Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I really enjoyed testing this product out. I'm still new to most things makeup and only tend to use BB cream on its own rather than with foundation.

The cream was thicker than I first expected, and I wasn't sure that it would match my skin tone at first but it blended out quite well and looked very natural. I used my fingers to apply it, and after a few days and a bit of practice I didn't seem to be using so much of the product each time.

The coverage of the BB cream was great, with all the redness and blemishes covered very well. I didn't even need to use concealer which was quite nice.

One issue I did have was that the BB cream wouldn't go matte on application. I ended up having a shiny face after applying it which wasn't what I wanted. However, it did do a really good job other than this.

Finally i have found a BB Cream that does what it says it will do.. On the first day i applied it alone with no primer (which i always have to do) and it was great, I applied it with my Real techniques expert sponge, it applied so smooth and flawless and had great coverage. Now for the oil factor, I have such oily skin it is ridiculous. This is great as i always have to go really matte to cover the oil but i didn't have to while trialing this, for the first time I could have a dewy look without it looking like an oil slick. I am so so happy and think this may be my new "foundation"

I must admit, I went into this trial not having too high of hopes!! I have tried BB Creams in the past and have not really been too fussed with them. I always just thought they were a remarketed Tinted Moisturizer, and if I was going to wear colour on my skin I wanted coverage that didn't make me look like a dirty, shiny mess (which I have found with tinted moisturiser).

Despite my hesitations I am always keen to try new products and when I heard there was an Oil Free option I jumped at the opportunity to give this product a go.

BB Cream – Oil Free in Light The BB Cream came in a nice black box with a picture and details of the product on the front/back, which gave it an upmarket feel (rather than in a clear fronted package or singularly). The bottle itself was long and slender with a cream colour, silver touches and a screw cap.

The formula is extremely runny which you must be careful of when opening up the cap otherwise it will drip everywhere. I first applied this using my fingers which was a little messy and uneven, however I applied this under my foundation so was not too worried as I would even it up upon foundation application. I was amazed at the results I got under my foundation. My skin looked smooth, healthy and Oil Free… I couldn’t quite believe it!! Another bonus, I did not need to apply as much foundation and did not need to set with powder as it left me with quite a matte finish. Most of the time I wore this under foundation using different tools for application: Fingers, Sigma F80 & RT Blender. I found the product was best to apply with either a brush or blender. The F80 gave a more sheer finish while the Blender heavier, I would recommend using brush or Blender not fingers. The last couple of days I have worn the BB Cream on its own with concealer and a little powder. I find the BB is great when building up and actually thought I would not need a foundation when applying two coats! I remained Oil Free all day and even received compliments on how flawless my skin looked! I initially thought the “Light” may have been too light but was really happy with the colour but I think I would use the Medium in the summer months. I always applied over moisturiser as I moisturise as soon as I have got out the shower. I have marked lower for results as I have not used for 4 weeks so unable to vouch with their 4 week use claims.

Overall I LOVE this Oil Free Garnier BB Cream and will make it a staple in my beauty routine. It really did make a difference in the appearance of my skin.

This BB feels so smooth and light when you put in on, and it blends super easy. The coverage is awesome, it easily evened my skin tone out. My skin is feeling super soft at the moment and I have been thinking to myself that my pores look less visable lately and then I realised that was one of the claims made about this BB so I would say it's been doing its job! I have worn the BB serveral days and have had a mixed bunch some days my skin stayed matte and others was very oily but both days I did think by the afternoon the coverage had gone and I needed to reapply, using a finishing powder helped a little with this. I will definitely be buying more of this when I run out well worth it!

I have combo skin - I'm generally prone to dry patches on my cheeks, the sides of my nose and my forehead. My nose and chin on the other hand are oily. I'm also prone to redness, I guess it's the English in me!

First impressions - product comes in a box, whilst I'm not a fan of extra packaging, the box is full of product information. This BB Cream is in a different packaging to the rest of the range, it's a slender, long tube with a screw lid, which I do prefer to the clip tops. (I'm heavy handed, and always snap clip tops off) My only gripe is the product does come out of the tube rather fast!

