Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I trialled this product for a week. The cream is easy to put on. It hides blemishes and dark under eye circles leaving my face looking brighter. I didn't notice much if any fragrance. I has good coverage but does need to be retouched in the afternoon - which is stated on the box that this may need to be done. The price is reasonable - I have seen between $17.50 - $24 (for 50ml). The packaging isn't brightly coloured but does stand out in the black box and picture of the tube of cream on the front. The claims on the box I think fairly state what it does, it evens the complexion, 24 hour hydration, UV protection of SPF 15, covers blemishes. This product is used like a regular moisturiser with a tint in it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a natural looking moisturiser that hides redness and blemishes. I would personally use this product again.

i found this product AMAZING! it went on lightly and smelt terrific, it didn't "clump" in any of my wrinkles or lines and minimized the appearance of blemishes in fact i think i have had less break outs since using the product.It kept my skin moisturized without being heavy and i now prefer this over my foundation, because it doesn't look to "makeupy" it was excellent for slapping on before the school run and i didn't look "dolled up" for running my errands.It was just as easy to apply as a moisturizer and unlike foundation i didn't have to be as precise . This is now a must have in my vanity cupboard

I received the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream (Normal) in the medium shade as I have a slightly tanned complexion and I also use the medium shades in other BB cream brands I use or have used. When I first received it I swatched it on the back of my hand against my current go-to BB cream (also in medium) and noticed the Garnier medium was much darker which worried me at first. However after applying it I found that it blended quite nicely into my natural skin tone and wasn't noticeably darker.

I found the consistency to be thick and creamy when squeezed out of the tube but thins out nicely when applying, allowing you to build up the coverage if necessary. It is a bit like butter - solid when squeezed out but melts down nicely to apply easily over skin. I actually preferred applying this with a brush or sponge as it gave me better control over how thick I was applying it. With a small application it gave me a sheer coverage with a matte finish. I had some red blemishes in the week I trialed this product and while it did reduce the redness of them, it only did so slightly and not as well as other BB creams I use would.

It is slightly fragranced but I found this to be a pleasant smell and I didn't notice that the smell lingered all day. I used this product on top of my moisturizer and also trialed it with and without my MAC Studio Fix powder which I often use to 'set' my BB cream. I found that this product lasted all day with me, whether I used the powder or not.

The product claims to give 24 hour hydration, evens complexion, corrects blemishes, boost healthy glow and provide UV protection. I felt my skin was hydrated but also noticed that the product gave a slight 'tacky' feel to the skin, this seemed to reduce over the day though. It did even out my complexion and give my skin a nice 'sun-kissed' glow which I did like. In regards to blemishes, it did reduce the redness but only slightly.

You don't need a lot to get a good basic coverage so for the price and size of the package, it is great for those on a budget needing something quick that can give a daily, natural look.

I have normal skin and found no issues using this product (trialed for a week). I don't have any negatives to report on this product but I do still prefer my current BB cream over it.

Straight off the bat, this is too dark for me, I'm about an NC15 in mac so really light, I received the light colour. The formula is really nice and thick and feels pleasant. Once applied it reminds me of how sunblock makes your skin look, really dewy but in an obvious "I have a crap load of stuff on my face" kind of way. Maybe dewy is the wrong word. I powdered it and it looked more wearable. Over the day it didn't wear very well, faded off and went patchy and I was very oily in my T zone. I wouldn't purchase this product again and I wouldn't be quick to recommend it to a friend. I don't have a lot to say about it, it was too dark, too "wet" and it didn't wear well.

I was excited to try out this cream, having heard many people say how much they love it. However I was quite disappointed. I chose the normal skin as my skin is clear and not overly oily or dry. The cream came out thick and creamy as I expected, but as I rubbed it on it seemed to thin out and become quite oily (which I guess could be good in terms of not needing to use much!). For me though, this felt awful to be putting on my skin, and that oily feeling stayed with me all day. It did do a fairly good job of covering up my red cheeks, but I would not want to put myself feeling so yuck just to do that. I was also surprised that the light shade is too dark for my skin, it took a lot of blending to try and erase the line around my face. Overall I would not purchase this product again, I will stick to my regular foundation that is the right shade for my skin and also stays on all day without me even knowing its there!

I always kinda thought that BB creams were just a new form of marketing gimmick, but after I received my trial bottle - WOW! im SOLD! My skin felt soft, supple & had a beautiful glow. it lasted throughout the day even after gym sessions & was easy to remove. it blended beautifully & was a great colour match. LOVE IT!

I always wear makeup and some days at home I think what a waste of time, but getting ti try this product is great, Im so pleased its quick to get on feels great not oily and heavy, smells fresh, and does cover, I will def be using this, and are so happy to be chosen to try it out, thanks heaps, A++ pretty impressed!!

I have been testing out the Garnier BB Cream - Medium over the last 5 days and have had really positive results. My skin type is quite oily with the odd dry patch, I have mostly clear skin with the occasional big pimple. I found the BB Cream to be quite creamy with a great consistency, the colour was very easy to see when taken from the tube. I found the cream easy to apply but did find that it stuck to the dry patches on my skin. The fragrance was lovely but I would prefer if it didn't have one as I do have sensitive skin and try to avoid anything with a fragrance. I found the BB cream to have great "weekend" cover, enough to hide my bad bits but not enough for me to want to go to work during the week, I did find that I went over the product with a powder afterwards as it had quite a shine to it. The only negative I would have is I felt the product didn't stick to my face very well, I found when I touched my face often my hands were left with makeup on them and when I checked in the mirror after a few hours I felt quite exposed and didn't feel like I had enough makeup on. The felt the packaging was fine, it didn't wow me and I certainly wouldn't stop in my tracks to look at it in the supermarket.

Overall I thought the product was really good for a cheaper supermarket brand, I would defiantly continue to use this product on the weekends and on days that I wanted to wear less makeup.

Okay So to start with I have normal skin that gets a bit dry sometimes but nothing major. I am also very pale so I got this in the shade light.

So I will start with the price and the packaging. I think it is decently priced, I saw it in farmers for $21. The packaging is okay, I think that the box it comes in is very average looking however and looks quite cheap. The squeezy bottle that the actual product comes in is fine however. It isn't amazing and it doesn't stand out but it is easy to get the product out of.

The product itself is quite thick and creamy and I liked the consistency of it. I tried application with both my fingers and with a brush (real techniques buffing brush) and I by far preferred applying it with a brush. The brush gave much better coverage and a better finish. I found it harder to blend out nicely with my fingers.

The coverage was quite sheer and had a dewy finish. It did however work well to even out my skin tone without looking like I was wearing a lot of product on my face. I liked the finish after doing two layers as it covered my imperfections a bit better. I think that a bottle will last for a long time as I did not need much product at all.

The only issue that I had with the product on my face was that the colour was still a bit too dark on me as I am very pale.

The product didn't have any fragrance which I liked. It also gave me no extra breakouts which was great.

Overall I liked this product and the only thing stopping me from using it a lot is the colour and it was too dark and a bit too yellow toned for my skin.

I was sent the BB Cream in LIGHT and I found this colour suited me well for winter. I am fair skinned but perhaps in the summer time I might need a slightly darker colour, not sure. The coverage this product offered was surprisingly good as I have some patches of missing pigment and worried that I would need to apply my foundation over the top of this to get the cover I need. However, I was quite happy to wear just this product without any other foundation over the top, for day time wear. Over all I liked this product a lot. It's not greasy either.
