Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I have the shade medium and overall I really enjoy using the product. It has a very watery consistency which I actually love. It has great coverage yet a very light natural feel. I applied the bb cream after moisturizing and used my real techniques expert face brush with a touch of blush and mascara for an effortless natural look. It blended well and had a very soft matte finish that lasted all day without getting shiny which is great as my usual foundations tend to slip off my face after 7 hours yet mine lasted a good 9 hours at least! I did try using a setting powder over the top to see what it looked like but found it looked too cakey and doesn't really need it anyway. The only down side was that it was a bit orangey for my skin tone so had to blend my neck in with a bit of bronzer hence why I didn't give it a full 5 stars. I will however be purchasing the light shade to see if that may be a better fit for me.

I received this product to trial and it's going up against a tough contender - my one and only holy grail product, the Vital Orange BB Cream from Korean brand Skin79, which I started using using two years ago and haven't touched any other face product since... until now. I have always avoided "western" bb creams after hearing time and time again that they're just glorified tinted moisturisers trying to hop on the bb bandwagon.

The first thing I noticed about this product was the consistency - it's quite runny, which makes it hard to control the amount of product you want, and makes a mess of the lid. I didn't find this made application any more difficult, though.

The colour "Light" is about a shade too dark for me. It may hopefully be wearable for me in the summer if I manage to get some colour. The undertone doesn't appear to lean too orange nor too pink. It provides the perfect light coverage to even out your skin tone rather than cover it up, exactly what I expect from a bb cream.

I like to build up coverage in places where I need it rather than using a concealer. I did not find this product at all easy to build, an extra layer didn't do much to my visible veins and dark circles other than leave an obvious dark patch. Maybe I wouldn't see a problem if the shade actually matched me, but it does seem that if you want to build up coverage, you're going to need a lot.

I do always set my T zone area with a translucent powder, but the other areas of my face weren't left with that tacky, un-set feeling that I was expecting due to the runny consistency. All areas of my skin looked and felt nice and matte. The product stayed well throughout the day, and my skin did not get noticeably shiny.

The main difference I find between a good bb cream and a regular face product is the feeling after taking it off after a day of wear. Your skin feels GOOD after taking off a bb cream, like it's been doing something beneficial for your skin, not just providing coverage. I didn't get that feeling after wearing this product. I took it off and my skin felt like it needed to be thoroughly cleansed, toned and moisturised, pronto.

A nice light coverage product with a nice matte finish, but not quite a bb cream. Sorry, Garnier.

Alright so this is my first review on here so lets do this, I have oily combination skin to begin with and YES by far this has worked wonders for reducing the shine however it still didn't completely give me a matte finish i was hoping for, The coverage was actually not to bad for a bb cream, On one occasion i used the bb as a base for my own foundation and i did love the look and coverage i was able to achieve. I think i do need to go to the light for winter and use this medium shade for the winter as it was a tad bit dark for me, my only main concerns with this would be the way it seems to leak out of the tube every time i took lid off so it could get a tad bit messy. overall i would recommend this product to my friends and family especially for the price

I have oily and sensitive skin and I frequently have to deal with acne and clogged pores. I also have open pores on my cheeks and the centre of my forehead, so when I saw this product I just knew I had to try it.

The bb cream is pretty watery, and it feels incredibly light on my skin. I must say that for such a watery and light bb cream, the pigmentation of this bb cream is incredible. A little goes a long way. I also love how the tube feels solid, and although it doesn't look like it, I think the tube actually holds a lot of product and will last me a long time.

So as I said, the pigmentation of the bb cream is superb, and it provides pretty decent coverage. I have quite a fair bit of blemish marks on the side of my cheek, and one layer of this managed to make them about 60-70% less noticeable. Only the major marks still show through. Since I usually wear this in the day, I haven't tried building up coverage, but I believe it can be easily be done by applying just one or two more layers.

On the downside, I find that the color may look a little orange toned on some people, and I have heard similar comments from friends as well. It came out looking pretty orange on my hand, but when it dried out it looked rather natural and didn't have that grey shade that most bb creams do.

