Good Value For Money

If you’re like me and you would like to save some cash while out beauty shopping (I know that doesn’t always work though…) then I would recommend you get this product. I was a BB newB (if I can play with words, lol) when I started using this product. I had ordered Lioele TTS a couple of months ago and never got to use it because the couriers didn’t deliver it, but that’s another story.

This story however, makes for a pretty decent ending. Garnier is a good, reputable brand, known over the world as a household name, and this product lives up to its standards. A little goes a long way, and yes, I am talking about the amount you put on your face. Just a drop is more than enough! I’d treat this as I treat a moisturizer.

The smell is what you’d expect it to smell like, a mix between a moisturizer and a foundation – and probably Granny too! It doesn’t necessarily smell bad, but it’s a smell I would have to get used to again.

The coverage is medium, I think a bit sheer, but it does make for an even complexion. It’s not entirely matte, but not dewy either, which was a bit off a put-off for me, because I am a full matte girl when it comes to foundations, but I just pop a bit of loose powder over it and that fixes my issues!

Overall, this is a good product. I think a 50ml tube would last you about two months from what I have gathered only using a drop or two at a time, which makes for a good, affordable product.

Tips: Just put on a drop at a time, you can always add more later on. I made the mistake of putting on way too much the first day and that didn't work. You end up wasting the product too. Treat this as you treat your moisturizer!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Sensitiv

I Absolutely loved using the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Sensitive on my skin. My skin is dehydrated, sensitive and has also recently had outbreaks but since using this product it has rehydrated my skin as well as giving me natural coverage covering up spots and uneven skin tone. I love how smooth the cream rubs in and doesn't leave streaks once applied. The packaging suits all age types, easy application and simple instructions. I would definitely recommend to others and will continue using this!

Tips: A small bit goes along way! Love my Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

Thanks Beauty Review

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Sensitiv

The consistency of the BB cream is quite thick and because I have quite dry skin, it was quite difficult to blend out the BB cream and looked quite patchy at times. However once on the face it didn't feel too heavy. Because of the consistency, I tried applying it with my fingers, hoping to warm up the product before application, however that didn't seem to help. I found that it has quite a sheer coverage and did nothing to cover any blemishes. I got the product in medium, and I found that it was looked a little too orangey on my skin. It also claims to reduce redness and moisturise the skin for up to 24 hours, which I did not find to be true. However on a positive note, it did not break me out or irritate my skin.

The product doesn't have any particular scent, and the packaging was made it easy to dispense the right amount.

I would not recommend this product for those with dark pigmentation or blemishes, but this may be more suitable for those that have naturally god skin and only require sheer coverage.

Tips: The BB cream was too thick for my liking, and not moisturising enough, so I mixed the BB cream with some moisturising cream and found that it gave me a smoother application and reduced patchiness.

BB Cream

As I work in retail, I really need a concealer that does several jobs in one. To cover redness and acne, to evenly cover my skin, and to last a full, active, often sweaty shift. I felt this product didn't really work for my needs. Yes, it was easy to apply and felt smooth on my skin, but it didn't fully cover my redness and acne bits. A good second coat was needed, plus more for the stubborn red bits. I like that the product had a decent amount included. It's more suited for a casual sort of day. There was no overpowering smell, or any 'chemical' feel that was too harmful to my skin.

RECOMMENDED BB Cream

Now, my skin is difficult to work with because of how sensitive it is and it is flakey everyday, buy if i moisterise, my face starts showing pimples. When it comes to foundations, i just can't seem to get it right, they're either too cakey, or they just feel heavy but I found that this BB cream is very light and very helpful with my pigment. I've been using BB cream sensitive for nearly a whole week now and ever since I've used this, my skin has been hydrated and smooth all day and night. This BB cream lasts all day and is nice and shiney. I love this so much, I wouldn't use anything else :))

Garnier BB

I struggle to decide how I feel about this BB cream. I put it on in the morning and it glided on smoothly. The colour was great and the coverage was nice and light. However even though I set it with a powder, it barely stayed on my skin. I have dry skin that tends to hold foundation in place but this would come off on everything which is a pain when you work with children. The packaging was nice and simple and the bottle is a great size for travelling. The BB had a nice fragrance that wasn't too strong and really just smelled like a moisturiser It didn't irritate my skin which is nice but because it was so high maintenance during the day I would rather just not wear any makeup. I will still most likely use it in summer at the beach because it did moisturise nicely but just not something I can wear to work.

Tips: Use your fingers to apply as it is sheer coverage and would be buffed away with a brush. Also try powdering before applying to help it stick to the skin.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

As someone with very dry and sensitive skin BB creams have been a savior for me. Most days I'll wear my regular BB cream on it's own or I'll use it underneath foundation to add dewiness and give extra coverage.

