Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I don't usually use tinted skin products so this was a first for me. My skin is generally in great condition with only occassional outbreaks. My skin care routine consists of Washing with dermalogica foaming cleanser, using a natural mist toner followed by a SPF moisturizer. I applied this product directly after applying my toner and I applied it using clean fingers.

Things I really liked about this product: * The tint was a an excellent match for my skin tone * Lovely scent, Not strong or unpleasant, Just nice and fresh * Easy to apply, excellent consistency. Not to thick and not to watery. * I liked the Matt finish though the product did tend to go shiny as the day wore on. * Good (Not excellent though) coverage * Two coats DID give me better coverage, And the coverage was great over a newly acquired scar on my chin * Great to have a 'Two in One' product, Saved time which is always a great thing * Didn't cause many outbreaks (I only had one during the time I used this product) * My skin still felt hydrated * Lots of compliments on how good I was looking *easy to use packaging and tube. The product didn't squirt out and it was easy to extract the right amount.

Things I didn't like: * Did, on occasions, make my skin tingly and itchy (Usually first thing in the morning when I had just put the product on) * I would like to have seen a security seal on the bottle itself or packaging that meant the product hadn't been tampered with * The product rubbed off on my clothing and collars leaving stains. * The lovely coverage only lasted 3-4 hours before it became shiny and started to 'Wear off' * I wouldn't personally spend the $17.49 on this product. I think it is slightly overpriced but then I am used to purchasing plain moisturizers.

In summary this is a good product that provided a nice, consistent coverage. I would recommend this product to my friends but not to those who are after a full and long term coverage for the day as I didn't feel the product made your skin 'Instantly Flawless' with day long coverage.

I used the BB cream over a week. On the first application I found the smell a typical Garnier smell. I find a lot of their products have their own branded fragrance. On application all week I thought it was quite oily. It gave my skin a very shiny look. Although after 30minutes and two applications it seems to soak in and hydrate my skin. The cream after two applications gave medium coverage, it didn't quite hide my freckles.

I did like this product but it is not something I would wear everyday. I found it had a nice even coverage but was a bit tacky for my liking. Especially when you have to apply it more than once. It didn't have a lot of staying power.

I have normal skin type, with no worries.

This product is very light and easy to apply. I applied it with my fingers and it gives a sheer coverage but it gives a shiney finish. It didn't last as long as I would have hoped, I had to reapply it half way through the day. I did find that it is hard to get the right amount out of the tube - I kept getting too much.

Price wise - I think it is probably worth it but it is not a product I will buy again.

The packaging is very pleasing and draws your eye to it.

After using the product for nearly a week I would say it does do what it says. I would recommend it to someone who did not want a full coverage and that did not want to be applying moisturiser and foundation separetely,.

I received the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream (Normal) in the medium shade as I have a slightly tanned complexion and I also use the medium shades in other BB cream brands I use or have used. When I first received it I swatched it on the back of my hand against my current go-to BB cream (also in medium) and noticed the Garnier medium was much darker which worried me at first. However after applying it I found that it blended quite nicely into my natural skin tone and wasn't noticeably darker.

I found the consistency to be thick and creamy when squeezed out of the tube but thins out nicely when applying, allowing you to build up the coverage if necessary. It is a bit like butter - solid when squeezed out but melts down nicely to apply easily over skin. I actually preferred applying this with a brush or sponge as it gave me better control over how thick I was applying it. With a small application it gave me a sheer coverage with a matte finish. I had some red blemishes in the week I trialed this product and while it did reduce the redness of them, it only did so slightly and not as well as other BB creams I use would.

It is slightly fragranced but I found this to be a pleasant smell and I didn't notice that the smell lingered all day. I used this product on top of my moisturizer and also trialed it with and without my MAC Studio Fix powder which I often use to 'set' my BB cream. I found that this product lasted all day with me, whether I used the powder or not.

The product claims to give 24 hour hydration, evens complexion, corrects blemishes, boost healthy glow and provide UV protection. I felt my skin was hydrated but also noticed that the product gave a slight 'tacky' feel to the skin, this seemed to reduce over the day though. It did even out my complexion and give my skin a nice 'sun-kissed' glow which I did like. In regards to blemishes, it did reduce the redness but only slightly.

You don't need a lot to get a good basic coverage so for the price and size of the package, it is great for those on a budget needing something quick that can give a daily, natural look.

I have normal skin and found no issues using this product (trialed for a week). I don't have any negatives to report on this product but I do still prefer my current BB cream over it.

I love BB creams and prefer them over foundation for everyday, so I was excited to try out this one; I got it in the shade Medium.

