Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

This is my first BB cream (I never understood the hype around something so close to a tinted moisturiser) It gives me the same coverage as a light foundation but it comes out of the tube really thick so I was expecting something a little mid coverage type. A small pea sized amount usually covers my whole face (I don't like using a lot of product). Not sure if its a one off or maybe how they all are but it comes with a yummy smell to it. I don't like how it gives you a dewy finish, I like matte finishes but its nothing a little powder finish cant fix. Unfortunately this is the lightest colour and it is still a shade too dark but thankfully its only a shade and due to it being light coverage its barely noticeable. I have normal to dry skin and even moisturising before hand; this product still isnt moisturising enough so my nose dries out during the day. I personally wouldn't purchase this again so I'm thankful I was gifted this one.

So i brought this as a weekend wearer i wasnt expecting fantastic results and kind of glad that i thought that!! This is nice for the days where you dont want to wear makeup but not want to have a naked face a very light coverage similar to a tinted moisturiser it left my face quite shiny and dewy looking and without a powder just melted off. For the price $ 16.99 i think is actually a little steep

This product would be best suited to someone starting out in the makeup world or a teenage.

The pigment is quite dark im glad that i only purchased the light shade or i would have a orange halo around my face and neck!!!

even thou this product wasnt for me i think it could be better suited to a younger age group its very easy to apply and a little goes a long way.

I bought this in light but it's still too dark for me. I find it to be extremely light coverage but it does even out my skintone more or less. It's definitely moisturising but aside from that I haven't noticed any significant improvement to my skin. I rub it in like a moisturiser and it is a bit oily at first but it does absorb. I use this as a primer or a tinted moisturiser/sunscreen and that's basically all it's good for as far as I can tell.

The colour isn't light enough to match my skintone, I have to blend really well to prevent it from looking too orange. This defeats the point of BB creams- ease. If your skin is very light you might want to avoid this product.

Still, it's easier to apply than foundation. It feels better on my skin than foundation. The coverage is decent for a BB cream.

I won't repurchase because I would prefer a lighter colour and there isn't one, but if your skin isn't very light this is a decent product and I would recommend trying it.

I used to use this BB cream and I'll start by saying the formula was quite nice for my dry skin but I don't think it would be suitable for an oily skin type.

I had the shade Medium which was a good match for my olive skin in the summer but too dark for me in the winter so I couldn't use it then. I always applied it with my hands and it spread evenly and provided a sheer tint.

In my opinion it didn't really do much except give a slight glow to my face because the formula was quite dewy but I did like that effect. However, it dried down after a few hours and it didn't layer nicely so I do think there are better BB creams around at this price point.

Found this quite good. Got quite good coverage and good results in terms of removing redness and evening out skin tone. Definitely need something more intense if there are big pimples but usually it is enough for every day wear and pretty good value for money.

My skin has orange undertones is usually dry, with an oily surface (i.e. t zone gets quite shiny throughout the day), and I have pimples to cover around my chin and can be sensitive to specific products, but usually doesn't react.

I found that comparing this BB Cream to others I have tried (Shiseido and Za) it is a lot lighter and provides less coverage with what feels like a more oily base. However, this coverage could be built up a little without looking cakey (unless I added too much), but did not manage to completely cover the problem chin area (though this is often a difficult area to cover. It blended in well to my skin (though is probably a little pinker than my usual shade) and did not cause any reaction.

I think that because the product is lighter than the other BB Cream I use and seems to feel a little oilier, it did not last all day, particularly in the oily t-zone area I mentioned I have. It just slid off in my oilier areas, but did stay on quite well in the cheeks area, and covered the redness I tend to have in my cheeks. However, I did find the sun protection SPF15, a little bit of a let down, as with paler skin, I know it is not enough to protect me.

For the quantity in the packaging the price seems to be one of the cheapest BB Creams available and though I do prefer the other BB Creams that I've used, this is a good alternative. I will be interested to see how long the tube lasts, as I do find myself using more than with my Za BB Cream due to the lighter consistency, and therefore it might not be as cost effective.

Overall, I was really quite happy with the results of the Garnier BB Cream and it increased my expectations of this brand. The packaging was eye catching and well made giving all the information needed about the product and it's uses. And though it did not cover or last as well as my current BB cream, it did do a pretty good job. I'll probably wouldn't buy this again, due to the difficulty with the oily t-zone and the lower sun protection (my current BB Cream is SPF 43). However, I will finish the tube and keep it in mind if my skin changes and for maybe winter. Also, I may recommend it to a friend under the right circumstances. I'm giving this a 3.5-4/5

This BB cream was not what I was expecting. I had never used a bb cream before this and was very surprised by the results. It didn't have the best coverage but it did tone down some of my nasty pimples. The consistency was very thin and a bit runny but it was very effortless to blend in. I was going to use a stipple brush but then just used clean fingers and it went on like a dream. Perfect if you are just having I don't care but secretly I do care make up day.

My skin is mostly normal with occasional oily parts so I opted for the Normal Garnier BB Cream. There is a choice between light and medium shades and I picked the medium with the idea that I can always dilute with moisturiser if worse came to worse. I have tried 2 BB Creams before and I really liked that the consistency of this BB Cream was not too runny – which a lot of creams are – and the best thing with this shade is that it gave me a really nice natural tanned daytime look! The product also went really far so you definitely get good value for your $$. For the application, since I don’t have the best foundation brush, I simply applied this cream like any other face moisturiser, little dab on the palm, and used both hand to smooth out any obvious lines etc. The smell was not strong at all, neither too perfumy nor synthetic. In the end, I felt comfortable with the coverage I got, it was quite dewy at first but did dry to a natural finish (not a matte finish) I felt happy not adding foundation or more coverage. It lasted really well during the day – something I really look for in a product – as if I can avoid having to carry makeup in my purse to “topup” during the day then thumbs up from me! The price is really reasonable – on super sale at supermarkets for as little as $10!! I especially love the size of the cream as it is small enough to carry in handbag/makeup bag, the overall packaging of the product is pretty simple and traditional – nothing to rave about or mark out as different. I would recommend this product to a friend as it does tick all the boxes – another good Garnier product!
