Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I was quite disappointed with this product from the first moment I put it on my face, it was too dark even though it was in the shade light and I don't consider myself to be very pale.

This is a very thick product, and it left my face feeling sticky thoughout the day, I found this to be very difficult to ignore as I could feel it sitting on my face even when I wasn't touching it with my fingers. I found that way is was packaged to be very easy to use due to its thick consistency and the squeezable tube, as I was able to get exactly the right amount that I wanted. It has quite a pleasant smell although after I had applied it to my face I could no longer smell it.

I have normal skin and this BB cream promised to give me a healthy glow, I found that instead it gave me a sheen that made me look oily/sweaty and unwell. I tried using the product in ways to prevent this instead of using just my fingers like I normally would with a BB cream. I used a foundation sponge (one similar to the beauty blender) this seemed to help stop some of the shine although it did give a more sheer finish. I also tried using powder which worked quite well, although my favorite thing about BB creams is that the are simple, they are something that I like chuck on for an easy everyday look and powder just complicates this simple process, this also helped to prevent some of the sticky feeling.

My Favorite BB cream is the Maybelline pure BB cream, compared to that the Garnier BB cream is just not worth the money, this is not a product I will be purchasing or even finishing.

For some reason, this just didn't work at all for me. It made my skin look greasy and yuck and didn't blend in properly so that you could see it on my skin.

I found that it came out too thick and gluggy and was hard to smooth in properly. I also didn't find that it particularly hydrated my skin and would rather have just worn a normal moisturiser.

I love the idea of BB cream as an easy, all in one product, but have yet to find one that i really like. On the other hand, my friend really liked hers, so I will be passing the rest of my tube onto her and will continue my search for a better product.

I bought this BB cream after hearing some good reviews about it. I got in the light/clair shade and it might as well be light orange because that's what the BB cream oxidises to. It is smooth when you apply it on but I find that there ends up far too shiny and sticky. I wouldn't recommend this for people with pale skin, neutral undertones or oily skin. It oxidises to an orangey colour throughout the day and ends up about two shades darker. Personally, I thought it was a flop but I can see how it would be a great product for people with the right yellow undertones.

Previously I had heard a lot of great feedback concerning this product and was really excited to use it. Though I found that it made my face feel greasy and it had a thick texture which made me feel like I had caked my face when I had only applied a little. It smelled like sunscreen which wasn't too bad and it did cover up what needed to be covered but I don't think I'd use it again.

I am really confused about this BB cream. The first one I purchased was the Garnier BB cream in the long narrow tube and it was great when that ran out I replaced it with this one thinking they have repackaged it. I found it completely different. It is very watery, greasy and orange. It takes a long time to dry and is short wearing. I am quite disappointed in how this performs

I just reviewed another version of this and it was very similar sadly. There are garnier versions I love but the latest 2 I have tried have been a disappointment.

I am mixing this with a sunscreen to get a nice consistency that is light and wearable. The consistently is otherwise their usual quite thick formula but it really causes my skin to break out so I mix to get a lighter cream for my skin.

It’s heavy and thick and the colour is a bit dark for me so it doesn’t blend well, the mixing with my sunscreen helps this. As with another formula of theirs I’ve used it causes this cakey appearance on my skin.. which can then rub off like skin peel it’s very odd. It doesn’t really absorb and cover it sits and covers like icing so isn’t a natural blended look.

Longevity on the skin isn’t great either it’s short lived not dewy or fresh. And definitely dries after time.

Even when I’ve mixed it I’m not 100% happy but its better that’s for sure.

Recently Ive been hearing a lot of good things about BB creams. They sounded amazing and I instantly jumped online and started researching, reading reviews to find one to buy. I don't have a lot of spare cash, so I do research a lot before I lay down my hard earned cash. So obviously I was delighted to have the opportunity to review this BB cream.

Firstly, I have super super fair skin with no natural colour (blushed checks etc) so people always ask if I'm sick. I also have dark circles under the eyes (night shift worker), bit of a freakly red splotches and recently Ive had a few pimples too. YAY, so to sum up - I naturally look like death..

It only comes in 2 shades. Light and medium. So I ordered the light shade. The packaging looks nice. Its a squeeze tube with the nozzle at the bottom so there shouldn't be much product wastage once you get down to the end of the product.

I was shocked when i did squeeze the cream out as it looked so dark! (my skin is so white clinique is the only brand so far that has foundation white enough for me). The smell wasn't the best either. Consistency wise - it was nice, felt smooth and velvety.

Day 1: I washed my face as normal, dried, then applied the BB cream over half my face - I wanted to see if I could notice a difference in before and after. And I honestly could not see a difference at all, my skin felt moisturised. However, the colouring looked exactly the same. Pimples, dark eyes, red splotches all stayed the same. It goes on very thin - so id call it a tinted moisturiser maybe? But even then I didn't notice a colour difference. I left my face like this all day (I dont get out much) and I felt like at the end of the day my face did need more moisture.

Day 2: I did a full makeup look. Washed and moisturised first. 2 layers of BB cream. Concealer for eyes and pimples. Blush for cheeks. Eye makeup etc. I just couldn't grow to love this product. My skin colour didnt look even at all, it just looked like I had nothing on. Also, because I applied more of it I noticed that it did rub off onto clothing.

Long story short, this product wasn't for me.

Unfortunately I am not a fan of really anything about this product. The fragrance was pleasant, but almost a little too floral for my tastes. But Starting with... The Formula: I found this incredibly thick, and I am used to thick BB creams my regular is Lioele Triple, but I found this to have a really strange consistency, it reminded me of Nivea Young's Tinted Moisturiser, while t seemed to blend ok (I used a buffing brush to apply) it just does not sit on the skin well. The Shade: I am generally a pretty tan person, but this colour of the Medium tone is so orange, I had to use a very light powder over top to counteract the orange base. It is not flattering and I cant even picture what sort of skin colour a person would have to have to match with this shade well. As for giving healthy and flawless skin I definitely don't think so. Overall I wouldn't recommend this to another person, the texture of the product alone was enough to put me off, for a product that markets itself as a light touch of make up, it is very heavy and thick feeling, my regular foundation which is a medium coverage feels lighter to wear! Because I don't like to be mean to products I will finish with a positive, and that was the packaging, I really like the compact wee tube!

I was excited to try this BB cream as I have heard so many good things but I found it wasn't really the right product for me. It unfortunatly gave my face an oily/shiny look and didnt cover as much as my normal foundation would - I have heard that the BB cream for oily skin is a lot better and I would be keen to try that. It has a really nice smell and feels like velvet going on. I would probably not buy the product myself as it didn't cover much and left a dewy feel X