This Garnier BB cream has a nice thick, creamy consistency which was very moisturising and non-reactive once on the skin. Also, for a fragrance free product it did still smell really nice and fresh. The coverage was quite light - it evened out my skin-tone but did not cover any of my spots/dark circles. After a bit of trial and error I eventually worked to get the the best finish use a buffing brush to make sure that the coverage is even all over. If you can get it on right, it will leave you with really beautiful glowing skin. Another bonus is that the packaging has lots of useful information on it and the actual container is really easy to get product out of so you can get every last drop.

My biggest problem with this product is the longevity and the colour. While I understand this isn't designed to be a long wearing product I really wished that it would have lasted more than 3 or 4 hours on it's own. Even under foundation it doesn't noticeably improve the longevity. There also isn't a big enough range to be suitable for a lot of people. I chose the medium shade and I found it way too orange to look natural, especially since it oxidized really badly on my skin after about 10 minutes. As someone with a more warm, light olive skin tone this shade did not work on me at all. I'd recommend the medium shade for people with a more neutral/cool skin tone and are quite tanned.

Unfortunately these problems lead me to not want to use to product on it's own at all. For the first 10 minutes it really does look nice, but I'm saving this BB cream to use as a base under my foundations instead. This didn't live up to all it's claims either - it didn't really reduce redness or correct my blemishes but it did hydrate, illuminate and give good UV protection. If this was a better colour and was longer-wearing then I really would have loved it.

Overall, this is a good product for people with fairly blemish-free skin and more neutral/cool skin tone, just make sure you buff in well and check that it hasn't oxidised after it's set. Really good for people with dry skin too, I will continue to use this as a base just for the added coverage and dewiness it gives. Personally though, I will not be re-purchasing nor would I pay the $17 for it.

Tips: Use this BB cream underneath foundation to add dewiness and give extra coverage. Also make sure you use a buffing brush to make sure the product is spread out evenly and doesn't look patchy.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Sensitiv

Was pleasantly surprised by this product. I have tried BB creams in the past and found them either ineffective with little coverage or irritating to my skin. The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream has possibly changed my overall opinion though.

To start with I was very pleased to see the product contained no fragrance as that is always personally been the worst offender for skin reactions and an eczema flare.

The cream was easy to apply and I found a little went a long way. I have pretty good skin other than slight hyper-pigmentation and the fact it is incredibly sensitive so the coverage was just right and I had no need for a foundation or concealer. I did however still finish with a bit of mineral powder as the cream sat a little obviously in places on my nose and eyelids. Was a bit disappointed too that it wasn't a particularly long-lasting cream and I did need to reapply halfway through the day.

Not a perfect product but it certainly sped up my routine, gave me absolutely no issues with skin reactions and the light-consistency was pleasant to apply. Would probably purchase again and will be keeping an eye on future developments with interest. I'd recommend it to all with generally clear skin and who are after something simple and speedy to add to their skincare repertoire.

Tips: The cream comes out of the tube rather quickly and you really don't need a lot so be careful with squeezing.

Mixed Review

I have sensitive skin, not extremely sensitive but I am weary of what I put on my skin, I have had a few reactions. when I first opened the BB cream it is a thick consistency. My thought were that this would be a great product as it will stay on and I will have the coverage that I want. I was really disappointed as the day went on I was aware of the coverage fading, unless I did a touch up the end of the day I would be back to bare skin. I would recommend it as a quick way of getting a few hours of cover for heading to the beach as it has the SPF in it which is good but for every day use I would not recommend it.

Tips: The package says to suggests to apply the product twice, that I found gave you a a few hours more of coverage, but still not as long as it is meant to.

So far this product has done most everything it says on the box. I've found this product to be very easy to use, just squeeze a small amount onto your fingertips and rub it in! couldn't be simpler. I don't have majorly sensitive skin but have dermatitis that flares up often if I use anything too harsh or fragrances. This fits the bill for my skin.

In the past I've been a real fan of matte make up finish but after using this bb cream I'm starting to rethink this attitude. If I could get a bit more coverage but the same finish as this I think I would be exceptionally happy - my skin has never looked so good :)

I found 2 flaws with this product in that 1: You only get one chance to get it right, don't think you'll be able to apply another layer without ending up with a patchy mess and 2: The coverage is very sheer. All in all it's not the product for me, as although it's easy to apply and I like the smooth consistency of the product there's no point in me using it as some parts of my skin are very red and just to seem shine through so I'm better off using a foundation rather than a bb cream. Such a shame as my skin seriously seems to glow once I've got this on.

Tips: I recommend this product for ladies with skin that just needs a little boost - if you have any major redness the coverage won't be enough.
