Garnier you've done it again! I love that the Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Anti-Age cream does exactly what it claims to do. The packaging is no longer entirely plastic but a more sustainable mix of materials. It is easy to get out and apply.
I usually use a heavy full coverage foundation that hides any imperfections which is great for the office so I wasn't expecting that the Garnier BB cream would perform as well in comparison to what I am used to. Now that summer is upon us and days are spent out in the sunshine and at the beach the Garnier BB Cream is perfect for me. It goes on very easily and hides the imperfections, while adding a light base of coverage and an SPF of 25. I was impressed with the finish and happy to head out into the sun knowing I had perfect coverage and was being sun smart at the same time.
So simple to use, so effect in the result I am convinced this will replace my usual foundation and make my summer makeup routine that much easier. Thank you for introducing me to such a great product!
For me having sunscreen in make-up is a no-brainer. I forget to put it on otherwise! Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Anti-Age SPF 25 even smells like sunscreen to me. And sadly it did the same thing as sun screen does, somehow melting into my eyes and stinging like crazy until i flushed it out. I planned to use Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Anti-Age SPF 25 as a weekend light coverage sunscreen and skin perfector all in one. The product was light in feeling on the skin.....almost too watery? Light colour was good for my fair skin but there was a slight orange tinge to it, whereas I probably need a more rosy tone. I Initially cautiously applied a light coverage with my fingertips. But out in the hot 26 degrees, it melted very quickly. So I tried again, applying more thickly with a sponge followed, by setting powder, as I would a foundation. But it was still a melted to a hot mess. Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Anti-Age SPF 25 just did not sit well on my face in summer....it would be interesting to see the winter experience in comparison. I applaud Garnier on use of the cardboard based tube used in packaging. Reducing the use of plastic is to be encouraged. Their work in this area was well documented/advertised on their packaging......in-fact their eco stance dominates the box. Overall a product I would not buy again and would only cautiously recommend to friends.
Tips: If you already have oily skin, be wary of this product on your face.
