Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

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.

On face value I loved the premise of this BB cream. I loved the thought of it being self adjusting. On me however it has too much of an orange undertone. I have gone back to my previous BB cream

So the packaging was similar to other Garnier products I have used. I really liked the size of the tube and thought how great it would be to pop into my handbag. Upon squeezing out the first sample..it smelled great! Was a little odd that it was white bit when I rubbed it between my fingers I could see the colour developing. Now my face...it felt a little more greasy than I expected and didn’t really give me any coverage all my redness and blemishes were still clearly visible. The instructions said to try another coat for more coverage so I did and while the coverage was a little better, my face now felt very heavy. The moisturiser worked well and my skin was well hydrated all day if not a little too much. Conclusion In all I like the idea of the product but I didn’t feel it delivered what I wanted from it. I don’t think i’ll be purchasing it in the future as I think therebare better options on the market already.

I was so excited when I read the word Garnier BB cream nude. The excitement was short lived this is unfortunately just too orange for my skin even with all the blending in the world. I was disappointed as the formula has supposedly been developed with micro-pigments to match your skin tone upon application. The product comes in a easy to use squeezy tube. The cream is initially white and then changing colour once applied. I really liked the creamy thick texture it felt nice and moisturisng going on but I couldn't wear it for very long.

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've tried a few different BB creams, as well as a few that claim to have self-adjusting pigments. This is another failure!

Color: this product comes out white, looks kind of like a skin cream. But when on the face, it changes to an orange muddy colour. It doesn't match any of my concealers and I have to be extra careful to get it right up to my ear line so there's not gaps in colour. This would be fine for someone with darker skin tone than mine but just doesn't work for me, even now it's summer.

Smell: a light non-offensive smell that doesn't bother me.

Packaging: I like that it is in a tube. This means you're not scooping the product out of a jar, leading to potential bacteria entry. Comes out of the tube evenly, and I normally squirt some on a clean hand then use a brush from there.

Other pros: the finish is dewy, but definitely not full coverage. I tried this for work and still had some on at the end of the day, so the staying power isn't too bad. It's a good price point, if you're med-darker skin and it works for you. There's a bit of sun protection, but if I was going to be outside for long periods, I would layer it with a dedicated sun screen. It doesn't 'pill' when I've tried it with different skin care products, which is a nice bonus. I've also tried it with different powders and still got a good effect.

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!)
