Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I was really excited to use this product after reading alot about bb creams on beauty reviews. It made my skin glow and more smoother lookin aswell.. kind of like a airbrushed look.. i would definately keep using this product and i have allready recommended it to friends and family.. one thing i did find is that it rubbed off on my collar during tge day.. maybe it was because i didnt let it dry long enough or maybe it was due to sweat maybe? Im not sure but i still love it lol..

I’ve been wanting to try a BB cream for a while now as I like really light foundation (I currently use MAC face & body) and it sounds like BB cream is a great alternative.

I’ve tried out couple of brands so far but haven’t ended up purchasing anything as I’ve found their “light” shade is still too dark or too orange. I’m happy to report that this wasn’t the case with the Garnier BB cream though! The light shade was a perfect match for my skin and I’m really happy with consistency and coverage. It comes out of the tube thick but is really easy to apply and doesn’t get cakey the way that foundation sometimes does, I’ve even been using without primer which I’d never do with a normal foundation.

As I’m usually in a rush in the morning (because lets face it, having 20mins extra snooze time usually trumps having more getting ready time) I’ve been applying to my face with my hands and then going over it all with a Real Techniques stippling brush which gives me an even finish and hides small imperfections / blemishes and gives coverage that so far seems to last all day.

The tube it comes in is designed to sit upside down so there’ll always be product waiting to be used and like all other Garnier products I’ve used it smells amazing!!

Would I recommend to a friend? Absolutely! I’ll definitely be purchasing again when my current tube runs out :o)

OK so I have tried several BB creams, avon, maybelline you name it. And always fail to find one that matches my skin. I am pale, but boy oh boy does this cream blend well!

The consistency is just right, it is not too runny nor too thick so it is easily to control on your fingertips. It has a more 'yellow' tone than a 'pink' tone as do most foundations, but suits my skin perfectly.

As far as hiding imperfections it does the trick it even hid my freckles and highlighted my face more. When it first is applied it does have an almost dewy shiny finish however this does settle after a few minutes or so. For those with slightly oilier t-zones you may need to lightly go over the cream with a finishing powder.

It was great it lasted most of the day, and i only had to reapply around the eye area due to being exhausted this week. I will continue to use this in place of my daily foundation as I loved how light it felt on my skin. I've been suffering breakouts from other foundations and have been using this for a week now, and not so much as a pimple! It's ticking all the right boxes!

It is such a generously sized tube and will fit in most peoples hand bags. It doesn't have an over powering smell which is great as this reduces the chance of having skin reactions.

The product lives up to its claims, I think it truly is really knowing your skin type and getting the correct formulation for your skin to get the most out of this product. I love this cream it didn't dry out my skin and I felt hydrated throughout the day.

This product really does what it claims to do, it states that it will help even out skin tone and perfects your imperfections. It is a thick consistency and 2 layers is really build-able and helps do a full coverage like it recommends for a more full on coverage. I also used this under my make-up and it even my tone, took away my redness and also helped my foundation glide on so easy!! This BB cream is sooo good compared to the last formula that I tried last year. I am so impressed with this. It is easy to apply, best to apply with your fingers so the product is warm. There is no real noticeable fragrance that I found at all and I hate things that have a strong scent. The product did last longer under foundation then it did on its own, but it still looked good after a few hours wear. I would defiantly recommend this if you are wanting an affordable BB cream that does what it says on the box. I think that it is a must have for every make-up lover, it is a lot cheaper than most primers and does it exactly the same thing, your skin still has that nice glowing even completion look to it.

I love it!! My skin type is usually quite dry and normally things like this would cake up and build up on my dry areas and look awful. This gave me the best coverage and you don't need to use much at all. It doesn't look like you have heavy make-up on, it looks natural and smooth. I like how it was creamy and smelled quite pleasant. So quick and easy to apply. The product seemed to last most the day and made me look fresh and feel 'alive'. I would be happy to pay for it as I can tell it will last me a long time and do the job I want it to do. Packaging was great. Simple, yet elegant and very easy to use without spillage. So I will most definitely continue to use this product and rave about it to my friends. It's easy, does what it says, affordable, efficient and gives great results!

Skin Type: My skin type changes throughout the year from Normal in summer to Slightly dry in winter. I occasionally get the odd breakout but it's never an issue.

Consistency: The BB cream itself is a nice semi-thick cream, not watery or overly thick like some other brands out there. I also found the colour match to be perfect (I have light skin).

Application: I applied this differently over a few days, first with my fingers, then with a sponge and lastly with a foundation brush. I found that it went on best with my fingers, the brush left obvious brush marks on my skin that needed blending out with my fingers or my sponge. The sponge didn't seem to give as nice a finish either and I ended up just blending with my fingers anyway. It glided on nice and smoothly, it is easy to blend out to get the right finish that you are after. I just applied over top of my everyday foundation, I personally don't use primers with BB creams.

Fragrance: The fragrance is hard to describe, it is far from unpleasant, it is almost a cross between floral and something else. It is most noticeable for the first 30mins-1hour after application.

Coverage: I would say that this is a sheer coverage product, however, I have noticed that it is buildable. I found that it covered the slight redness on my cheeks very well and and sat nicely over the dry patch in between my brows, there was no dry/flaky skin to be seen.It has a nice semi-matte finish, it seems to depend on what lighting you're under. Certainly not powdery or oily.

Longevity: I wore this all day, while running errands, going out for a walk, and going to work. It really did last all day, I did not have to touch up at all during the day. It lasts as long as Garnier says it will.

Price: The price I found was reasonable. You don't need much of the product each application, I have a feeling that one tube will last me a few months, making it cost-effective. It is well worth paying a little bit extra for this over say, Maybelline Dream Pure BB, which I found to be quite runny and difficult to apply. The best thing is, is that you can get it from any supermarket, pharmacy or department store.

Packaging: The packaging is pleasing to eye and I feel rather understated for the awesome product it contains. It's simple, looks clean and clearly advertises the product.

Results: I feel the product did what it claimed to, it provided long lasting coverage with a natural 'no make-up' look. I feel it's the right product for me when I'm having a 'no make-up, make-up day'. I noticed that I did not have to touch up over the day nor did I notice any dry patches or oily patches.

Recommendation: I would definitely recommend this BB Cream to all my friends and family or anyone who is looking for a no-fuss good coverage BB cream. It is long-lasting and it glides on like a dream.

I love this BB Cream! It is perfect for me on a daily basis. It is quick and easy to apply with your fingers. The coverage is great, It feels light on the skin, smells fresh and also stays well on your face all day. It really does reduce redness! I am a definite fan!

The cream is fantastic, very light to wear, gave my skin an nice smooth overall finish without looking like I was wearing a tonne of makeup. Great to wear during the day or add a double coat to wear for a more coverage look at night. I would highly recommend this cream to all my friends and it's a product that I will continue to purchase.

I really liked it.it was smooth on my skin and I didn't no I was wearing it. it was very light feeling on my skin would defiantly use it again

I absolutely fell inlove with this BB cream. I'm the kind of girl who always wears a full face of makeup, even at home! This product does all that it says it is going to do and I love the fact that on the days I needed to apply more makeup,it just made my skin feel soft and smooth and had a lovely glow to it. It's a perfect base for any makeup fan,under your everyday foundation or just on its own. The added bonus is the yummy smell! I have now added this to my daily essentials of must have beauty products and I highly recommend this to everyone, especially the girls who dont really like to wear much makeup but love something light with full coverage!
