Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

BB creams have become famous very quickly in the beauty industry. I mean who wouldn't love them. They are not as heavy as a foundation but provide a decent amount of cover along with the skin benefits. But are they really all they are cracked up to be? Over the past week I have tried out the Garnier Skin Naturals BB cream for normal skin. I have a light complexion so I used the light shade. It comes in a generous 50ml tube and claims to give 24hr hydration, evens complexion, corrects blemishes, gives a health glow and has UV protection. So I put it to the test and here are my thoughts. I didn't have it on my skin for 24 hrs but I did wear it for a good 8 hours, multiple times and I'd have to say that it did keep my skin hydrated for a good part of that time. It evened my skin tone and covered most of the redness however, if you have moderate to sever acne I would not recommend this product for cover. Do keep in mind that this is only a bb cream and not a full coverage foundation. It gave me a dewy finish. I have normal/dry skin and I did feel that by the end of the day I was a little shiny. I wouldn't recommend this specific one for oily skin as it clearly states normal skin type. As far as the UV protection, it's hard to say because of the season we are currently in but I believe the SPF 15 is a good amount as it gives you some protection without giving you that harsh flash back that is commonly talked about with products that have SPF. I believe it is a good product for the price and would recommend to someone that has normal and clear/minor blemish skin. Just one thing to keep in mind is that it does oxidize a little throughout the day which is a con unfortunately. The only other downside to this bb cream is the scent. I have sensitive skin and react to scent. It did irritate my skin just a tad but nothing like I have experienced in the past. If scent doesn't bother you then this would be a good product to try. Plus Garnier is a trusted brand that we all know and love. I would rate this product in total a 4/5. I hope this review was helpful.

I've tried a few bb creams and for each one if I want anything more than a very light cover/ glow then I always apply powder foundation on top. Until now! On first look the Garnier BB cream looked noticibly thicker and more pigmented than any previous BB cream I have tried. After applying a primer I used just my fingertips to smooth on the BB first impression was "oh no it's too orange/dark!" But I had simply not rubbed in enough. It spread really well and did not need very much at all. Once properly rubbed in it gave impressive coverage! It's still a BB so it doesn't cover everything but it provided a decent medium coverage for my skin as well as a healthy glow! Smell is pleasant/ not too "perfumey" or chemical smelling. But wait... Here's the impressive part! It sticks like glue! I put it on in the morning, no touch ups required, and even went to bootcamp that night and sweated my bum off and guess what!? Still on strong- did not run or sweat off!! For a supermarket brand BB cream I would totally recommend!! Tube is a good size that will last you a while! I have normal/ dry skin and found this great; it was perhaps a tad on the oily side so I fear that it may not be 100% suitable for oily skin. But for $17 it's worth a go!

I had heard a lot of positives about various BB creams so it was interesting to test out this one. I didn't have high hopes but I was pleasantly surprised! I took photos before, after one coat and then after a second to see what it was like. I think the two coats looked the best but one would be fine for every day use. It goes on really easily, a bit like a moisturiser. It didn't feel too bad on either. It was even and gave a good cover. It didn't have a strong smell and it lasted well. The packaging was simple and clean looking which I liked. I would definitely consider using this on a regular basis.

I was pleased with the results achieved with the BB cream. The tube is a good size and fits easily into a makeup bag if travelling. The consistency of the BB cream isn't too thick or too thin, and I found the coverage to be good. It applies well to the skin. I applied the cream with both my finger tips and a makeup brush and the results were good with either method. There is a subtle fragrance, not at all overpowering similar to any foundation type product. I found that adding a coating of pressed powder over the cream, took any gloss off your complexion and it was an excellent replacement of foundation for day /work wear. I would definately recommend the Garnier BB Cream for everyday use. It is easy to apply and lasts on the skin well. A big saving when using as a replacement for foundation.

I have tried many BB creams, including another one from Garnier, and I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with this one. I would say I have normal skin, that tends to be slightly dry during winter so for this reason I liked the hydration from this BB cream. My face did keep a healthy glow throughout the entire day which was nice, but it was the only good thing about it unfortunately.

The SPF is too low for me for summer, yet the shade was too dark for someone very fair for winter. I've used tinted moisturisers with better coverage than this BB cream so if you're looking to replace a foundation with something is supposed to be an all in one product this is not the best choice. The explanation of a 'light touch of make up for flawless skin' is generous in my opinion. Most people who don't have "model like" skin will be reaching for a lot of concealer or adding a foundation on top for a flawless finish.

I do like that it appears to have some ingredients that are good for your skin, but the strong scent suggests that there is a perfume added which is a concern for me.

I really didn't like this product. It has a unusual smell and texture. After a few days of use I started to break out, I have semi sensitive skin but I haven't had bad skin like this in forever.I didn't think it made my skin look much different at all.

This is a great product, my daughter tested this and it looked natural. She found it easy to apply for someone who usually doesn't wear makeup had a lot of nice comments from her friends at school. Good colour match for her skin tone. Not to thick it was a nice look for her it didn't look like a cake face. I would buy it for her again nice product.

I typically have normal skin which can become dry during winter. I found this BB cream to be very hydrating and it did not cling to any dry patches I had. This product has a pleasant scent which does not last long on the skin. In terms of application, the think and creamy consistency of the BB cream made it easy to apply with either a foundation brush or my fingers. The packing is fine for the price and it is easy to control the amount you get out of the tube. I received the shade light and unfortunately it was too dark for my fair skin. I could just get away with applying a small amount and blending it out a lot, or wearing it as a base under my foundation. For these reasons however, I found it only had a light coverage and did not see much difference in the evenness of my skin or correction of blemishes. I was not able to apply more and build up the coverage as it became far too dark for my skin. I like that this product has SPF in it and did find it added a glow to my skin. I would recommend this to someone with a slightly darker skin tone who wanted a light weight alternative to foundation.

I received the light in this cream and I am very happy with the results.The packaging is user friendly and fits perfectly in you make up bag. The cream is smooth and soft and spreads easily making it great to blend around the edges. The coverage is great without being heavy and covers imperfections while also letting your skin shine through and look luminous but not greasy. The only thing I dont love is the fragrance but it is OK and not too offensive.I would definitely use this again.

I recently tested the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter daily all in one BB cream. Having already tried out the product in the past I knew a bit about it already. I have normal to dry skin so the moisturizing particles made my skin feel hydrated and smooth throughout the day which I was very pleased about. It is definitely sheer to medium coverage as i felt like it didn't really cover up my blemishes. I personally perfer medium to high coverage for my skin when i go out as i like to cover up my freckles and give myself a flawless appearance. If i were to use this BB cream again i would also put some type of foundation on top also. As i applied it I noticed it gave me a healthy glow and stayed well on my skin for around 8 hours, after that i could see it slightly oxidiseing around the bottom of my nose where i often get dry skin. Overall i feel if you are someone who likes low to medium coverage and lots of moisture this would be an excellent product for you!
