Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

Being a BB cream version, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew it would be sheer coverage but that was about it. I would say my skin is fairly normal, not dry and not oily. The first time I used this, though the BB cream really irritated my left eye to the point where it was stinging and watering. The next time I used it, I still got a reaction, just not as severe. However I persisted. The consistency is thicker than some of the others I have seen, but it was easy to apply. I used my fingers and it blended well. The colour also seemed quite dark, at least for a light shade, however it matched my skin tone well. I did see a difference when I was wearing it, however sometimes it felt quite clay-ey at times. I think it does do as it says it will. I will move to the sensitive skin one next though due to the reaction I had with the cream.

I have always been a fan of the smell of Garnier products. I know that is a big no no for many people and unscented seems to be the way to go these days. But I like a bit of a nice smell and this Garnier product delivers on that. I have tried two other BB Creams and I must say this is probably my least favourite out of the ones I have tried. I really wanted it to be my favourite as it is the cheapest out of the bunch...and it would go with my Garnier mositerisor. But unfortunatly it was just OK for me. Here's why: 1. It was very slippery to put on (sounds silly and not sure if that makes sense!) I found it glided very easily over my skin, but a little too easily as it felt slippery more than moisturizing. 2. It did not provide a great deal of coverage. Now this is not really a big issue because I understand the properties of a BB cream, they are not a foundation so will not cover like one. But due to it being quite slippery (as mentioned before) it felt as if I would blend it in with my fingers...then it was gone, and it didn't take my pesky skin redness with it! 3. It did not last very long. This is likly due to the reasons above, it was a slippery consistency and it did not have much coverage, so therefore it did not last very long. So those are really the only reasons why I feel it did not compare to others I have tried. Yet I will finish the bottle and continue to use it and test it out in different ways. I still like to use it underneth my foundation to give a nice base. But I just can't wear it on its own which is a shame.

A good level of coverage & nice consistency but I found the product had too much of an orange like tone for me. I used the medium (which would normally be ok for me) but if I were to continue using I would like to try the light. Will keep as a back up but wouldn't purchase for myself.

First impression of the BB cream is not that great. I have fairly normal skin but found even though it seemed to be of a thick consistency it applied quite lightly. The colour of the medium is a little too orange for my skin colour but think the light would be too light. I applied the BB cream using my finger tips but did not try any other method as I had nothing available, it spread quite easily but found myself using quite a lot to get a full facial coverage. I also found it the BB cream did not last on my skin for too long due to the light coverage and it give me the flawless look like it said and two applications my my skin feel gluggy. The front of the packaging is fine, but there is a lot of writing over the rest of the packaging which I think could be contained in a leaflet inside. I would only recommend this product to people that do not wear make up very often and like a lighter coverage.

I wasn't to sure how I felt about this product, I had mixed feelings, it went on smooth felt light and smelt Devine!! The medium was a little to dark for me, the coverage very average good for a natural look or a stay at home day. I found it to be a nice base for my everday make-up routine as I like a bit more coverage.

The packaging was awesome and explained a lot about the product I loved how th packing showed the actual size of the product on the outside to, over all a good product but not quiet my style I would definetly recommend it for someone who likes a natural look or is trying to go for a natural look.

Skin Type -My skin is normal , bordering slightly dry during winter which is why I use moisturiser frequently. On the first attempt I used the Garnier BB cream alone, because I wanted to see how if faired on its own. It left my skin feeling slightly dry but shiny. Consistency - The consistency is creamy, making it easy to apply. Application - On the first day I applied it exactly like my moisturiser (like the packaging recommends). It definitely makes my skin look even and hides the blemishes. On the subsequent attempts I dabbed it on the dark spots on my face to provider lighter, more natural coverage. This definitely gave me better results when used along with a primer. Fragrance - It has a sweet smell that cannot be ignored, but it goes away quite quickly. I personally prefer my make up to be less 'fragrant' than this. Coverage - The more I apply, the more coverage I get. For lighter results, I use it on target areas and then blend it out. The finish, on its own was quite shiny/oily. Longevity - I had to apply it only once in the morning. Price - This was my first BB Cream experience, but Garnier is definitely priced strategically in comparison to competing brands. I would still look out for specials to see if I could grab it for $15 or under. Packaging - The tube structure definitely makes it easy to pour the product onto your palm. At the same time, the nozzle is narrow enough to allow you to dab it on to the brush/sponge directly. Results - The product definitely evens out my skin, however I would not use it on its own…I need to use a primer to reduce the shine. Would you recommend it - Not to be used on its own, but to be used along with other product(s)

BB creams have become famous very quickly in the beauty industry. I mean who wouldn't love them. They are not as heavy as a foundation but provide a decent amount of cover along with the skin benefits. But are they really all they are cracked up to be? Over the past week I have tried out the Garnier Skin Naturals BB cream for normal skin. I have a light complexion so I used the light shade. It comes in a generous 50ml tube and claims to give 24hr hydration, evens complexion, corrects blemishes, gives a health glow and has UV protection. So I put it to the test and here are my thoughts. I didn't have it on my skin for 24 hrs but I did wear it for a good 8 hours, multiple times and I'd have to say that it did keep my skin hydrated for a good part of that time. It evened my skin tone and covered most of the redness however, if you have moderate to sever acne I would not recommend this product for cover. Do keep in mind that this is only a bb cream and not a full coverage foundation. It gave me a dewy finish. I have normal/dry skin and I did feel that by the end of the day I was a little shiny. I wouldn't recommend this specific one for oily skin as it clearly states normal skin type. As far as the UV protection, it's hard to say because of the season we are currently in but I believe the SPF 15 is a good amount as it gives you some protection without giving you that harsh flash back that is commonly talked about with products that have SPF. I believe it is a good product for the price and would recommend to someone that has normal and clear/minor blemish skin. Just one thing to keep in mind is that it does oxidize a little throughout the day which is a con unfortunately. The only other downside to this bb cream is the scent. I have sensitive skin and react to scent. It did irritate my skin just a tad but nothing like I have experienced in the past. If scent doesn't bother you then this would be a good product to try. Plus Garnier is a trusted brand that we all know and love. I would rate this product in total a 4/5. I hope this review was helpful.

The packaging of this product offered a lot of benefits. It didn't have an overly powerful smell which was nice, perfumes smell different on everyone so no chance of smelling bad.

I trialed this product without putting on any moisturizer first. It did hydrate my skin nicely, without being left with any tightness. I didn't get any greasiness, just a hint of sheen.

The coverage wasn't particularly great, I really didn't notice much difference with just one layer. Adding a second layer after a few minutes did boost the coverage. I also found it didn't blend out very nicely around my hair line.

I asked people if they noticed any difference after I had put on the product, the response from multiple people was no difference was noticed.

I found this BB cream to be just like a tinted moisturizer so I would probably only use this on days during summer if I was heading to the beach.

The shades were a little limiting - Light is too light but medium is a lot darker, another shade in between these would be great

I found this BB cream a bit disappointing. Although I was selected for the trial by product never arrived, so I had to go out and buy it and to be honest it was a waste of money. I wasn't a big fan of the consistency or the smell of the product, it was quite thick in consistency and just had an odd smell. I also found it didn't have very good coverage even for a BB cream, it was more of a tinted moisturiser. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, but I did have quite a few spots after using this product for a couple of days which is unusual for me. The packaging is good though, and very user friendly. The shade I chose was also a good match. Overall the product was a bit of a let down and I wouldn't buy it again.
