Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

As someone with an uneven skin tone, I was eager to try Garnier BB Cream to see if it would actual even out my complexion. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. As someone who always wears a heavy cover foundation to hide the redness in my checks, I found the Garnier BB Cream gave me nice even colour. With a light touch of power on my nose, I was ready to leave for work with just my BB Cream and some mascara. Being nice and light, I found that it wasn't drying and my skin felt hydrated all day. With the added bonus of an SPF 15, you really cant go wrong with this product. It's a handy size to keep in your handbag should you need a quick touch up and is most definitely a for the beach bag in summer. I found it to be pleasant smelling and gave me a healthy glow, that even my husband noticed. My only problem I found with this product is being a light shade, the colour was a little pink for my skin tone. Overall I would recommend this product for everyone to try.

I've got pretty normal skin. It's not wrinkly, oily, dry or crazily pigmented, it just sits in the middle of the road as we travel together towards 40. So while it's not problematic sometimes I wake up looking like the tired Mum I am and I think I should probably make a bit of an effort and put some make up on for work. I've used BB creams before included L'Oreal's Youth Code and in my make up drawer I currently have 2 products on the go - a Dove tinted moisturiser and a REN organic BB cream from Liberty of London- so a high and low end I guess you could say. To be honest I don't notice an extreme difference with any of them, the Garnier Miracle Skin included. They all do what they say they will initially, they even out the skin and give you a bit of colour.

The Garnier product had the signature Garnier smell, went on smoothly and provided the hint of colour I was looking for. Did it give me miracle skin or make me look younger? No, but I appreciated the SPF - important even in winter.

I don't find the product lasts particularly well, probably hold the initial effect for an hour.

This product is no better or worse than other mainstream BB cream on the market, making me happy to recommend it or any other supermarket BB cream if someone wants an everyday boost at a reasonable price but not enough to make me recommend it as a skin or life changing product.

Not sure if I like this BB cream or not. It's quite thick, almost as thick as a foundation. I did have some nice compliments the night I wore it out at night, so that is a good thing. It has a pleasant fragrance, and I didn't have to use makeup remover on my fingers to get the residue off like I have had to with other brands. With my pale face, I used the light colour for the trial, but for people with extremely pale skin, it would still be too dark. It didn't do a bad job with my 40 year old skin, and it lasted a night out.

I was very excited to try this BB cream, I currently use Lioele Triple as a base when applying foundation to ensure I hide all of my freckles etc. I feel that this BB cream was quite different to others in the sense it held more colour instead of making me super white. The coverage was not the greatest, I would compare it best to tinted moisturisers I have used in the past. I got a Medium shade sample, this was a bit dark for me but I was able to blend it out and make it work for my skin tone with the help of my powder. I did enjoy the moisturising factor of this BB cream, it felt really nice on my skin and has a pleasant scent about it too! I would use this BB cream in future on a day around the house, just so I have something on my skin but as a personal preference I prefer to have full coverage when heading out =)

I love it!! My skin type is usually quite dry and normally things like this would cake up and build up on my dry areas and look awful. This gave me the best coverage and you don't need to use much at all. It doesn't look like you have heavy make-up on, it looks natural and smooth. I like how it was creamy and smelled quite pleasant. So quick and easy to apply. The product seemed to last most the day and made me look fresh and feel 'alive'. I would be happy to pay for it as I can tell it will last me a long time and do the job I want it to do. Packaging was great. Simple, yet elegant and very easy to use without spillage. So I will most definitely continue to use this product and rave about it to my friends. It's easy, does what it says, affordable, efficient and gives great results!

I love Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream!!! For me it is an essential in my beauty regime! I have used this before and feel Garnier may have changed the formula slightly. I used to find the scent overpowering, but this has toned down, and is a lovely mild smelling scent. It spreads easily, and leaves skin feeling and looking smooth, even and glowing! Too good to be true. It leaves skin looking great for the morning, but I wouldn't say it lasts all day, and doesn't provide coverage as a foundation would. Great product though!

I've been using this product everyday for over a week and it has now become my favourite item in my make-up bag.

First thing I noticed was the consistency- very creamy so a little goes a long way. It also smells lovely, but the smell does go away quite quickly after application. The coverage is great, it provides just enough to make my skin seem flawless without the heavy caked-on look. I don't need to use a primer or concealer beforehand either which is a bonus! On my skin, it does last a while, but not as long as a regular foundation would. It's not really a problem though, as it's so light,I can top it up whenever necessary.

Overall,I would say it's perfect for a fresh-faced look and it's a great product to swipe on when you're in a rush, which I often am in the morning!

First of all, I'd love to point out that I have been wanting to try a BB cream for a very long time!

What a beautiful product, it smelt fresh and was very moisturizing and glided onto my skin without being sticky. Also you don't have to use much of this product to acheive great results (always a bonus).

It gave an excellent coverage over my skin, lately I have been having issues with my skin so I feel a little self concious about it!

My mum commented on how amazing the product looked on my skin, and for her to say that... well the product must be amazing!!!!

Also the packaging is nice and simple, it points out what the product is and what it does without being to over the top and hey, I would still be very pulled towards it at the supermarket!

Being a student, I am on a budget and I think the price of this product is extremely reasonable as it will last a very long time.

I really expected to love this product but it was a real disappointment.

I thought the packaging was great, cute and compact. I also thought that it was a good size for the price.

The formula itself was a lot thicker than i expected. It seemed quite creamy and had no real fragrance which was good.

Applying it to my skin though, it was sticky and heavy. I didn't find it went on evenly and left me really sticky and shiny. I put my usual foundation and make-up over it and it did not look good. I think if i had used a power foundation it might have been better? I ended up with a dewy completion, which at times is great, but wasn't what i was looking for. I also found it made my foundation patchy and didn't last very long.

The next day i tried the product on its own. Again it was shiny and sticky, I have a 'normal' skin type (not oily or dry). I can see that they were wanting to give it a glowy look, but i think its gone a little far. I also found that there was little to no coverage and it didn't really balance my skin tone out the way i expected a BB cream would.
