Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

unfortunately I did not enjoy this product, I reckon think the shade was right for me ( too dark). I also found it went quite hard to blend and found it dried quite orange. I do however believe it provided adequate sun protection.

I'd never have considered buying a BB Cream as I prefer foundation with a full coverage.

However I was very impressed by this product. It gives me a youthful glow, provides a nice amount of coverage, yet still has a natural look about it.

I'm particularly enjoying having a foundation that's more moisturising than my usual because winter dries out my skin.

I love this product! I would have never thought to have brought this myself as I wasn't sure if it would do as it said. After trying this product I will be going out to buy it again, I fell in love with it the first time I tried it, you look like you have make up on and it hydrates your skin - 2 mins in the morn and you are ready to take on the day! I love this and recommend to all !

I used the Normal BB Cream, Medium shade for a week. I used in all different ways , using my fingers, using a brush, using a primer, using a powder. All gave different results. My favourite way to wear was to buff the bb cream in with a brush and then lightly dust on some translucent powder. It is a very thick consistency so use a light hand. I found the medium to be a bit orangey on my skin , I usually use yellow based foundations. But when applied lightly it gave a sunkissed look. Overall I wouldn't use this as my everyday BB Cream but would love to try again in summer when my skin is a bit darker.

I have had very mixed feelings about this product from the very start. I think my expectations were a bit too high for this product. I received the Garnier Normal Skin BB cream in Medium. In hindsight I should have gone for the Light shade as this one ended up being a bit too dark for me most of the time. I think the packaging is quite nice and the box has all the information that you would want to know on it which is good, as I hate it when you have a box that doesn't tell you anything useful about the product. I think the caramel brown colour of the tube is quite nice and think that the flat bottom is quite handy as it means you can stand it upright on your dresser. The consistency of the BB cream is thick and creamy and it wasn't running down the side of my hand when I went to apply it. When applying it I just applied it like my normal moisturizer, with my hands. As I was doing this as a trial I tried different ways of applying but would not recommend any of them. I tried applying with a duo fibre Real Techniques brush and a normal foundation but didn't like either of them very much and I still had to use my fingers to blend. I did try a buffer brush to blend but found it took off half the product. I also tried applying it with a beauty blender, which worked better than the brushes, but again had to use my fingers so hands it was for me. The coverage was a light to medium coverage and did well at covering my minor blemishes and redness. I did try applying twice for extra coverage, waiting in between for the first layer to dry, and that did work rather nicely instead of usingfoundation. The longevity wasn’t too good compared to another BB cream I have used, and the weather isn't even hot yet. I have found that as it dried it sometimes looked a bit orange on my skin and it would all be pretty much gone by the time I go to wipe it off with my makeup wipes at night. When applied under my matte foundation it made it look oily and also decreased the longevity of that product too even though it did give me a more flawless look. One of the things I was most disappointed with was that this product has made my skin oilier. I have combination/normal skin depending on the season. Some days it goes slightly oily or slightly dry. My skin hasn't felt as oily as it does now in about 4 years! I may need the one for oily skin now which is a bit annoying. Will have to go back to toning my face which again I haven’t had to do in years. If this BB cream had of been the perfect fit and I would have been using it every day then I think this probably would have lasted me about a month and a half. For $17.49 for a 50 ml package it is a good price but I would rather stick to my moisturizer and foundation combo as I get exactly the right colour for my skin, SPF protection and oil free skin. I will try this BB cream in this shade again in summer when my olive skin looks a bit darker. I’m not sure if I would recommend this product to anyone who has similar skin to me.

a perfect perfect product..... does everything it claims and at a fraction of the price of my other foundations..... I have had to "move up" to the anti-aging foundation (sigh) but for all you lucky ladies on the right side of 45 you will NOT find a better product!

Hi there, I found the cream really nice and easy to apply.I have some red broken veins and spots some big pores it covered nicely.My skin felt soft and looked much better.the colour was a bit dark for me so I mixed it with my Hydroxatone anti-aging BBC cream perfect then nice and light .I liked it

I have pretty normal skin but don’t wear make-up on a regular basis so I found this product ideal as it gave me the results I wanted; no more blemishes and left perfect looking skin. It isn't overly thick and it is simple to apply – just a small amount on the finger tip like you would moisturiser. There is no overpowering smell and it blends well with natural colour leaving an even looking and accurately claimed ‘flawless’ finish. The only negative I found (and this could be because I am not used to wearing foundation) was that it felt slightly heavy and although it lasted all day I felt the need to be careful as though it might rub off on clothing or if I scratched my face. In terms of price I would be inclined to purchase this product as it is readily available (supermarket) and very reasonably priced. The packaging is perfect for the product and the tube makes it super easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a simple but stunning beauty routine, apply in the morning and cleanse off at night.

Awesome product! DEFINITELY creates a lovely glow and you can feel that it is hydrating too, and for a long time. The texture is good - not too thick OR too watery. Is great if you just want a boost - I have normal skin with some blotchy bits and I wouldn't say it gives a 'flawless' complexion, but it can go over other foundation if you need full coverage and an extra 'glow' or I use it when I'm off to yoga or having an 'at home' day as it smells lovely and fresh, feels nice and gives me some coverage without the full feeling of heavy foundation.

I have fairly normal skin, my only specific concerns are some redness from rosacea around my nose and light oil in the T-zone. I usually use another BB cream from more a expensive brand, so I was delighted to try this and find that I actually preferred it! The consistency is really nice, unlike other BB creams it's not to thick or waxy and feels more like a tinted moisturiser. I applied it with clean fingers and found it blended well, melting into my skin much better than my other BB cream which seems to sit on top. I didn't really notice a fragrance, so if there is one I would say it is neither unpleasant nor strong. The coverage was great- far better than I expected, it's sheer but somehow still covered the redness around my nose and a few spots. The finish is probably best described as dewy, and I would recommend a light dusting of power on the T-zone if you are prone to oil. It lasted all day, and because you don't need much the 50ml tube will go a long way. This product retails for less than half what U spent on my last BB cream, so not only is it a bargain but I prefer it. The packaging is signature Garnier style, not to fussy and with a practical flip-lip.

I agree that the product is hydrating as it says it is, I used it directly over my serum without my usual moisturiser (something I would not do with my other BB cream!) and my skin felt lovely.

I would definitely recommend this to a friend, I've tried really hard to find a fault with it, used it everyday this week, alone and under makeup and I can honestly say I just love it.
