Light, Fresh and Fragrant

This BB cream is an exceptionally lightweight, luminous and refreshing product, especially well suited for dry skin. I found that it produced a glowing, dewy effect and I also enjoyed its fragrant smell. I found it blended well with my natural skin tone and was relatively easy to apply. It gave me an even, smooth skin tone and counteracted any redness I had on my cheeks, and under-eye darkness. However because it is quite lightweight I would recommend using a concealer with it to hide particularly stubborn under-eye darkness. I also found that it didn't wear particularly well over the day, and I had to reapply it later in the afternoon. Overall though I would definitely recommend it, particularly for people with sensitive, dry skin.

Tips: Apply sparingly unless you like a rather luminous, dewy face.

Slightly disappointed

The cream just seemed to be a little thick or gluggy... it went on quite well though and blended really nicely with my skin tone. Only needed a tiny amount to cover my face. It did feel a little heavy or oily though, but I'm not sure if that is just the consistency or my skin! Overall it did what it said it would, and helped even out my skin tone.

Tips: I started using a daily skin cream before applying, and it helped it to not be quite so 'oily'... and it definitely blended a lot better. And you only need the tiniest amount to cover your face!

Garnier BB Cream - Normal

I used the normal skin Light 50 ml , i really liked this product especially since it is SPF 15, thou in the summer it would be good if the SPF rate could be higher, any way cream went on smoothly and didn't feel heavy and since i am pale it was the right shade for me,i did use it under my foundation, and found my foundation applied more evenly. i did find that the product looked good all day, i think if you were in a rush this would be goood as you wouldn't have to apply your foundation.yes i would recommend this product as it just as good as some more expensive bb creams in the market and a great price as well.

Tips: i used a brush to apply so it went on alot more smoother that using your finger tips.

Great Daily Wear Product

I have sensitive skin that reacts to many ingredients in products and causes me a lot of grief when trialing new developments and/or skin care products. I equally struggle with the colours of foundation and BB creams as my skin tends to have more of a yellow base which isn't well supported in many of the brands available. I was lucky ed to trial two BB creams - one the normal Miracle Skin Perfector and the other the Anti-ageing one so I chose to apply both - one to each side of my face for a week. On initial application I noted the very pleasant fragrance of the anti-ageing BB cream. It was subtle but refreshing. The normal BB cream had a different fragrance and while not as pleasant as the anti-ageing product it was still perfectly acceptable. Packing for both was identical other than the additional of a red banner on the anti-ageing BB cream. Packing was attractive and functional. Now to the colour - I chose the medium colour. My immediate reaction was OMG this is so dark! I was almost put off using it but thankfully I perservered as the colour spread out evenly and went on smoothly. Neither product left streaks when applied to cleansed skin. I did not pre moisturise but applied both creams to bare skin. There is quite a lot of orange pigment in the Medium colour but it did blend in well.. Did I notice andl differences in the appearance of my skin when wearing two different types of Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream. To be frank the only glaring difference was that the anti ageing BB cream gave my skin a more highlighted appearance on my cheekbones and above my brows. The normal BB cream was drier but still left an overall smooth appearance to my complexion. Both products lasted exceptionally well throughout the day and left me feeling like I was bare-skinned but with a more even skin tone than would normally be the case. I have some serious pigmentation issues under my chin which neither product covered very well. Whether the anti-ageing BB cream gave my wrinkles (I am lucky to not have a huge number of them) or not is still under debate in my household. My skin certainly felt firmer and definitely glowed. The side of my face that used the normal BB cream did not feel as firm nor had the highlighted appearance as the other. Overall both creams left me feeling confident that my skin was well presented when out and about. Nobody noticed or commented that my face looked different one side to the other. Best of all I experienced no break-outs or irritations which is always a bonus for someone with sensitive skin. The only downside is the overall orange tinge that I would have preferred to be more toned down in the medium. I think that as far as value for money goes this is a great daily wear product that leaves skin feeling hydrated and natural

Tips: Make sure you don't use too much of the BB cream and blend it well. If you have a yellow tinge to your skin tone I am not sure if the medium tone would be suitable

Garnier BB Cream

I have used Garnier BB cream in the past and went for the medium shade not the light shade which now I realise was probably the wrong colour for me as the light shade has blended into my skin nicely so much that I can't tell if its actually on my skin or not. It doesn't have quite the coverage I would like that I have seen in other BB creams but it is fine if I am having a 'good skin day' then I am not bothered if it covers a lot or not.I applied it just with my fingers like putting on a moisturiser and it was easy enough to work into my skin. I am not sure if I would go out and buy this for $17.49 I think I would prefer another brand.

Tips: Apply a powder over the top to make it last longer on your face and not have your face go shiney. Also the powder makes the BB cream look like it has more coverage.

Good weekend alternative to foundation

The Garnier BB cream has a thickish consistency but is extremely spreadable. A small amount will go a long way. I really liked the coverage it provided - during the week I would use it as a primer under my foundation and in the weekend I would use it on it's own for a more natural look. It evened out my skin tone nicely and gave me a slightly tanned glow. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it made my skin look really shiny and oily (I would consider my skin normal). I have subsequently tried the oil-free version and like it a lot better (see my other review). Packaging is nice and I liked the easy squeeze tube.

Tips: Wear as a primer during the week under foundation and on it's own for a more natural weekend look. Suited for DRY skin.

BB cream

My first time using any BB cream and im pleased with the results. The medium shade was a little dark for me but I found it blended easy and smoothly anyway. Nice and light for lazy days, stayed on well for me but found myself putting on a second layer throughout the day. Didnt find it too oily for my skin.

Tips: Apply two layers for better all day coverage!

Would happily use again

I tried the BB cream for normal skin as I don't have any major problem areas. My skin occasionally can get oily with some makeup a but I didn't have a problem with this one. I first noticed it was a lot thicker than other brands I have tried which made me think it would have better coverage, which it didn't. However it did mean I didn't need to use as a much. It is easy to apply; I just used my fingers and it is very light. It works like any other BB cream - evens skin tone while providing light coverage. It did brighten my skin instantly which other brands I've used don't. It has a light perfumey smell but this only seemed to last while being applied. It lasted all or most of the day and I found it didn't need to be reapplied. This is only a few dollars more than some other brands and because I found it better I would have no problem paying for it and using it again. Overall I would recommend for anyone who wants healthier, smoother looking skin with light coverage. I would also say that this is more of a day time makeup rather than night just because of the minimal coverage (but this is all BB creams not just this one).

Tips: Use powder or bronzer overtop for more coverage

perfect BB cream

Lovely product, really nice smell, coverage was good. Felt nice on and didn't feel heavy, which was great. I would recommend this to someone else that is wanting a light foundation especially for those days when you don't want to wear a full foundation. It left my face soft and smooth and not oily. It covered up my imperfections without feeling heavy.

First BB experience

This is the first bb cream I have tried and it was a good experience. This one smells amazing and feels very fresh when you put it on. It has a nice smooth finish which puts the right amount of colour for a natural look. I wore it under my make up as a base and it worked great also just as something to chuck on when I didn't feel like much make up

Tips: Use it as a base for your every day make up for a smooth look :)
