well it was hydrating.

Left my skin feeling hydrated, the colour was too dark for my skin and my foundation I put over the top did seem to take on a lot of the colour. In the right shade would maybe use by itself on a 'no make up day' otherwise would stick to plain moisturizer or primer under my foundation

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

As someone who doesn't wear makeup very often, I found this BB cream to be the perfect solution to use as an everyday light coverage without being over the top. My skin is just normal - not too oily or dry, but the overall health of my skin hasn't been very good lately due to exam stress and slightly unhealthy eating/sleeping habits. The consistency is not too thick, I was a little bit daunted by the colour initially but it actually toned in really well! It was very easy to apply, I just applied it like a normal moisturiser and blended it in. The coverage isn't too heavy, so I will definitely use this instead of my foundation for during the day. The fragrance is nice, not overpowering and leaves the skin smelling fresh. I can apply this in the morning and come home in the afternoon with it still on, it lasts for several hours with no problems. The packaging is aesthetically pleasing, the box provides lots of information and includes how to apply if you want lighter or fuller coverage. The actual container is simple to use, however I found it got a bit messy around the opening of the tube. I would definitely recommend this product, I think its a very worthwhile product, and with a reasonable price (compared to other foundations) it is definitely something to look at investing in.

Tips: Very useful for daytime coverage - but can use two applications if you want a more full coverage for night events. Using a foundation brush may make it easier to apply, especially making sure it is all blended in. :)

Good BB cream for a light coverage

A nice light but rich cream which is easy to apply, not cakey and gives a good light coverage but the make-up aspect wasn't very long lasting. I found it good paired with my normal concealer to cover marks for a few hours out and about during the day. It didn't accentuate the lines under my eyes which was great although it needed a bit of a hand with the concealer to cover the "lack of sleep" rings. Feels nice on the skin and doesn't have a strong fragrance. Packaging looks smart with the pearly glow and is practical. Garnier products are normally well priced so I would consider buying this again.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

I have used this product before, and not only am I a fan of this Garnier BB cream but their collection of BB creams are all lovely products. The packaging is great for easy dispensing, as all product sits near the lid end of the tube. The texture is thicker than most BB creams but doesnt block pores. They have a colour range so suitable for a different range of skin colours. The smell is nice and not off putting. I found the product does have good coverage however I like to set with a light powder for the product to last longer. over all. Happy with this Bb Cream

Great overall product for everyday use!

I really enjoyed this product. I found it great as it had a built in tint that helped with full coverage. I found it spread easy, had a great sent and good product consistency. I trialled it as both a foundation and as a base primer before I put foundation on (see tips for outcome).

I think you really need to know your skin colour as I could imagine without testing in store, it would be easy to get the wrong one. I got med which is my "normal" tone but had to be careful not to use too much as it would look really fake. I don't think it has as an amazing flawless look as it states in the add (a bit airbrushed) but still is a Great product for the price of it. I would buy this and recommend to friends.

Tips: Don't use too much to start as it can get too dark for your skin tone and test if possible in store. Use less or more according to your skin tone. Be careful if you're prone to oily skin or breakouts as it has a lot of moisture in it. Don't use foundation over this if you have oily skin, use as a foundation and use a light powder or bronze on top for great coverage.

Get gorgeous glowy skin!

While I'm not a massive fan of BB Creams, I was really excited to try this one from Garnier as I have heard really good things about it. Garnier claims that this BB Cream will even out skin tone, reduce blemishes, and hydrate your skin all while leaving you with a gorgeous glow. It's described as the 'ultimate daily all-in-one solution for instantly flawless, healthy glowing skin" - and this sounded like a product I needed in my life!

I like the packaging that Garnier have come up with; the tube is a beige colour with silver writing, and it looks pretty sitting in the bathroom. It has a sturdy flip top lid which closes well, so you don't need to fret about it leaking all though your bag. The tube comes in box which tells you a little more about the product and what it claims to do.

