Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

I have never tried this cream before so was quite unsure how it would work on my skin. When the cream comes out it shows a white texture and you think to yourself how does this match your skin tone. To my surprise, it actually did. I tried different ways of applying this to my skin. First was direct to my face then the other way i tried was placing it on the outside of my hand and mixing this before applying to my face. I found applying the cream directly to your face was the best way in my opinion. You place this on areas you want to cover and then rub the cream in. I found it very easy to apply. It was not heavy and thick on your skin like some brands can be. It actually made my skin feel a bit refreshed. I found it lasted on my face all day long which was great. It looked natural and didnt look like I had piles of make up on. I found this to be a great product.

I like to wear a little something-something on my skin if I'm leaving the house on non-makeup days, I usually go for a tinted moisturiser.

I found this BB cream a bit of a revelation! It is so light and feels like an invisible veil on the face. It definitely feels more like a lotion than a bb cream or coverage product.

It evens out blemishes and definitely smooths my skin. It adds a bit of colour, without being heavy. And it neutralises red skin amazinngly!

Really recommend.

I really wanted to love this product as I thought it would be great for the summer months ahead, but I was left feeling disappointed. I tried this BB cream several times but just could not find a way for it to work for me. When applied after my regular daily moisturiser it just clumped up on my skin and shed off, so I removed it and started again this time without moisturiser. When used without moisturiser, I found that it just sat on top of my skin and appeared patchy, making my skin look dry - I have normal skin, very rarely have dry patches. I first applied with my fingers as it says on the box to apply as you would apply a moisturiser. I then tried to apply using a brush as if I was using a foundation, thinking it would blend in a little better but was disappointed to find this wasn't working either. I did really like how it felt very light on my skin as if I was only wearing a moisturiser. It has a pleasant fresh scent, and the SPF 15 is a bonus too, although you definitely need to use a sunscreen as well. The BB cream partially does what it says it would as it adds a lovely healthy looking glow to your skin when applied thinly. However, it doesn't give much coverage and almost has an orange tinge to it, so would not work for anyone with paler skin than mine.

I wasn't a fan of this BB cream, even though it says that it matches all shades of skin I found it very orange (similar to the other Garnier BB creams). It also had quite a strong smell, and as I have sensitive skin I prefer cosmetics without fragrances. I also found that it didn't provide much coverage for blemishes etc. I wouldn't really recommend for anyone (unless you're an oompa loompa!)

I was really excited to try this product because I have seen another on the market before where it is a universal shade! I know BB creams are more on the lighter coverage side, but I have used many BB creams in my time and this one was definitely more on the "natural" side and felt as though it didn't really give much coverage to what I am usually happy with from a BB cream. This would be suitable for someone who prefers a VERY natural coverage with SPF! I was concerned with how it stated "transforms to match skin tone" as I usually fake tan (my body, not my face), and also my face is so much paler than my body normally anyway because I try to protect my face from the sun. So I usually wear a BB cream that is SLIGHTLY a darker shade than my face colour, to match my neck and rest of my body. This surprisingly matched to my neck and body quite well! My face wasn't as pale as I had anticipated it would be with the "self adjusting" shade. I do have a more yellow undertone in my skin, so I am not sure if it would suit all skin tones if this is what happens for everyone? Overall I was unfortunately disappointed with the product for my own personal use as an everyday BB cream, as it didn't give me a "flawless healthy glow". I would probably only use this product in the summer if I was swimming at the beach/lake. Something easy to throw on and give my face a little bit of colour while protecting it with the SPF, and I can throw it on as soon as I dry off from a swim too.

Well they weren't lying when they called it a 'skin perfector'!

When using this BB cream my skin looks and feels amazing. I don't have particularly bad skin, its just a little sallow, and if I don't use a light base product, I look, well, a bit like a corpse.

This starts off white, then turns, dare I say it, a bit orangey. But fear not - it will blend to match your skin tone!

It's so light, yet leaves skin glowy and healthy looking.

I think for the price you'd be hard pushed to find a better BB Cream!

I was really excited to trial this product as I've been incredibly curious about the increasing number of products available that claim to match a range of skin tones.

I figured seeing as I'm a neutral palette and a fairly standard shade (mid tone in summer, down a couple shades in winter) I should be pretty easy to match. Boy was I wrong!

This bb cream pulled very orange on me, and ultimately sat about 3 shades darker than my winter tone (so I'm guessing about 1 shade darker than my summer tone). I'll be interested to see if it's a better match in summer or if it goes darker again, but the whole point was for it to match me which it definitely didn't deliver on.

The finish was nice, very natural, although to the point of not covering any but the absolute slightest blemishes - a little more coverage would be welcome.

The application left a little to be desired, too. My favourite thing about bb creams is being able to smear it on with fingers quickly and pretty haphazardly while running out the door, which you can't do with this - applying it too quickly or vigorously makes the product pill under your fingers which looks and feels awful.

Overall, a definite miss for me.

I was excited to try this bb cream as I stopped using bb cream a few years ago .I have to say was not impressed. Tried to do an extra layer and it went clumpy. Didnt have as much coverage as I would have liked either .might be because of the sunscreen. Would not buy again

I love a good BB cream and have tried so many with varying results. I saw this in the Vault and decided to give it a go. It comes in a handy squeezy tube with a flip top lid. There is no shade selection. It is a universal colour and goes on white then adjusts to your skin tone. I am pale so always go for fair/light so I didn't know how well this would work for me.

The smell is so overpowering, it is not necessary to have a BB cream to smell like that and I thought uh oh is this going to be horrible for my sensitive skin, I got slight stinging upon application so maybe do a patch test first.

You only need to squeeze out a small amount, it is white and quite thick then as soon as you put it on your face it changes colour, supposedly to the colour of your skin. On me it went a lovely shade of orange lol.  It was extra orange under my chin which was odd. The coverage is awful, it has a weird gluggy consistency which I found hard to rub in. It started balling up over my moisturiser.

This is one of the worst BB creams I have ever used. Do yourself a favour and try something else.

I usually don’t mind a cheap garnier bb cream but sadly I didn’t love this one. It was cheap and readily available which I like as can grab at most supermarkets or the warehouse etc.. but I won’t be doing that again.

I have had luck with garnier so wasn’t too worried but this looks terrible on the skin and the formula itself isn’t that nice to apply. It’s sad as being a bb cream I want easy and quick application. I usually wear a bb every day so to get lumped with this was a shame.

I am having to try and find inventive ways to mix and use it up but I have given up and biffed this one. Usually I mix with a sunscreen but it’s proving too hard as the cream itself doesn’t mix well with the sunscreen.

It left my skin cakey with that I’m wearing lots of make up look which isn’t what I’m after.. a bb cream should be quite flawless and natural this isn’t that so it’s a formula I wouldn’t purchase again. As I was applying it was rolling up and rubbing off under my fingers rather than seamlessly blending in and it gave me a lot of patches giving my skin the orange look.

Sadly I wouldn’t purchase this formula again but I have had luck with some of their other bb creams so not all is lost.