I love BB Cream and I usually go for a medium shade, but as it's Winter I decided to opt for light. Brilliant choice - it's a great match for my skin, and blends well. The product itself is quite runny, which I've not experienced in a BB cream before, but it does make the application really quick and blending easy.

It smells a little like sunscreen, which given it's got SPF in it you can't really complain!

Ok, results time.

Upon first application (after my usual moisturising routine) I found the product easy to apply and blend. The finish was matte, without being flat and dull, and I felt it covered my rosy cheeks really well. However it did cling to the sides of my nose, leaving a flaky finish. Luckily I wasn't leaving the house! My face stayed oil free until my evening shower.

Second time round I really moisturised my face, and applied a primer first. (L'Oreal Lumi Magic, aka, the most amazing primer in the world). I then applied the BB cream to everywhere except my nose crevices. I mixed a little moisturiser with a little BB cream and used the mixture on that area. It worked a treat. Again the finish was sheer and light, not too matte and lasted really well through the day.

I love this BB Cream, being fussy I'd want it to be a bit more rich in moisture, but it's an easy fix by adding my usual moisturiser,

Great product I have worn it for 5 days now, nice even coverage stays on all day and non greasy, even works well on the dry patches! Of anything I would say a little to orange for me I did mix it with moisturiser to get the right colour for my skin. Overall I would buy this product

This was my first time using this and i have to say I loved it. I don't use anything like this on a daily basis anymore so was a bit out of practice but i found it easy to apply, it felt nice on my skin, and i noticed my skin looked even and not patchy. My skin also feels softer and smoother after I've taken it off. Overall I'd have to say i do like it and so far it seems to be doing what it's meant to.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15. I have very big pores and as a result I only use powder on my face as a base otherwise my skin feels "trapped" and it feels it cannot breathe under the make up if that makes sense? I was very excited to try the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15. I have used it everyday and not once have I experienced any sweat or "trapped" feelings on my skin. To me that was the big test as many other products out there will give a smooth round off look. I am so hooked on this. My skin stayed oil free for the full day which was amazing for me!!!! It hides all the pores and gave me a smooth finished look. Thank you for sending me the trial. I am hooked for life.

Absolutely love it.as I have oily skin the bb cream hid that , as it works with my skin.didnt have to use much at all ,it spreads across my face smoothly. It doesn't make you look like you put heaps on .yet you knw you have covered any plimishes \pimples. It says to can apply one coat then another over top again ,perfect for a night out which I did.it just gives a little bit more to the night look.i used just one layer for day time.so its not over the top .it feels to me after you apply like its turned in to powder to set it which is awesome .medium was the colour I choose I wouldn't go any lighter.but for summer would need slightly darker one if any.bonus is that it has spf 15 if you forget sunscreen. At least your slightly covered. Im not sure if my pores are less visable tho as it states. Only need to squeeze the tube a little bit otherwise you will get to much.good size tube ! Face does feel soft as well. Id keep using this bb cream for sure.

I was really excited to try this BB cream as I had heard good things from friends about this so I had quite high expectations and after using this every day for the past week it has really lived up to these! For myself this has been a great alternative to wearing foundation every day, as during the week I don't like to wear to much makeup. I really love this product and it has definitely been the best BB cream I have used. I much prefer this to a tinted moisturiser as it has better coverage and with oily patches tinted moisturiser can leave me looking a bit shiny. The consistency is very runny which makes it easy to apply with a foundation brush and blend easily over your face, only a small amount is needed as a little goes a long way. The medium colour was perfect for me. It looks very natural and leaves a very even look over my whole face with a nice matte finish which is just what I like. My pores and imperfections were definitely less visible, it had really great coverage especially when I applied a second coat I thought it looked better than my current foundation. I can't wait to use this in summer as it is lightweight but still gives a great coverage and helps with the oily patches on my face. It lasts well throughout the day but a downside for me is that even though it feels like it is dry it still comes off quite easily when clothing touches my face. This is an amazing BB Cream for such a low price and can be purchased almost anywhere. Overall I feel this is a great product and does everything it says it will. I will be recommending it when asked what BB cream I have found to be the best and definitely buying it once this one has run out.