The BB Cream itself is an average consistency, and I found I didn't need too much to cover my face. I always apply BB Creams with my fingers as I find this is the best way to 'press' the product in to the skin. I tried the shade "Light", and it is still just a little too dark for me (pale girl problems!) I am about an NW15 in the winter, and I think this would suit a NW20 or 25 much better, as it comes off a little orange-y on me. Hopefully come summer, it should be the perfect shade for me!

The BB Cream is very easy to blend into the skin, and it does give an instant glow. I found it did help to even out my skintone and minimised any redness in my cheeks. It's absolutely hopeless at covering blemishes however, and I still needed to use a concealer to cover a couple that I had. I think if you suffered from a lot of acne this probably wouldn't be the product for you, or you would likely need to use a foundation over it.

I have tried this out both under foundation and by itself, and I have to say I prefer using it by itself. It can look a little heavy under foundation and I found it felt quite heavy on my skin. When worn by itself I just set with a little pressed powder, and I found that it kept my skin looking even and glowing all day.

Overall I really like how it looks on my skin. I love the glowy look and like the fact that it is lighter than foundation. I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't cover blemishes as well as I had hoped.

Tips: This product may look a little shiny if you have oily skin, so set with a matte pressed powder to remove any shine!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

This was my first trial with Beauty Review and I am so happy I got the opportunity to test this product! My skin is pretty “normal”, and I only really suffer with the odd breakout, usually on my chin. I chose the Medium shade which was a tiny bit too dark, but still much more suitable than the Light shade which was way too light. Having only 3 shades to choose from definitely makes choosing the right one for you much easier. The packaging is nice and simple and is small enough that you can keep it in your handbag if you need to touch up during the day.

I found the consistency to be almost mousse like; not too thick or thin, just right. It is extremely easy to apply just like the packaging said- just apply like you would with regular moisturizer. I just used my fingers. This product smells really nice (not what I expected) and it also gives a really nice coverage. I used the BB cream on days when I wasn’t wearing much makeup, and used it along with a little bit of concealer to hide any breakouts I had. This product does a fantastic job of making your skin look great with hardly any work involved.

Unfortunately during my trial period, I have been suffering with a cold so have spent most of my days blowing my nose which naturally caused the BB cream to be wiped off, so if you’re sick, this product won’t last long on your face! Other than that, I was really impressed with how long it lasted.

I am really happy with this product, my skin always looked great after using it and I will definitely be buying another when mine runs out and recommending it to my friends :)

Tips: -On my "no-makeup" days, I used this along with some consealer just to cover up the breakouts I had- they work really well together!

-The lid was probably the only thing I didn't like about this product; when I thought it was closed, it wasn't. So always check yours is closed properly!

-Remember to wipe away any excess that ends up stuck around the opening, otherwise it gets all gluggy and messy.

Garnier BB Cream - Normal

Firstly thank you BR for giving me the opportunity to take part in not one but two Garnier BB Cream trials. I love the handy little tube which is great for your hand bag. As with the Anti Age I requested the medium tone cream but also found it was too dark - so I blended it with a lighter shade of another BB cream which did infact lighten the colour. This too is a lovely light liquid but also failed to give me the coverage I needed. To recommend this product I would have to try the lighter shade also without blending it with another product. Im sure I would get a different result.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - normal

I wish this would have been a product I could use again. Apart from making me look like I had spent a little to much time on a sun bed (I got sent medium colouring which was just wrong for my skin colouring) my skin did not like this product at all. I put it on and it felt like my skin was burning - I had to remove it immediately. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing this product again.

Amazing :-) Garnier BB Cream

Garnier Miracle Perfector BB Cream is amazing ! I was blown away by the fact that it did exactly what it said it would and more. I thought it would be a thick foundation but it is so light and smooth and not heavy and clay like. I really like how beautiful i looked when using it and now use it daily. I used to dread putting on my makeup but with BB Cream im looking forward to putting my makeup on and going out :-) Its so easy and quick and nice to apply it makes you wish you'd found it years go lol

Tips: No tips but you will love BB Cream :-) i recommend it to everyone lol
