I've never used a BB cream before so was very happy to be part of this trial. I tried this cream a few different ways to see how it would work best for me, I'm Personal Trainer so don't need a full face of make-up but still need good coverage and I need a product that will last.
The box it comes with was very detailed, But I can not comment on the effectiveness of this cream over a four week period, however I am interested to see if if it does indeed do what it says it does.
I found the bottle with the large flip top lid a bit clumsy and the first times I used it to much came out, you don't need to use as much of it like you do with foundation.
My first go with the cream was to use it just as a foundation, it's so nice to apply it glides on with no trouble at all, I found it blends very well too, I did need to put two layers on for more coverage like it says on the box, which did not leave me looking like I had put to much on at all, again it blended very well it deffently gave more coverage but still not quite what I was use to, the colour match was perfect, and it did give me an amazing glow to my face which I truly loved, I found however it didn't last, about two hours later I needed to redo my makeup, maybe it's the kind of job I have??
The next day I used it as a primer and for me this was amazing, my skin is not perfect so as a foundation it didn't cut it but as a primer I was blown away it really nourished my skin and after my 6 hours on the gym floor my makeup still looked good.
Overall I think this product is pretty good if you have skin that has light flaws or younger skin it would be perfect on its own, it really is so easy to use it hydrates and illuminates your skin, it did even the appearance just not as much as I'm used to, would I buy this again? Yes I would to use as a primer and I really am so interested if Inwill notice any changes after 4 weeks.
When I first received this BB Cream I was super excited to try it. I have quite sensitive skin and my foundation often drys out my skin so I was excited to try a product specifically formulated for sensitive skin. This product worked great on my skin and didn't irritate it or dry it out. It also has SPF 15 so it would be a good BB cream for the summertime. I found the coverage great when you first apply, but unfortunately that did not last too long. Throughout the day I saw the coverage get much worse as the product came off and found myself having to reapply. I am a big fan of the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream and do not have this problem usually. With all this aside, the Garnier BB cream worked great with my skin and I will continue to use it as a base for my foundation on those days when I need more coverage. The packaging of this product is simple yet convenient. It is a good size for travelling and is in a tube which makes it easy to get the product out!
Tips: To keep this BB cream looking great all day, try setting it with your favourite powder.
