Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

My skin over the last few years has become so sensitive and would react or cause major breakouts when I used foundation. This B.B. cream has just the perfect amount of coverage throughout the day ,and it doesn’t irritate my skin or cause Unwanted breakouts even with daily use. Love this B.B. it is my makeup bag essential.any definitely gets daily use.

I find it really difficult to get products that go with my light to medium olive skin. I don't have a tan all year round and so often find that "medium" skin products are too dark. I also find that with an olive complexion I need a more yellow tone too. I love this product as it's actually almost a perfect match to my skin. I even was told by a make up artist at a very well known beauty brand counter that it was a good match! My skin is prone to reacting to different products so I find this sensitive formula works really well. It's not to oily or greasy and the coverage is light to medium. It provides a good base for foundation. I use it every day with or without foundation as it definitely improves my overall skin appearance without any other make up on.

I found when using the Garnier BB cream that it did not settle nicely into my skin and was quite hard to work into my skin as well. it did however add a sheer layer of coverage.

I tried this a while ago when I was using fake tan and experiencing a little skin irritation with my normal foundation.

The BB cream gives quite a sheer coverage and I found the medium was a little dark even when tanned, so I ended up mixing it with a lighter foundation, which also made the product last longer.

But the main issue I had with this product is that on my skin it seemed to go patchy.

In terms of sensitive skin, I found that my issue in the end was more the tanner so I can't comment on how it really works for sensitive skin. But it was comfortable to wear.

I definitely didn't find it corrected blemishes though.

I've used an expensive BB cream in the past and yes my skin looked flawless after applying my full makeup (for an hour or so!). One, I don't have all day to wait for products to dry. Two, after a few hours of having flawless skin/make up, it began to cake (I'm going to do a separate review on this product). It did weird things to my foundation, I'm closer to 40 now and I can't have my makeup looking blotchy, patchy and defining my wisdom lines - yikes! So to the bottom of my makeup bag that product went.

The good review, I've been using this product for 5 years or so (please don't tell me it's only be out for 3, it feels like 5 years or more?!).

Love this product, the medium blend sits well with my olive complexion. Smooths out any red patches and enhances my natural skin tone. I use daily, either with full makeup or if I'm just popping to the shop. It has become my second skin. It's not heavily perfumed, doesn't feel heavy once applied and doesn't cake my foundation.

So it maybe a cheaper product, but definitely one to have in your makeup bag.

like it says ,its designed for dry and sensitive skin , very soothing and has spf25 in it which is very good , it will be a little bit oily after a few hours if you have oily skin .

Was pleasantly surprised upon testing this out . Was stoked to find the shade suited me almost perfectly . I have shade light and this is not orange or anything at all -think it would suit most skin types . I have dry/sensitive skin as this was so moisturising probably the most creamy BB cream I have tried and isn't runny-nice consistency. I must admit , the coverage is light but that's how it's meant to be . So nice for days you don't want heavy makeup but want a nice glow -very dewy and makes you look healthy. Even wore to the gym , expecting it to not last but it did?! Definitely will reuse and great for the price tag as well.

I really wanted to like this because I'm trying to transition to lighter coverage instead of foundation, but it really did nothing for my skin. I'll start off by saying that I am pretty pale with yellow/warm undertones and have combination and sometimes acne prone skin.

Coverage: This is definitely for those who already have fairly good to very good skin in terms of breakouts. This doesn't cover major imperfections but mainly just works like a tinted moisturiser to even out skin tone.

Colour: I honestly wasn't suprised that it came out quite dark. I'm yet to find a bb cream for pale skin that is actually pale! The colour does even out well but tends to oxidize during the day. I gave a bit to my friend to try who is 2-3 shades darker than me and more tan and she found it perfect, so definitely not for pale girls like myself (N15-N20)

Lasting power: Because the coverage is so sheer I couldn't really tell if it stayed all day or not. It did go a bit shiny but that may just be my skin type.

Overall: This product is for girls with warmer skintones and good skin overall. It provides a sheer coverage that basically just evens skin tone. It would be a good product for summer or regular days but not for those who like fuller coverage like myself.
