Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

Lets start off with the good. I think that the packaging is great. I found the box to be very informative, more than any other BB Cream I have used in the past. Not only does it have it's claims as to what it does for your skin. It also has the % results from a survey taken during testing. It has an age indicator on the box showing the recommended age groups for this cream. So over all if you were standing in the shops you could tell pretty much from the box if this is what you are after.

I did like the smell of the product...slightly floral perhaps or citrusy. Mostly a lovely fresh smell. I also like that it feels quite weightless on the skin (apart from when I touch it,I will cover below in my dislikes)

*please note here that there was a mix up & I received the Medium shade instead of the Light as request*

I found this cream went on quite dark. I am by no means pale or super fair skinned so when picking out of the 2 shades medium would seem like the logical choice for me. However having found the Anti-aging BB cream by Garnier in Medium that I brought some time ago quite dark I had asked to try this in Light instead. Im glad I didn't because I think it would be too pale for me. Let me explain. When I apply this cream it does go on quite dark & orange but once rubbed in it seems to settle into the skin after awhile & becomes almost a perfect fit shade wise. Still a little dark but not orange like first applied. That's not to say that I wouldn't like to one day to eventually try a sample of this in the Light to see if it is a better fit but I don't see me buying another tube.

What I didn't like about it. I found it to be quite hard to blend. I tried with both my fingers & a sponge on different days. The fingers were the better application but because I found this to absorb quite fast I found it a bit difficult to keep moving around & blending. I also don't like that my sink feels a little tacky/slightly sticky to touch once it's applied. I find this strange because it does absorb so fast, so not sure what causes that. I didn't find this to correct blemishes or give me much of an improved flawless look either. It really only gave me a slight tint to my skin, very light coverage if any coverage at all, so better suited in my opinion as more or a primer in summer when I have more of a tan & wearing a darker foundation shade. I have other BB creams that I feel work better for that no make-up look.\ One last thing to note is that while I have normal skin I found my skin became quite oily in the afternoon when wearing this. (I have had this problem recently with another product that I will review so this is more of a side note because it may be my skin being weird lately)

Over all I wouldn't personally buy it again but as I say I will hold on to it for the warmer months to wear under foundation as a prep & primer until I have used the bottle because I wasn't 100% unhappy with it, I just wasn't blown away.

This BB cream had a very strong scent which made me nauseous and gave me headaches. Went on Dewy I prefer Matte but I can see how it would give women a look they want. Covered most redness not all. Went on sticky but that subdued after about an hour and the look was ok. By the mid afternoon it was oily and definitely needed touch up. I wouldn't buy it again.

Found this quite good. Got quite good coverage and good results in terms of removing redness and evening out skin tone. Definitely need something more intense if there are big pimples but usually it is enough for every day wear and pretty good value for money.

The smell of the product was good. It wasn't strong, or have a fake make up type smell. When applying the BB Cream it went on very easy and evenly. I did feel that I may have needed to match my neck skin colour with bronzer. I wore it through the hottest part of the day at the pools and it didn't run or make my skin go oily nor did it make my skin irritated. I'm a new mum of two boys so I defiantly don't have time to apply foundation so this BB Cream is a perfect product for my life style. Will purchase once the trail sample is gone.

I have dry/combination skin and found this product great for my skin type, the texture is quite thick but it spreads easily and feels light on the skin. I applied using my fingers and found it easy to blend.The coverage did not cover my freckles but did even out my skin tone, it doesn't cover as good as the photo on the packaging shows. I found it lasted all day and didn't make me break out I would defiantly buy this product as I think it is good value for money.

Firstly a little about my skin. I have fair skin mostly normal am pron to breakouts and as a busy mother of three and being an ece teacher quick easy make up that looks natural is very important to me. I tried this product three different ways on it's own with blush and eye makeup and as a base for foundation and it worked for every look. On it's own it gives a natural look covering most of my imperfections but a concealer is needed for the harder to cover blemishes. This BB cream is a perfect substitute for everyday wear with medium cover but if I was going out and needed more cover I would pair it with my normal foundation. This cream has a thick consistancy but felt light on my skin and a little goes a long way it didn't seem to have much of a fragrance which I liked and it lasted all day. Because this product was easy to apply gavee a natural look as well as being good value for money I feel it is a perfect product for me and I am now a BB cream convert and have added this to my daily make up routine.

I was very impressed with this product, the consistency of the creme was very smooth and applying it to my face was very easy. The creme has a very mild scent and doesnt feel heavy on your face. I found this product gave me complete coverage and lasted for a good 8 hours. The one thing that i loved was the fact you only need to use a small amount so the Creme will last for ages. When the product arrived the box was damaged but the tube itself was in excellent condition. I have Normal to Combination Skin and this product suited me to a tee xx I highly recommend this product :)

Light texture , Non greasy. Thought the color was too dark when initially used on my face but it then lightened in a few seconds of drying. Loved the coverage not too heavy but enough to cover the pink in my cheeks after cleansing. Overall a excellent product would definitely purchase and use as a everyday product.
