Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

I was so excited to try this as I currently use Maybellines B.B. cream in medium, and have used Garniers BB cream but found it wayyy to orange. It was odd first seeing that the cream was white but amazed me when I rubbed the cream between my fingers and the pigments changed a nice light beige colour. I applied the B.B. cream every morning using my fingers but found that it didn’t have much coverage at all even after a second application, it also made my face shiny throughout the day. I thought it might make a good moisturiser with the SPF rating if only it didn’t cause the shine. It did smell good though!

Im a big fan of Bb creams because they're light and fresh feeling without feeling like theyre clogging your pores. However although this one felt great on, the lack of coverage was quite disappointing, compared to other BB creams ive used.

I was excited to try this BB cream as off on a beach holiday and thought it would be great. Has a very subtle scent and when you squeeze it out of the container, it comes out white. I used this over my moisturiser but found it didn't blend into my skin very well. It provides a light coverage and it says on the container that you can apply two coats but after one coat my skin had a yellowy tinge. I found it was a bit spotchy and you needed to be extra careful when blending around eyebrows as it was quite patchy. It's not a product I would wear for complete coverage but would be fine during a summers day. I did put a translucent powder over the top to try blend my skin tones. I took it off and put on my normal foundation for going out last night.

The cream is very oily and rubbed off on clothing, but offers great sun protection, and gives a beautiful glow.

This BB cream had a really nice smell and lovely consistency on the skin, it didn't feel too sticky straight after applying and I liked that it was very sheer and water based for these hot summers. I think this BB cream would be great for wearing at the beach when you want something light on your skin. I loved that it was SPF as well. I also loved that you could apply this onto your face without the use of makeup brushes. However, there were some cons for me with this BB cream. I didn't like how it was white out of the tube and then changed color onto the skin because I couldn't really see where I was putting it. This BB cream also went orange on my light-medium skintone and got into my hairline and eyebrows. It also made my eyes sting like crazy, I'm not sure why as I've never had this before, perhaps a allergic reaction??? After wearing it for a full day my face did go quite oily

I love BB creams. I use them pretty much every day because of the light consistency. I was excited to be picked for this trial but unfortunately I feel a bit underwhelmed with the product.

I have very pale skin and when I put this product on my face it immediately went bright orange. I had to blend and blend, essentially blending it to nothing to try to get rid of the orange colour but the colour still managed to get into my hair line and eyebrows. I also found that this product grabbed a bit to my dry skin patches which is strange for a BB cream.

The product does feel light on the skin and does give the skin a bit of a glow which is nice. The smell is not offensive and the consistency is good, not too oily.

I would consider this product as having very minimal coverage as I had to blend it to essentially no coverage to get ride of most of the orange tinge.

I'm going to keep trying this product to see if there's a way I can make it work better for me. I'm curious if adding moisturiser of shade adjusting drops would make it better for my skin tone.

I think I would recommend this product to someone not as pale as me and perhaps not with dry patches.

I received this product in the Top To Toe BBBE box. I was so looking forward to using it as I have had some pleasing results from other brands. So, it comes out white and weirdly turns orange...even though it is for light skin. The texture is nice once it dries. For me, the drying process took so long and made my skin feel quite clammy. I am persevering with this under a lighter foundation and it appears to be a nice base when used like this, however it's just too much effort when a BB cream should be a slap and go kind of product. I won't be repurchasing this item, not until they dropped the orange tone to it.

I got this BB cream in a BBBE (I think) but didn't take any notice of it until I happened to notice the advert on TV and thought, "hmmm, so that's what it does?". So then I dug it out and started using it.

The product comes in a simple plastic tube. It is a thick white cream, which is surprising in itself. Once applied to skin, it changes colour to look like a normal BB cream or foundation. So it does this quite well, except that is looks streaky and needs a close up mirror and a lot of blending to make sure it's even. That's still fine, but I notice it's quite orange which is odd on my very pale skin. It comes off looking a bit like fake tan in the end. My friends did comment that it looks fresh and bright though. I did notice it doesn't cover imperfections, so works better with a CC cream underneath.

I has a nice subtle scent, which doesn't really matter in a BB cream, but better that than a horrid smell!

I don't think I'll purchase it again, mainly because of the streaking and the orange glow.

I don't get how you can get "flawless coverage" with this product it has virtually zero coverage at all Extremely sheer "Natural coverage" is what it said on my box which is more truthful. I like the idea of how healthy for your skin this product sounds it provides a little sun protection but it shouldn't replace a sunscreen. This product bis scented it's not unpleasant it feels like a moisturizer comes out white then changed on my skin but I wasn't impressed at all. The tint looked a bit orangey it was patchy and looked like I applied fake tan to my face. It also feels a tad greasy you probably don't need to apply moisturizer to your face unless you have really dry skin. Like that it doesn't clogg pores up and that you could skip moisturizer but it is too sheer for me more of a cc cream I have tried other BB creams with alot better coverage both from this brand and others. I won't be buying this again. I guess you could mix this with your foundation for a lighter coverage or to make a more yellowy tone if day your foundation was too pink. Be careful not to get this stuff in your eye! You could try putting powder over the top I'm sure it would stick to it. It's affordable but definitely not for me
