Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I have been testing out the Garnier BB Cream - Medium over the last 5 days and have had really positive results. My skin type is quite oily with the odd dry patch, I have mostly clear skin with the occasional big pimple. I found the BB Cream to be quite creamy with a great consistency, the colour was very easy to see when taken from the tube. I found the cream easy to apply but did find that it stuck to the dry patches on my skin. The fragrance was lovely but I would prefer if it didn't have one as I do have sensitive skin and try to avoid anything with a fragrance. I found the BB cream to have great "weekend" cover, enough to hide my bad bits but not enough for me to want to go to work during the week, I did find that I went over the product with a powder afterwards as it had quite a shine to it. The only negative I would have is I felt the product didn't stick to my face very well, I found when I touched my face often my hands were left with makeup on them and when I checked in the mirror after a few hours I felt quite exposed and didn't feel like I had enough makeup on. The felt the packaging was fine, it didn't wow me and I certainly wouldn't stop in my tracks to look at it in the supermarket.

Overall I thought the product was really good for a cheaper supermarket brand, I would defiantly continue to use this product on the weekends and on days that I wanted to wear less makeup.

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.

I was sent the BB Cream in LIGHT and I found this colour suited me well for winter. I am fair skinned but perhaps in the summer time I might need a slightly darker colour, not sure. The coverage this product offered was surprisingly good as I have some patches of missing pigment and worried that I would need to apply my foundation over the top of this to get the cover I need. However, I was quite happy to wear just this product without any other foundation over the top, for day time wear. Over all I liked this product a lot. It's not greasy either.

I love BB creams and prefer them over foundation for everyday, so I was excited to try out this one; I got it in the shade Medium.

Firstly, I was a little shocked by the colour when it came out of the tube. It is very dark (much darker than a 'medium' shade ought to be) and has an orangey/peachy hue. I was a little afraid to put it on my face! However, once rubbed it, the colour did blend away a bit, but it still left a bit of an orange cast.

The texture is quite thick and oily; not the most pleasant thing to rub on your face. It reminded me a bit of butter, but not in a good way. Because it was so greasy, it left my face looking rather shiny after I applied it. This subsided after it settled/absorbed a bit into my skin, but I still applied some powder over top since I tend to get oily during the day, concentration on the T-zone.

It has a nice light coverage and definitely made my skin look smoother, but doesn't cover any blemishes or under eye issues very well. So i feel that the 'Instantly perfect skin' claim on the box is a bit of an overstatement.

Overall, I don't mind this BB cream, but probably wouldn't purchase it again due to it's strange colouring and thick/greasy texture; I much prefer lighter and mattifying products.

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.

My skin is classified as normal, if anything it could be on the dry side, but most of the time is fine. I was amazed that you didn't need to use moisturizer before using this product. I had my doubts but it felt great. It is a nice fairly thick consistency and feels cool as you apply it which gives your face a refreshing feel. It gave me a surprisingly good coverage, better than what I had expected. I would happily wear this as my day make up, possibly not quite enough coverage if I was out at night. But it was correct on the label as it did say you can add a layer which is what I did one day. I would buy this again and the container it comes in is great as it sits upside down so it will help to get those last few mls out later!

Hi all...ye, this product ain't that bad at all..it's majorly thick and creamy...a little goes quite a way...I don't usually like garnier because their products have such a strong purfume but this didn't! Also their product give me pimples but this didn't! I used with and without primer..I feel the primer intensified the colour. I doesn't cover, but it does disguise and kinda adds a fake tan look without face tanning or using bronzer coz my face is paler than my body. Also...when I didn't use primer before it, my skin would suck up the moisturiser when I did my night routine...so is this product moisturising?...maybe...maybe not...hard to really say. But I think it is definitely just a step better than a tinted moisture with terms of what is does and how it applies.

I generally have oily skin but while pregnant my skin tends to dry out and get lots of break outs so I went with the normal skin type and light shade. The bb cream has a thick consistency, once blended it seemed to make my face look really shiney which I didn't like at all. In saying that I loved how once blended it felt really light on my face. It didn't cover my blemishes which was unfortunate as I have a few, I used a powder over top to hide those spots. Loved the fruity smell of it. It doesn't last all day and I did have to reapply but I didn't mind that as it felt refreshing to reapply with that yummy scent. The packaging is good just what I'd expect from a bb cream. Would recommend it to some one who is looking for a light coverage bb cream, for those days you don't feel like getting all your make up out. Overall good product would get it again.

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.

Being the mother to five boys, I find it hard time wise for any sort of beauty treat time for myself. So bb cream is a perfect product for me, I found it light and non-greasy, it wass fas absorbing and the coverage was very even although i did have to apply it twice. the only reason I have not brought it for myself is the price is abit high for my budget. But in saying that I still give BB Cream a 10 out of 10
