Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I received this item in the lightest shade. It is safe to say this isn't light enough for my skin tone. It also has an orangey tinge to it which meant that it didn't suit my skin tone at all and it was quite obvious as I am very pale. The consistency was very runny which made blending it pretty easy and quick. The coverage wasn't too bad. It did help to conceal some blemishes but it was thin enough that you could still see subtle freckles which cover my face. I used a concealer that is perfect for my skin tone for correcting blemishes and as the base was orangey, it was really noticeable where my concealer was even with a lot of buffing. Its staying power was better than I expected. I used a translucent powder over top. It did get a little cakey when layered with other products. It also made things like blush and contouring really obvious so I had to start over using less products because it became a mess.

I liked the consistency of this cream, it was not thick and gluggy and was easy to apply..it spread evenly and didn't feel like it was clogging up my pores. I have combination skin and I found that it was good at evening out my skin colour tone. I found it effective in covering blemishes and will continue to use it There was no fragrance as such and this was good for those sensitive to "smells" It spread well and you didn't need to use a lot at one time

More than happy to recommend to others

9. Results - after using the product as specified does it do what it claims? What results did you see?

10. What skin/hair type you have - how does the product work for this? Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

11. Would you recommend it - A great way to sum up a review is to ask yourself, "Would I recommend it to a friend?"

I was pleasantly surprised with this product. Packaging is nice and easy to use with a squeeze bottle. Product is very runny so you have to be careful you don't pore out half the bottle as you can put it back in. Feels like a thick moisturizer. I really liked the feel of it. I expected it to feel really thick but went on smoothly. I basically used my hands and applied as I do with moisturizer as I just wear bb on the weekends. I found that the shade was too light for the skin tone however the dark is too dark so they don't have shades to suit everyone. Coverage was really good and I was able to build up to give more coverage. I used a powder over top and it lasted all day. I even went to the gym and my face wasn't looking too shiny when I finished. I usually prefer a full coverage foundation during the day however this is great for the weekend and going away on holiday. Stayed on most of the day and definitely didn't make me oily.

I've read and searched for a good BB cream and I was using the L’Oreal Youth before using this one because of some bad reviews I've been reading about it but I was really happy to test this product! For me, Garnier was so much better!! It's a bit runny but it covers well after applied. Tube size and dimensions are good (don’t get to much space against the L’Oreal one), but for what I've seen, I wasn't the only one having problems with its runny top if you open it upside down - messy!!! - it can spill really easily. I used a sponge to apply it during the last week (used it every day and the results are only getting better) and a 2.5cm stripe on the sponge it is enough to cover everything. My color was medium and it was just right for my skin, not making it look fake. The smell it's not sweet or unpleasant, but it's not the best - it's like and average unbranded foundation you would buy.

Having the SPF 15 makes it helpful because you don’t have to worry about adding sunscreen under the BB and make it weight more. It didn’t clog my pores, moisturized it and gave the matte finish it promised. Although I only put it in the morning, it lasts for good 5-7 hours if I’m not under stress.

For an average of $15 to $20, I would totally buy it again.

3. Write your review covering the following areas:

Skin Type - My Skin type is oily/combination. The product I was sent was full sized and the label said it was for oily to combination skin. Unfortunately, I found after only a couple of hours (with and without primer) it melted off and I became super shiny! Not good considering it's not summer, and summer time is usually the time I opt for BB cream over my normal foundation. Consistency - The consistency was very very runny, liquidy. I got it everywhere the first time I used it. While I liked that it was light weight, it was abit too liquidy. Application - It was alright to apply, as long as you don't squeeze the tube on your face (which I'm sometimes guilty of) and use a beauty blender. Otherwise, using fingers or a stipple brush seemed almost impossible for an even, decent coverage/finish. Fragrance - It doesn't have a strong smell. It doesn't smell like much at all. Coverage - This is a super, super light coverage. It does minimise pores and cover a bit of redness and uneven skin tone. Super ideal for young teenagers and young skin. Longevity - Again, it didn't last long on me at all. Barely two or three hours. And I was not doing alot during the cold winter week. Price - Compared the the Maybelline BB cream, this simply does not stack up for me. I would not buy this product, it simply would be a waste. Packaging - The packaging was certainly nothing special. Very clean, but also boring and a bit outdated compared to other products. Results - Overall, I didn't enjoy this product very much. It didn't do anything for my skin, and didn't last long. Could only possibly use it under foundation for a fuller coverage rather than on it's own. Would you recommend it - I would not reccomend this to anyone in my age group 18-20. It is definetely more suitable for the age bracket 13-16.

This BB cream product is awesome. It evens out skin tone, redness etc. I have been using this product as a replacement to my foundation as the coverage is amazing. It is also a really good base for foundation as it evens skin tone and redness prior to foundation for a flawless finish. This product is quite watery and runny and a little goes a long way. It is very easy to blend and buff into skin. It states on the box that if 2 layers are applied then it gives a fuller and matte coverage which I believe is true. I applied this with a stippling brush or my hands but i found with the brush I got a better coverage and it lasted longer.The product does last all day. I have trialled the product for a week and I have not even made a dent on the amount that is left in the bottle. I would reccomend this product. I have actually already reccomended this product.

I found this BB cream to be a light, medium-full coverage and an excellent day makeup. My skin is slightly oily and my makeup tends to become very dewy (especially at work in a hot kitchen) but I found this product to be extremely durable under these conditions and my skin looks just as good at the end of the day. Thank you for the sample and I will definitely repurchase in the future :)

I have tried quite a few bb creams and I will admit garnier miracle skin perfector is by far the best yet. Not only did it give me more coverage than the rest it felt light so I didn't feel caked with make up . The other thing I like is how natural it looks and it lasts all day. So if you wanting a nice natural look with great coverage then Garnier miracle skin perfecter is the one to use.

This BB cream is great and really did live up to the hype. I have used this in replacement of foundation and was great for work. I felt the product itself was quite runny, but when on the skin, it spreaded out well. I have a lot of redness in my cheeks and use a double layer of the BB cream and it completely concealed it. When used alone, it lasts well into the day, however did tend to wear off a wee bit on the nose. When used with a primer it lasted all day. I also tried it as a base under a full face of foundation for a night out and it definitely created a smooth finish and stood the test of time. The cream leaves your skin feeling soft and smoother and from using it for two weeks, I've already noticed it does help the appearance of pores. It is a big sized tube and even though I have been using 2 layers of the cream each day, a little goes a long way. It's awesome how buildable it is, without feeling heavy or cakey on my face- sometimes I forget I am wearing it. My only negative would be that in some light I felt the medium shade did look a little orangey. I love this product, will continue to use it and confidently recommended it to others.

When I first recieved the product I thought the packaging was appealing and something that would attract me when shopping. Whenever I open the tube the product leaks out so have to be careful to hold it up when opening. For a BB cream it is quite heavy and doesnt have the sheer look most BB creams do but it does absorp the oil really well and leave a matte look which I really liked. I have noticed since using the product my skin is less oily in general which is what it said it would do.
