I was very interested to try this product, as the original Garnier BB cream was the very first BB I tried when they first appeared a few years ago.
First off, the product is very thin and runny - it dripped everywhere but luckily I was standing over the bathroom sink! This consistency does make it very easy to apply though, it blended out well and I was happy with the level of coverage one coat provided. I would quite happily wear this alone without extra concealer or powder if I was going for a natural skin look. The light shade was a good match for my NC20 skin - not too pink and not too orange, it was just right. It also suits my sister who is a shade or so lighter than me, so it is a flexible colour formula. What I was most interested in was its shine-controlling properties - 7 hrs after application there is a slight sheen to my t-zone but noticeably much less than usual, so I'd say it lives up to its claims.
Overall I thought this was a great budget-friendly buy for someone looking for an everyday BB.
this product is so much better than any other bb cream i have used it worked very well on my skin and did go matte .my only problem was it was a little bit darker than my normal foundation is and i have the shade light . it covered my redness, scaring and it had a decent coverage the coverage is build able and it doesn't cake !. it is a very light runny liquid and a little goes a long way . it has stayed all day ! i applied it at 9 in the morning its 7pm and its still going strong . it hasn't melted anywhere it hasn't grabbed to dryer parts on my skin as many matte foundations do . i would defiantly recommend this and was very impressed with this bb cream as other ones seem to not have any coverage.
Tips: i found using a makeup blending sponge worked the best and dabbing it into my skin . instead of doing as it said on the packaging using your hands . using my hands came out quite streaky and was harder to build on .
