This CC cream is matte type. The texture is really souffle-bouncy cream. Once blended on skin, it showed glitters. That's why it's also good as a stand-alone powder with glitter, something similar to Etude House Secret Beam Powder Pact. I bought from a seller, so that price is not fixed.
I like the matte finish, but not so for its glittery result. Within minutes, the glitter will disappeared but still left some, though. It has low coverage, but quite good, similar to a powder pact. Its matte finish is quite strange, because I feel my skin is softer by it, like a velvet. For CC cream, I think the result it gave me is pretty good. I can wear it alone or topped it with powder. I would like it more if not for its glitter. I might purchase its other type, which is Smooth Type. Staying power is good. Their new product is a Cheek & Lip cream for blusher & lips.
Pink bright range like it's name brightens up your overall complexion and it's suitable for people who has dull skin but more pinkish hue meanwhile their default smooth range fits those with a fair yellow undertone [typical Asian skin tone].
It's definitely a good product to have at hand that is IF you have decent skin condition to begin with, when i had flaky skin and breakouts due to hormonal imbalance, using their Airfit CC cream was practically useless without the help of concealer and press powder to cover up my imperfections but as my skin condition improved recently since i switched back to all natural skincare products using this CC cream turn out pretty well on my skin, it came to a point where i was using it everyday since i moved to Japan that a usual tube that takes me up to 6 months to finish [depends on my mood and skin condition] can easily be squeezed dry within 2 months. 2 months usage for a product worth 1500 yen, seems like a reasonable expenditure.
Another best selling product of Sugao is their Souffle blusher which can be used for both cheeks and lips, color intensity is build-able and it gives off a very natural blush finishing.
If you are the type that likes intense cheek color then the blusher might not be up your alley unless you finish it off on top with a powder blusher. This is my to go blusher for daily look so i don't look so pale when i go do my grocery shopping duties, usually i'll just dab on 2 small dots on the apples of my cheeks and blend them in a circular motion till they are even out. Always apply them BEFORE finishing powder or you'll gonna have a patchy problem once it's mixed in with the powder.
For lips as long you have lip balm before applying it on, it won't highlight your lip wrinkles
One tub goes a long way, it's been 5 months since i opened mine and till today it's still at 80% lol,
lasting power is definitely there because i never had to touch up unless i accidentally rub my face too hard. Also maybe because i have too many blushers to rotate and use [blusher addict!] or else it gets neglected and soon the bin after 12 months!
Available in 3 shades, not a big fan of pink because it makes me look like barbie instead of a normal person lol. Orange gives me a natural blush while the red gives me a more sexier [matured] looking blush.
I'm not a fan of their translucent powder though as it seems to highlight my pores even more making it look like a moon crater, it does help with the sebum control just don't like the finishing that doesn't melt in, might need those finishing face spray/mist for this i guess. Comparing this to the althea velvet powder, Sugao definitely lost.
Maybe because my skin isn't all that oily to begin with as i'm combination [only T-zone oily], who knows it might work better for those with oily skin type?
Lip tints, can be also used for cheeks if you don't want to bring out too many products for touch ups, blends well for me on non powdered skin. Make sure to only use it on moisturized lips or else it will enhance the dryness and sometimes cause even more flaking [tint dropping off as it can't stick on your lips]. It's not as long lasting as the other tints i have because after a drink or a meal i'll need to touch up. Not a product i would highlight from their range, colors are pretty no doubt and just the right amount if intensity for a natural lip finishing.
I only use the lip tints to create a gradient effect as it sits well in the inner corner of my lips [most moisturized area]
What does pink CC cream do?
Infused with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin E, CC cream provides hydration while instantly camouflaging the look of skin imperfections like acne scarring, wrinkles, redness on skin, dark circles under eyes, large pores and uneven skin tone for flawless-looking natural coverage!
Does CC cream brighten skin?
CC stands for "colour correction" and that's exactly what CC creams are designed to do. They can help to even out your skin tone, reduce the appearance of redness or discolouration, and brighten your complexion. This is especially beneficial if you have issues with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or dullness.
Is CC cream lighter or darker?
For everyday makeup application, BB and CC creams are the way to go without adding a full mask on your face. You should also make sure to "use a shade up and darker than you're used to," suggests Robinette. "The lighter color will highlight the areas that you want to cover, while the darker will offer coverage."
Is CC cream any good?
BB creams and CC creams are best if you find foundations to be too heavy or are looking for a formula with added skin benefits. Both these categories generally lean lightweight, and depending on the formula, you can get the benefits of SPF, antioxidant protection, and/or color correction in a single product.
