Great for everyday use

I have been using this product for 5 days now every morning and have trialed it as a make-up primer and also by itself for days I want to look more natural. It created quite a nice base for my make-up, but for some reason tended to wear off in little clumps throughout the day. When I wore it on it's own it reduced my redness and evened out my skin tone as well as still giving me that natural look I craved on 'no make-up days'.

My skin is normally normal-dry and this product didn't give me any irritation or added dryness, it actually gave exactly the right amount of moisture. The packaging is simple but practical (the product is very easy to get out) and the fragrance is pleasant and not overwhelming. The product is a perfect consistency and doesn't run out of the tube (which means you won't ever use too much) and application with both fingers and a foundation brush is a breeze (so easy to blend in). The coverage is light which is why I used it as a primer for my foundation (but perfect if you just want to reduce redness). I found it lasted most of the day, but I started to see my redness again after about five hours so re-application is necessary if you want to keep the coverage consistent. This product is incredibly affordable compared to a lot of other BB creams, and is very easy to source (sold in most supermarkets).

I will definitely be using this product again and passing my positive experience on to my friends (amazing quality and results for the price).

Tips: Apply just a thin layer to your face because I found when trying to build up more coverage the cream didn't set/sit as well on my skin.

Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

This foundation is brilliant! its so smooth and light, i didnt even notice i was wearing it. it blended into my skin perfectly so i had no noticable lines. The only downside is the hole that the foundation comes out of is quite large so alot of foundation comes out at once. A smaller hole would be great, then it would last longer as well. the foundation smelt ok, some can smell horrible but this one didnt. :)

Great value for money

I have normal to dry skin and I quite liked this BB cream, it was definitely hydrating and gave me a slight glow although not as much as it claims to. I found it to have a very light creamy texture and it went on really nicely (I just used my fingers). It doesn't have very much coverage and I thought it had almost a dewy finish, it was a great base for my foundation and I was very happy with the overall finish. I liked the packaging and found the squeeze bottle much easier to disperse the right amount of product instead of using a pump. Overall I think it is very good value for money and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light BB cream with light-medium coverage.

Love it!

I was a bit sceptical at first using this product but I must say, I love it.

Ease of use is amazing, if you are in a rush just slap it on as you do your normal moisturiser and off you go. I tend to like a little more coverage so would apply two layers.

For an even better coverage, I found setting with a powder helped the creams staying power. For me, I have issues with even foundations staying put and I cant say this cream was any different, I definitely didn't have the coverage on my face at the end of the day as the beginning but there was still enough on to be passable (at least by my standards).

The only other issues I found, was that like a moisturiser, it took a little bit to dry/set but other than that...no complaints!

While I don't think it will ever replace my foundation, for days when I am in a hurry or just need a little coverage its perfect and so so quick and easy to use!

Tips: Only tips I can think of would be apply using a mirror to ensure even coverage and if you want more coverage, reapply after your first layer!

Garnier BB Cream Review

Pleasantly surprised by this product! Never tried a BB cream before so didn't really know what to expect. The texture seems quite thick at first but it applies really smoothly and quite thin. I like that it's so moisturising, and after only a few days of using it my skin already feels healthier. The shade matches me really well, and the coverage is light but buildable. It lasts on me most of the day before I have to top it up with powder. My only problem with it is that it's too dewy for me, but that is easily fixed with powder over the top.

Tips: Best applied with fingers!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

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.

Tips: A little goes a long way. This is also available for other skin types too - oily, combination for example and different tints - light & dark.

Does the job :)

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.

Tips: Apply it with a brush as it gives a much nicer finish. I recommend using a brush similar to the real techniques buffing brush.

Garnier BB Cream - Normal

I have been trialing this product over the past week and I must say I have been very impressed. The packaging doesn't particularly stand out to me but the product itself is very impressive. I don't have a lot of time to apply makeup etc so I found this cream to be a big timesaver. Easy to apply, quick and gave a good all round cover. I found it blended very well and evened out my skin tone. I would definitely buy this product again as it ticks all the boxes for me.

Tips: Over the course of the day, the coverage does tend to fade so I would reapply in the afternoon.

Wonderful Product!

My skin is normal, I get the ocassional breakout or oilyness/dryness but my skin is classed as 'normal' however I do have red patches over my face and was keen to see what happened when I applied this product. It was good! It is a sheer cover and extremely easy to apply and had a creamy consistency. I applied it like normal moisturiser and didnt get any streaks etc. The cover wasnt quite enough for me unfortunatley so had to 'top up' with a bit of concealer under my eyes and red patches, however was a really good base. The product unfortuantley didnt stay on as long as I would have liked and did give me a bit of an oily finish but nothing major. Skin felt really moisturised with the product on. The packaging was really good, a reasonable sized squeezy tube, so product was easy to get out and there was no mess at all. I would recommend this product for around home, but not so much for going out.

Where's my BB Cream!

I have normal skin with freckles and getting old. I don't put make-up yet, I envy other women with flawless skin. So here comes BB Cream and I love it! It has creamy consistency that was easy to apply. A thin application is fine with me because I just want it to be as natural-looking as possible. I like the smell and it gives a coverage of finish matte. I'm not a regular buyer of beauty products so its hard for me to compare prices. I always wait for for my favourite products on special and buy a spare. The packaging says it all--informative.

Tips: I'm not a make-up user so I look kinda pale when I used BB cream but a lipstick made my look complete. I'm happy. Plus the SPF 15 is awesome.