Application of this is easy as it is runny and spreads easily. I find that i can quickly distribute it evenly without having to rub or tug at my skin too much. So when you're rushing in the morning, slapping this on doesn't take much time. The watery feel disappears after a while and the product becomes matte, but you still have sufficient time to spread it out on your face before it dries out.

Perhaps due to the recent change in weather, I think my skin is experiencing some dryness, and the dry skin shows through really obviously with this bb cream, so don't use this if you have dry skin. On the bright side, this has worked wonders in reducing the appearance of pores. I also tried this on half my face, and at the end of the day the side with this bb cream on was more matte than the other side with NOTHING on. So it definitely does what it claims - smaller pores, matte face, reduces imperfections... The only claim I strongly disagree with is that it is moisturizing (so I gave 4/5 stars)

In conclusion, this product has truly impressed me, and I can't wait to bring this back to hot and humid Asia to test out. The low price is definitely a plus point as well.

The coverage is absolutely amazing and it blends out so well, I loved using this as a foundation rather than a BB cream. I'd recommend this to anyone who is wanting a light yet full coverage BB cream. The only downsides I had with this was the packaging as every time I would twist the lid off the product would squirt out on its own. And my skin broke out quite badly after a few uses. But overall it is great!

I haven't heard the best things about garnier bb creams, I remember when the first one came out they were a lot of very disappointed ladies, so I honestly didn't have very high hopes for this, but I was extremely surprised when u first used it. It smooths over my entire face like a primer and covers all my imperfections like a foundation, the coverage in my opinion would resemble that of my loreal true match but it feels like nothing, it doesn't leave my face feeling greasy and it lasts surprisingly well, I can put it on in the morning, run a few errands, play with my son all day at the park, come home have a nap and wak up with it still pretty much the same as it was when I put it on! I don't feel like I need to use a foundation over the top but it would be a good base if you wanted an extra boost of coverage to your normal foundation, and I barely feel like I need concealer. Very very happy with this product

This was the first time I have used a BB cream so I wasn't to sure what to expect. After trying this I think I will definitely consider using it again. I have quite oily skin, and so have been using an oil-free foundation. I wasn't too sure how well this would work because of this, and having tried other foundations and getting a very oily look I was a bit skeptical of this. However, it worked like it said it would.

As for the claims it makes, I'd say it lives up to them all, apart from the matte effect but that isn't a big issue for me. It's nice being able to use it to hydrate my skin as well and as a foundation. It goes on very easily, a little goes a long way.

This BB cream works either just by itself for a light coverage, but also under foundation for a bit more coverage. I wore it both ways depending on how much coverage I wanted for the day. The colour worked well for me. Initially when I saw the colour on my hand I thought that it would be way to dark, but once it was applied to my skin it seemed to blend in perfectly.

I almost fell of my chair when I heard that this "miracle cream" was promising to replace 5 creams I had cluttering my drawers. Yeah right! - I thought. It's not until I actually tested Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream that I found out it actually does target all this crucial areas: 1-It perfects your skin while (2) giving it a matte finish; (3) it moisturises your face and it gives you UV protection (4), all that while making you look tan (5)!. I normally use it over my clean skin after the toner. Since I've started I've been getting compliments from people who say my skin looks fresh and young. yayyy. Even though BB is a sunscreen, it's not heavy, nor does it make your skin look white and dull. I use it for day and night. I'm a fan of its light consistency and it's always a precious bonus to get coverage out of your moisturiser! Thanks Garnier!

I found this really lovely to use. It didn't dry my skin out and it is very light. It covers any marks or blemishes and dark circles. I would use this all the time!

First things first, the package (Box) nothing really stood out about it, if I saw it in a shop it would stand out with other products, as I think the colour's on the box are not bright enough. Also the words should be in bold, and logo brighter. The product it's self, I found the smell was really strong, smelt like a purfume. When I put it on I thought it would be easy to spreed around my face, yet I felt like it dried as I moved it around. The colour was lovely, however I found you would have to put alot on to get a good coverage, and in doing that the colour tends to go to dark and loses the effect of a even skin tone. My skin didnt react at all which was good, and I did notice my face was not as (oil shiny) as it often is which was also a bonus. I wouldnt use this again however I would recommend others to try it as its not a bad product, just not for me.
