The Garnier Miracle BB Cream

I had a bit of a funny time with this product, it's targeted towards sensitive skin but when I applied it, I had a slight reaction to it. My skin was tingly but took about 10 mins to disappear. I naturally have combination, dry and sensitive skin with just a couple blemishes. I found this product to have a thick mousey texture that covered basic redness but didn't do much for blemishes. I applied it both with fingers and with a brush, I found that fingers made for a quick application and it worked better because the product warmed up and melted more into the skin. The Garnier Miracle BB Cream wasn't hydrating but it didn't cling to dry patches, it had almost a silicone texture throughout the day and set quickly. The fragrance wasn't offensive at all and it lasted well for about 5 hours if I didn't touch my face. I think the price point is good for the type of product and the packaging reflects that. Underneath foundation, it did look a bit heavy so I would recommend use on it's own. I don't think this will be my go-to product because it wasn't as hydrating as I would have liked and it didn't cover my blemishes.

Tips: Rub the BB cream into the skin with fingers to melt the product in and help it sit better, then on areas such as cheeks and nose, pat more product so you get more coverage where you need it.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream- Sensitive

Great product, very smooth and velvety feeling. As i have very dry and sensitive skin and my skin is unpredictable at the best of times some days i found i could wear this alone and was great other days when i wore it and my skin was particularly dry it peeled much like foundation around nose and lip areas. It is great for sensitive skin it didnt appear to irritate my skin. But overall i found this product to be great.

Tips: Apply moisturizer or coconut oil as moisturizer let soak in if you have very dry skin as this helps it to not peel as much and to make it a bit more fuller in coverage apply a tinted pressed powder over it.

Lots for your money

The first thing i noticed about this product was that it glides on so easy that i didn't have to use much of the product. It smells alright but smells a little like sunscreen. Has a light coverage which is good for my sensitive skin and doesn't agitate it. A great everyday makeup

Tips: Could perhaps make it smell more perfumed and add different coverage levels as I would probably not use this as going out make up, more like everyday makeup.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Sensitive

•The packaging - standard Garnier packaging, easy to recognise branding and identify the Company that produces the product. Comes in a tube - boxed.

•The price - Price is fair I think as it is not too expensive and it is a good addition to your makeup bag - however not a replacement for foundation.

Product Performance - when I first used this product it stung my skin. This calmed down after about half an hour. I found that the next time I tried the product I did not experience stinging in my skin. The product did give my skin a slight dewy look - however I did not think that the coverage was heavy enough to correct blemishes or even the skin tone. It was better at doing this if used with a Primer however not without. Good for a day look - not appropriate for a more heavy/evening look.

The product - Garnier's BB cream has a texture similar to a moisturiser crossed with a mousse foundation. It goes on light and does not feel heavy on the skin. It is more a tinted moisturiser as opposed to a foundation replacement. It has a nice light scent.

•Does it stand out from similar products? It is a good BB cream and is comparative to other products - I would not say it stands above other similar products.

Tips: Use with primer and powder foundation on top for a more blemish correcting/ skin tone even finish

Absolutely Blown Away

Am absolutely in love with Garnier BB Cream. i have sensitive and acne-prone skin, and it is often hard to find products that suit me, especially with UV protection! I've been using it daily for the last 10 days, and had no break outs and no reaction, which is amazing for me! It's really easy to use - after washing my face in the morning, I apply it with my fingertips, and it absorbs really easily, and gives great coverage. No need for a foundation brush here! It's light enough for every day, the hint of colour lasts all day and hides all those little imperfections. I've ditched my face primer, and just use the BB Cream under my foundation. it gives a really smooth, even base, and the foundation doesn't fall of it either. Overall, I think I have found my new go-to beauty product. Can't believe how great this is, and the low price means it will never be far from my makeup bag

Good all rounder

At first I found that it felt a little greasy on my face but as time went on I found it got more comfortable to wear. I loved the fact that this product covers well but still looks natural. Was great for my sensitive skin too. Good value for money I think.

Tips: I only put a double layer on places that needed it rather than the whole face. It felt a bit too heavy when using using two layers all over.

Garnier bb cream

It didn't match my skin tone very well and started to go orange, then it was peeling off halfway through the day.. It's thick and creamy and applies easy but doesn't provide good coverage. Has no fragrance, Finish is matte. Is cheap but not worth it in my opinion. Packaging was good. Wouldn't recommend to a friend.

Tips: Don't use too much or it starts to peel and look horrible

Very hydrating and no reaction

I have very sensitive skin and my skin did not react at all to this product. I found it very hydrating with a nice creamy texture. I used it during my recent holiday to the US and it was nice to wear something light instead of full foundation. It gave a lovely bright and fresh colour, dampening down my red cheeks. However, the make up coverage only lasts for a couple of hours (particularly in warm weather), so if you're wanting to cover any spots or flaws I'd recommend also using a concealer. It works quite similar to a tinted moisturiser, but added benefit is that it has an SPF. The product would be worth having in your makeup bag for weekend or holiday-use where you don't want to have full coverage. I'd rather use something heavier for work.

Tips: Apply every couple of hours during warm weather.

At what points does BB become foundation?

My Skin Type: Im dry like the Sahara with a few dry patches around my nose area. To combat this I’m a bit of a product junkie and so this product is applied on top of serums, moisturiser AND a primer.

For me a BB needs to lean more towards the moisturiser side rather than foundation.

With the Garnier BB cream lets be real… This is a foundation. Straight up. It is a VERY thick formula. Much more so than any other foundation I own. Because of this thickness I applied with a synthetic buffing brush and blended til it felt like me arm was going to fall off.

Application was good, no noticeable areas of patchiness. But this is ORANGE. I have the shade medium which has a very strong orange undertone that made it unwearable for me during the day. When wearing it at night I had to take it all down my neck, over my ears etc etc just to blend in.

This smells like sunscreen which is expected from a BB cream. Its not unpleasant but noticeable.

Coverage is medium. Much better than I expected from a BB, so much so that for me it crossed the line into foundation town. The thickness, the application needed to blend it, the coverage… it’s a foundation.

With that in mind, I reviewed this as such. For a foundation lasting power was ok, a good few hours wear but by the end of the day it was clinging to my dry patches. Would I reach for It over my regular foundations? No. Would it do if I didn’t have anything else? Yes.

The big positive of this is that the finish is really lovely. Satin and skinlike with a nice glow. If you have normal skin this will look beautiful.

The BB aka Foundation comes in a sqeezy tube which gives good value for money (as you can get every drop) but it made it easy to push out too much. Surprised it runs so cheap! Good value for money – a nice choice for a first timer in the foundation world.

I don’t think the product does what it says – mostly because it isn’t skincare with a touch of foundation; its foundation with a touch of skincare. Having not worn this product for a long enough time I can’t speak to whether any of the skincare claims stand up. Nor is it easy to talk about the sensitive factor as I have nothing to really compare it with. In saying that, I didn’t have any adverse reaction nor did it break me out.

Overall it’s a nice foundation; not the best I’ve tried but also not the worst. It isn’t a BB cream.

Garnier, don’t put BB on the packaging just for the marketing hype… Thanks.

Tips: Synthetic brush to apply but make sure you reeeeeaaallllyyy blend it in.

Compared to other Garnier BB creams Ive used I thought this was very watery. What shade were you using? I wonder if that makes a difference? Mine was light
