Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

I was really excited to trial this product as I've been incredibly curious about the increasing number of products available that claim to match a range of skin tones.

I figured seeing as I'm a neutral palette and a fairly standard shade (mid tone in summer, down a couple shades in winter) I should be pretty easy to match. Boy was I wrong!

This bb cream pulled very orange on me, and ultimately sat about 3 shades darker than my winter tone (so I'm guessing about 1 shade darker than my summer tone). I'll be interested to see if it's a better match in summer or if it goes darker again, but the whole point was for it to match me which it definitely didn't deliver on.

The finish was nice, very natural, although to the point of not covering any but the absolute slightest blemishes - a little more coverage would be welcome.

The application left a little to be desired, too. My favourite thing about bb creams is being able to smear it on with fingers quickly and pretty haphazardly while running out the door, which you can't do with this - applying it too quickly or vigorously makes the product pill under your fingers which looks and feels awful.

Overall, a definite miss for me.

I usually don’t mind a cheap garnier bb cream but sadly I didn’t love this one. It was cheap and readily available which I like as can grab at most supermarkets or the warehouse etc.. but I won’t be doing that again.

I have had luck with garnier so wasn’t too worried but this looks terrible on the skin and the formula itself isn’t that nice to apply. It’s sad as being a bb cream I want easy and quick application. I usually wear a bb every day so to get lumped with this was a shame.

I am having to try and find inventive ways to mix and use it up but I have given up and biffed this one. Usually I mix with a sunscreen but it’s proving too hard as the cream itself doesn’t mix well with the sunscreen.

It left my skin cakey with that I’m wearing lots of make up look which isn’t what I’m after.. a bb cream should be quite flawless and natural this isn’t that so it’s a formula I wouldn’t purchase again. As I was applying it was rolling up and rubbing off under my fingers rather than seamlessly blending in and it gave me a lot of patches giving my skin the orange look.

Sadly I wouldn’t purchase this formula again but I have had luck with some of their other bb creams so not all is lost.

I was excited to try this bb cream as I stopped using bb cream a few years ago .I have to say was not impressed. Tried to do an extra layer and it went clumpy. Didnt have as much coverage as I would have liked either .might be because of the sunscreen. Would not buy again

So the packaging was similar to other Garnier products I have used. I really liked the size of the tube and thought how great it would be to pop into my handbag. Upon squeezing out the first sample..it smelled great! Was a little odd that it was white bit when I rubbed it between my fingers I could see the colour developing. Now my face...it felt a little more greasy than I expected and didn’t really give me any coverage all my redness and blemishes were still clearly visible. The instructions said to try another coat for more coverage so I did and while the coverage was a little better, my face now felt very heavy. The moisturiser worked well and my skin was well hydrated all day if not a little too much. Conclusion In all I like the idea of the product but I didn’t feel it delivered what I wanted from it. I don’t think i’ll be purchasing it in the future as I think therebare better options on the market already.

I was so excited when I read the word Garnier BB cream nude. The excitement was short lived this is unfortunately just too orange for my skin even with all the blending in the world. I was disappointed as the formula has supposedly been developed with micro-pigments to match your skin tone upon application. The product comes in a easy to use squeezy tube. The cream is initially white and then changing colour once applied. I really liked the creamy thick texture it felt nice and moisturisng going on but I couldn't wear it for very long.

This BB cream had a really nice smell and lovely consistency on the skin, it didn't feel too sticky straight after applying and I liked that it was very sheer and water based for these hot summers. I think this BB cream would be great for wearing at the beach when you want something light on your skin. I loved that it was SPF as well. I also loved that you could apply this onto your face without the use of makeup brushes. However, there were some cons for me with this BB cream. I didn't like how it was white out of the tube and then changed color onto the skin because I couldn't really see where I was putting it. This BB cream also went orange on my light-medium skintone and got into my hairline and eyebrows. It also made my eyes sting like crazy, I'm not sure why as I've never had this before, perhaps a allergic reaction??? After wearing it for a full day my face did go quite oily

I love BB creams. I use them pretty much every day because of the light consistency. I was excited to be picked for this trial but unfortunately I feel a bit underwhelmed with the product.

I have very pale skin and when I put this product on my face it immediately went bright orange. I had to blend and blend, essentially blending it to nothing to try to get rid of the orange colour but the colour still managed to get into my hair line and eyebrows. I also found that this product grabbed a bit to my dry skin patches which is strange for a BB cream.

The product does feel light on the skin and does give the skin a bit of a glow which is nice. The smell is not offensive and the consistency is good, not too oily.

I would consider this product as having very minimal coverage as I had to blend it to essentially no coverage to get ride of most of the orange tinge.

I'm going to keep trying this product to see if there's a way I can make it work better for me. I'm curious if adding moisturiser of shade adjusting drops would make it better for my skin tone.

I think I would recommend this product to someone not as pale as me and perhaps not with dry patches.

I received this product in the Top To Toe BBBE box. I was so looking forward to using it as I have had some pleasing results from other brands. So, it comes out white and weirdly turns orange...even though it is for light skin. The texture is nice once it dries. For me, the drying process took so long and made my skin feel quite clammy. I am persevering with this under a lighter foundation and it appears to be a nice base when used like this, however it's just too much effort when a BB cream should be a slap and go kind of product. I won't be repurchasing this item, not until they dropped the orange tone to it.
