I have the normal BB Cream in the colour light – first off this isn't overly light, I would say it's suitable for a light tan because it is very orange.
The product itself is a very generous size compared to some other BB Creams.
When you squeeze this out of the tube it is very thick, because of this I found it very difficult to apply, it caked when I used my hands and when I tried to blend it with a brush it went very streaky. One layer wasn't enough for me, I felt it didn't even out anything, I still had the same redness. It was my skin just a little bit orange.
I feel like I look quite oily as soon as I apply it, this isn't usually and issue for me until I get towards the end of the day and my natural oils start showing through. I was really hoping once this set I wouldn't look as oily. When I touch my face, I feel my hand sticking to it a little bit, and if I pull my hand away slow enough I can hear my hand pealing away from my face, I hate my face feeling sticky so much.
This transfers really easy, onto my phone, my hands, my top. You wouldn't want to hug anyone while wearing this or they would end up with stained clothes.
I have so far tried two of Garniers BB cream and I can say they do work great UNDER a foundation for a flawless look. I apply after primer and use a small amount, then let dry before applying my foundation and I find no need for concealer. It doesn't cake, and looks great. This is the only use I have found for these BB creams, if I hadn't of found this use for them they would have been going in the bin.
I have one more to try but I'm not very hopeful anymore.
I would say I have a combination skin type where my cheeks can get dry but my chin and t zone area can get oily. When first squeezing out this bb cream it has a somewhat thick consistency, I applied it to my face with my hands and then blended it in with a brush. I did prime before applying the product and used concealer followed by powder. The coverage is definitely light and more sheer than other bb creams I have used before, I found I had to use more concealer than I normally would because of this. I have pale skin so I choose the colour light, when first applied the colour seemed to be ok but as the day went on it seemed to oxidise and appear more orange than at first. It does however feel good on the skin but for me does require a touch up with powder throughout the day. At the moment I can not continue to keep wearing this as the colour is definitely too dark however it may better suited in the summer time.