Firstly, I was a little shocked by the colour when it came out of the tube. It is very dark (much darker than a 'medium' shade ought to be) and has an orangey/peachy hue. I was a little afraid to put it on my face! However, once rubbed it, the colour did blend away a bit, but it still left a bit of an orange cast.

The texture is quite thick and oily; not the most pleasant thing to rub on your face. It reminded me a bit of butter, but not in a good way. Because it was so greasy, it left my face looking rather shiny after I applied it. This subsided after it settled/absorbed a bit into my skin, but I still applied some powder over top since I tend to get oily during the day, concentration on the T-zone.

It has a nice light coverage and definitely made my skin look smoother, but doesn't cover any blemishes or under eye issues very well. So i feel that the 'Instantly perfect skin' claim on the box is a bit of an overstatement.

Overall, I don't mind this BB cream, but probably wouldn't purchase it again due to it's strange colouring and thick/greasy texture; I much prefer lighter and mattifying products.

Hi all...ye, this product ain't that bad at all..it's majorly thick and creamy...a little goes quite a way...I don't usually like garnier because their products have such a strong purfume but this didn't! Also their product give me pimples but this didn't! I used with and without primer..I feel the primer intensified the colour. I doesn't cover, but it does disguise and kinda adds a fake tan look without face tanning or using bronzer coz my face is paler than my body. Also...when I didn't use primer before it, my skin would suck up the moisturiser when I did my night routine...so is this product moisturising?...maybe...maybe not...hard to really say. But I think it is definitely just a step better than a tinted moisture with terms of what is does and how it applies.

I generally have oily skin but while pregnant my skin tends to dry out and get lots of break outs so I went with the normal skin type and light shade. The bb cream has a thick consistency, once blended it seemed to make my face look really shiney which I didn't like at all. In saying that I loved how once blended it felt really light on my face. It didn't cover my blemishes which was unfortunate as I have a few, I used a powder over top to hide those spots. Loved the fruity smell of it. It doesn't last all day and I did have to reapply but I didn't mind that as it felt refreshing to reapply with that yummy scent. The packaging is good just what I'd expect from a bb cream. Would recommend it to some one who is looking for a light coverage bb cream, for those days you don't feel like getting all your make up out. Overall good product would get it again.

I was very excited to trial and review the garnier bb cream I was given the medium shade which blended well with my natural skin colouring, I found I got a better, even coverage using my finger tips more than a brush or sponge. I don't believe it has true 24 hour coverage but it definitely withstood the entire day, I used it with a light bronzer as an alternative to foundation for a day and was pleased with the results. Couldn't use it on the pms days as it enhanced the hormonal skin breakout. I also found it to have a slight oily texture while applying but once blended I couldn't tell I was wearing it. I would probably buy again but it's not on my must have in my makeup bag list. Like the fact it has SPF 15 in it would be better if it was SPF 30 though. It's definitely worth trying as it looks different on every one, I did like the fact that no one could tell I was wearing make up with it.

I have updated my review. I have given BB cream a second chance and I am starting to like it.

I have never used BB cream so I was really excited and grateful for the chance. The packaging made me a little cautious as all bitsy on the front and looked like you could pull a lable off but you couldn't. I don't want to be rude about the packaging but it looks like when you buy a 'knock off' from certain shops. I expected to find paper instructions inside the packaging but everything is jam packed, printed on the packaging itself. I don't like the lid. It is very messy on the inside after each use. We are all use to our own moisturiser and foundation and for me I found the BB cream very thin when applying but after using for several weeks now, I am getting use to it. The BB Cream went on my face dewy so I found my appearance to be oily/shiny. The BB Cream takes a while to settle in to my face, whic I can find frustrating. I tried with moisturiser, BB then foundation, just BB then foundation and BB on it's own. I do not have a lot of time in the morning to let the BB cream settle in to my face but I am starting to find a routine to allow this to happen. I do like the sweet, fruit fragrance, almost like the smell of Peach Ice tea. During the trial I thought the BB cream did not give me the coverage I expected (impatient expecting miracle in a bottle) straight away. On it's own, I still needed to use concealer or foundation. BB cream did not last on my face all day either. Several weeks laster, I am still working out if BB cream is making a difference under my foundation. I think it is making my appearance look smoother.

This was my first try at using a BB Cream. My skin is quite normal but I have natural red cheeks and freckles. I was hoping for it to cover my red cheeks but it only what I would call dimmed them. The consistency was thicker than what I thought it would be. I just used my fingertips to apply and it was very easy apart from having to wash your hands after. The packaging was a bit stiff to get it out, it took a good squeeze. It does look very pretty tho. I found that it would come off during the day but a lot came off when I washed at night. I think it was good. I don't see how it could be like moisturiser when its so think but that's just me :)
