Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

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 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.

I received this product to trial recently and have to say the humid weather hasn't been kind for trialing a product of this nature.

It comes in a nice little squeezy tube and is beautifully fragranced. I think it's the apricot oil it contains.

The product itself is white but the second you apply it to your skin it transforms to a coloured BB cream. The colour wasn't a bad match, a wee bit on the orange side but it sheers out to close to invisible. I found it didn't sit all that well around the hairline and eyebrows if you don't blend it in well.

I could see a slight difference in the look of my skin immediately after application, however, it was very short lived and 2 hours later my skin was back to normal, it felt like the product has completely dissolved into my skin and disappeared. For me and my skin that's not something that works as I have quite red skin.

We've suffered from extreme humidity up here in Northland of late and I suspect that has a lot to do with the problems I had, however, it's not something I would repurchase due to this.

If this was a dedicated moisturiser with no tint to it I would try it again as my skin felt nice after use.

I really tried to like this product but unfortunately it didn't deliver. I have used Garnier BB creams before with great success however this streaked and was difficult to blend and the colour wasn't as natural. It didn't provide a flawless coverage as claimed.

Purchased on sale super cheap at countdown to give this a try. Was promising as cream was white at first but even when applying super sparingly and trying to blend in it was just slightly too orangey when it adjusted to my supposed skin tone. Not good for very fair skin

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 had high hopes for this BB cream - universal shade that self adjusts to your skin tone sounds too good to be true.

I have quite fair pale skin and as soon as I applied the product it was very orange based. I tried to blend it out, but it was too dark and orange. Wouldn't use it again - maybe better for darker skin tone
