Garnier BB Nude Effect

I have older mature skin and was eager to see how Granier BB Nude Effect would look on me. It was novel seeing the cream which was white when I put it on transform to blend and match my skin tone. Overall I found it blended well, provided a natural coverage and more importantly to me it was light and I didn't feel like I was wearing makeup. I was impressed with how well it stayed on during some pretty hot and humid days.

It was easy to apply and the tube has a good solid cap meaning it won't leak in your make up bag. A good size too I thought. I'm sure it will last a while even with daily use.

A little went a long way and you can choose to use more or less to get the cover you want.

The slight fragrance was to me fresh and pleasant.

I didn't so much notice any glow but was happy to have a more even skin tone. Although it is known for its hydrating properties, I still moisturised first and I know it has an SPF of 15 but I would like to have seen it higher, again my moisturiser provided more SPF and I was also using that.

In summary I was happy with the product - it did what is said it would and I was impressed with the universal shade on my olive skin. I would recommend it and I would use it again, especially in summer given how well it lasted and stayed looking great in the heat.

Tips: I would say great for teens starting out with makeup and for older people like me who don't want to have pancake or heavy looking foundation on but do want to even out some uneven skin tone amd look naturally beautiful.

Garnier BB Cream Nude

I was lucky enough to trial Garnier's newest BB Cream. And I actually quite like it! Unlike other BB Creams, this one is not tinted - so no worries about matching the BB Cream to your skin tone! Rather, it is white and the same texture as a normal moisturiser. The idea is that this BB cream adjusts to the colour of your skin to get a perfect match every time.

I really like the fragrance of this product; feminine, fresh and summer-y. If you are not a fan of fragranced moisturisers or BB creams, then this is not the product for you.

This did not cover my redness or scaring. But in all fairness, I do not use BB creams for this rather I use foundations. I use BB creams under foundation almost as a primer. And for this this product is great! Rather than covering my troublesome skin, it almost slightly blurred it or smoothed the pigmentation. It almost just made my skin look and feel a little less tired.

Overall, would I buy it again? As a primer sure! As an alternative to foundation, no. But I do not find any BB cream covers my redness or scarring so this is not individual to this product. I really like the idea of not worrying about buying the right shade and the smell and feel made my skin feel fresh. So for this reason I will totally continue using this!

Tips: Great under powder foundation! If you are wanting coverage for redness or scarring then this will not do it.

Smells amazing

I was interested to try this new bb cream and compare it to the normal garnier bb cream. This bb cream is different as the original colour of the cream is white but it adjusts and changes colour when you apply it on your skin. You can see the tiny beads of the micro pigments in the cream. Once I applied this to my face it began to darken and although the shade is slightly on the orange side a bit too dark than what my normal shade is its still passable. It just looks like my face has a nice tan. Just a warning too that it does take a while for the bb cream to oxidise, so be aware that it will still keep darkening.

The texture of this bb cream is smooth and light, similar to a moisturiser. This makes it easy to apply and blend on your skin. I've applied this using fingers and a brush (stipple) and find it just as easy to blend using fingers. This bb cream is hydrating as it says. However if you have dry skin I would still apply your normal moisturiser underneath.

The coverage is sheer to light which is what you would expect from a bb cream. It doesn't provide much coverage and you can still see my acne scars underneath. It feels quite light in your skin, like our only wearing moisturiser. It does smooth out my skin tone a bit and gives it more of a fresh look.

I find that this doesn't last long on my face. I do have combination oily skin which might be why it slips off quickly. Even if I set it with powder it will only last half a day at the most.

I love the smell of this bb cream. It has an almost fruity smell which must come from the apricot oil. I also love that this bb cream has SPF.

Overall I have enjoyed using this bb cream. It gives a light overage while also hydrating your skin.

Thanks Maree! It's amazing how the shade can adapt to your skintone. And yes it sounds like this is in the next BBBE.

Awesome review MissQT. I'm guessing this is the BB cream in the latest BBBE, so I can't wait to try it!

Garnier BB Cream Nude

I really wish these would work for me. I just want a light reflecting, skin tone evening BB Cream that works with my skin colour haha.

This went orange on me. Smells the same as the other garnier BB creams.

Easy to use and spread , comes out of the tube white and switches to a nude colour. Not good for us pale skin girls haha.

Wears well , I gave it to my daughter , she's 15 .

It's perfect for her. evens the colour , has an spf which I love because I want her face to be protected.

It's perfect for a quick glow and moisture. It does not make her oily skin , oiler. Perfect for medium skin shades.

Subtle glow

I decided to get this in the Beauty Vault, after I saw it go up for trial on Beauty Review, and I really wanted to try it.

