgiving.

Poison Ivy is a beautiful wine/berry shade and perfect for this season, definitely a unique shade and not that other brands have in this category.

Price wise it is definitely priced higher. At 800, it is more expensive than Lakme too which is priced at 650 and offers 3.5g. I have not sharpened it yet, so not sure how long this would last, the qty is reasonable.

Overall I would say I am not very happy with the staying power and transferring, though these are moisturising and light. Also these are priced higher than other brands in this category and the qty too is lesser than them. But what Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon has, are two shades nude and wine i.e.Holly Golightly and Poison Ivy which other brands do not. So if you want a matte nude and/or wine lip crayon, I would suggest checking this out. For reds or pinks, I would suggest other brands. But if you have dry lips and are looking for matte yet creamy and moisturising lip crayon, then go for this.

You can buy it from their own website HERE or on the Fab Bag website HERE.
