This was actually the first bb cream I ever tried, and it almost put me off. I found it was hard to spread evenly at first, though it was easier once warmed. It just looked really artificial and wrong on me lol. The colour was a bit dark (I had the light one as I'm reasonably pale) and it looked like too much liquid foundation, kind of cakey. It acted like liquid foundation too by sliding off my face during the day. My skins just too oily for this.

Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review
***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. FIND THE NEW FORMULATION HER***
All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.
Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.
GARNIER'S new BB Cream, combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin.
The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.
GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.
It has a new active ingredient, Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.
Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish
GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

I found this bb cream a little too sheer for me, I had used another brand previously which provided better cover than this one so was disappointed. I also found the colour wasn't quite right for me which I guess didn't help it's case. It did moisturise well though but did leave me a little shinier than I would like.
I had high hopes for this BB cream because I have heard lots of good things about BB creams in general. The light colour was a good match for my skin. I didn't like the finish of the product on my skin as it was really noticeable that I had something on. I didn't think it covered blemishes up particularly well either. Overall very disappointing.
I found the colour was good in "light". Maybe the reviewers who had trouble with orangeness were using "medium"? I liked the non-greasy effect on most of the face but this was too drying on the undereye area.
This product I found was very orange for my skin tone as I am quite fair, this product also makes my skin looked really caked so it isn't the best product for me
I really like this BB cream. It has a medium but buildable coverage. It is very easy to blend and sits well on my skin. However for me it doesn't really control oil too well and is not extremely long lasting. But this BB cream does seem to adjust slightly to better match my skin tone, which is a little bit lighter than the product.
Tips: For more coverage, apply one layer then wait a few minutes for it to dry. when it's dried/set apply another layer on areas or all over to get full coverage.
My opinion of this BB cream has changed dramatically - initially, I thought it was pretty great but now I'm not so sure. Even in the light shade it has an orange tinge which is awful and needs to be toned down with a powder to look any good. Upon even closer inspection it looks as though it tends to "grab" on to any dry patches and look pretty flakey. Not sure how I missed that in the beginning, I'll put it down to bad lighting or just not paying enough attention. I will try make it work but it shouldn't require that much effort in my opinion.
Tips: Definitely not for fair skin.
I really didn't like this product. I do like G anti ageing BB cream and other products from the G range. When I ran out of my last BB cream it was coming on summer and I figured It would be best to find a BB cream with a sunscreen... I was excited to find this product, produced by a brand I trusted so I brought it.
I brought the medium shade which is not whats in the tube.... It's a chalky pale orange cakey mess after it's applied to my face, nothing at all like their other BB creams. Frankly if I wanted to look like caked up disaster I would have gone for a thick unforgiving foundation. I was so disappointed and needed a change after that so I changed brands and got exactly what I was after for only a couple of $'s more.
Tips: Shop around and try the testers to avoid nasty surprises
I really disliked this BB Cream. The colour 'Light' is not light at all, and dries with a very orange finish. The packaging isn't suitable, as the product is so runny that the tip gets very messy when stored tip down, and too much product is squeezed out. It doesn't provide matte coverage, and doesn't combat shine. Check out my blog for swatches! http://littleporcelainprincess.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/review-garniers-miracle-skin-perfector.html
Tips: I wore this with a colour correcting base and a very thin layer of BB Cream to get a lighter colour, but it's not really worth the trouble.
I must admit i use to LOVE this BB cream. I had a bottle of it in 'light' a while ago which was my go to. I had ran out after trying a couple other BB creams which I felt was no where near as good as this, so I purchased another bottle and I am sure the formula has been changed because it just seems to slide off my face and stick to my hands.