This BB cream comes in a 50ml tube. It claims to have self-adjusting properties that adjust to match your skin tone. It says it will give you a natural, healthy glow, while feeling lightweight. It also contains SPF 15.

First of all this cream is very easy to use. It comes easily out of the tube, and it rubs easily onto the skin. You do not need to use much product to cover your whole face. It also feels light, but ever so slightly tacky.

I am a very pale lady. When I first apply the cream it looks very orange on my skin, however, the formula does actually adjust as promised to a more natural shade. So like the picture of the woman on the side of the box, I end up with a very subtle hint of colour to my face, which must be the glow they promised!

The main drawback of this BB cream is that the coverage is very sheer. If you are looking to cover up any imperfections, then this will not do it. The box says to apply a second layer for more coverage, but I don't want to do that in case I just look more orange. However, if you have great skin and just want a subtle glow and sun protection, then this is a great product for you.

I have found because of its slightly tacky feeling, that this cream works very well as a base for foundation. My makeup routine now goes like this: primer, BB cream, foundation, and brightening powder. It is really good as a base for my foundation, and for giving me a subtle glow beneath the foundation.

Tips: For extra coverage, use as a base underneath your foundation.

Natural coverage BB Cream by Garnier

I was given the opportunity to try the Garnier Self-adjusting BB cream. I have always liked Garnier products and this was no exception. The product packaging is nice however the tube is not sealed by the manufacturer. The BB cream comes out white and once applied onto the skin, transforms into a shade that matches your skintone. That is the part I like the most. The coverage is light but it actually does a good job of evening out the complexion. The product absorbs well. The smell is light and pleasant. It contains SPF15 which is an added plus. I like the fact that it contains Vitamin C with antioxidant properties. I didn't have to reapply at all during the day. I really like this product and will definitely consider repurchasing and recommend to others.

Tips: This will give light coverage, so use a concealer stick underneath to help even out the complexion in areas where you need more cover.

Radiant glow with light coverage.

I really like this BB cream, it definitely does match my skin tone and blends really nicely. It gives a nice dewy glow to skin and I feel fresh faced when I wear this, which is most days (that or tinted moisturiser). It smooths on nicely and you don’t need a lot to get nice coverage. I don’t like thick caked on heavy foundation or coverage so I think this bb cream is great for what I like.

Tips: Ensure your moisturiser (if you use one underneath which you don’t have to with this cream) is fully dry before applying otherwise it crumbles and flakes.

Beautiful for summer

This is such a fun product, it comes out white and adjusts to my skin tone perfectly. It blends in very easily with my fingertips and isn’t heavy, it just feels like I’m wearing moisturiser. The one thing I did notice with application as it can go a little patchy depending on what moisturiser I have underneath so I would suggest either wearing it alone or apply after moisturiser has been completely absorbed.

I like the finish it gives, a very soft blurring effect which will be amazing over the warmer months when it’s just way to hot for a full face of foundation (With the added bonus of spf15 protection!!!!) It has a nice soft scent also, which I haven’t found irritating to my sensitive skin. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of is the tacky sticker that is on the front of the tube that has the English translation , it just makes it look really cheap. Apart from that minor thing it’s a very nice product.

Tips: It is still tinted so be sure to blend in down the neck xx

Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

Even though was a very quick time frame of a review, i must say i was impressed, Really like the fact that it suits any skin so you dont end up getting the wrong light med or dark, and it really did adjust to the skin, it is a light cover, which for me during the work week is perfect, as i dont like wearing a heavy foundation,i apply always apply with a sponge and it really worked well with that, it also feels nice and light and looks natural.. so im pretty impressed with this for a everyday cover. will be purchasing again.and i know it is a reasonable price range, always good to have a nice bb cream for everyday use. thank you :)

Garnier Bb Cream - Nude

I have never tried this cream before so was quite unsure how it would work on my skin. When the cream comes out it shows a white texture and you think to yourself how does this match your skin tone. To my surprise, it actually did. I tried different ways of applying this to my skin. First was direct to my face then the other way i tried was placing it on the outside of my hand and mixing this before applying to my face. I found applying the cream directly to your face was the best way in my opinion. You place this on areas you want to cover and then rub the cream in. I found it very easy to apply. It was not heavy and thick on your skin like some brands can be. It actually made my skin feel a bit refreshed. I found it lasted on my face all day long which was great. It looked natural and didnt look like I had piles of make up on. I found this to be a great product.

Tips: Apply direct to skin where you want to cover those blemishes. Mix in a circle motion and you'll see the colour of the cream change to match your skin tone.
