I have used this product in the past , a little product goes a long way, and smells nice. But it’s definitely not a product I would recommend it I found the colour I used was very orange and make me look like I had a bad fake tan. Also felt very heavy on the face and didn’t last all day like I hoped it would.

I honestly love this product for day-to-day life, I have found it gives light coverage which is great when you dont want a full face of make up or in a hurry. Easy to apply just like putting on your moisturiser in the morning and evens out your skin tone. It is affordable so great to just have your make up bag.
I never knew what BB cream was. So when I won a make up prize and saw this product I was excited to try it. Now the cream comes out white and as you apply it, it starts to match your skin colour. There's no need for any foundation on top if this. And to say I like it, is an understatement.
Tips: My tip would be to make sure you get the natural shade that way you will always get a fresh new look.
I just reviewed another version of this and it was very similar sadly. There are garnier versions I love but the latest 2 I have tried have been a disappointment.
I am mixing this with a sunscreen to get a nice consistency that is light and wearable. The consistently is otherwise their usual quite thick formula but it really causes my skin to break out so I mix to get a lighter cream for my skin.
It’s heavy and thick and the colour is a bit dark for me so it doesn’t blend well, the mixing with my sunscreen helps this. As with another formula of theirs I’ve used it causes this cakey appearance on my skin.. which can then rub off like skin peel it’s very odd. It doesn’t really absorb and cover it sits and covers like icing so isn’t a natural blended look.
Longevity on the skin isn’t great either it’s short lived not dewy or fresh. And definitely dries after time.
Even when I’ve mixed it I’m not 100% happy but its better that’s for sure.
Tips: Mix with sunscreen to lighten formula and use up
I purchased Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream while I was at the supermarket because it was on special and I was excited to try it but it wasn't good to me. I have a combo to oily skin and this BB cream makes me oily. I have a weird skin and some BB and foundation liquid just doesn't suit my skin type. I've read some good reviews about it that's why I also wanted to try it but it just didn't go well on my face. I love Garnier products but maybe this wasn't made for my weird skin type.
I have used this regularly for perhaps 9 years. I use the medium one and it's a good match for my olive skin. It gives good coverage, if I need more I add foundation over it. It gives me a healthy glow and hydrates my skin. It does wear off after a few hours. A tube lasts ages, I only need 2 or 3 each year. I would be lost without it.
Tips: Wouldn't recommend for very oily skin.
I used to use this BB cream and I'll start by saying the formula was quite nice for my dry skin but I don't think it would be suitable for an oily skin type.
I had the shade Medium which was a good match for my olive skin in the summer but too dark for me in the winter so I couldn't use it then. I always applied it with my hands and it spread evenly and provided a sheer tint.
In my opinion it didn't really do much except give a slight glow to my face because the formula was quite dewy but I did like that effect. However, it dried down after a few hours and it didn't layer nicely so I do think there are better BB creams around at this price point.
This BB cream was what got me into makeup. It provided light-medium coverage, adjusted to my skin-tone and felt light and comfortable on my skin. My skin looked healthy and fresh and not oily. The cap clicked tightly close and the light packaging meant it was easy to use on the go and to keep in your bag. Overall a great budget BB cream, especially for a beginner to foundation and makeup.
I found this product really clumpy and horrible - it clumped in some areas of my face and just didn't spread very evenly or provide any coverage at all. I also found it really oily. Only thing I can give it points for it that it smelt great and was cheap! But this was near when it was released so it may have improved since, I would be open to trying again if someone I knew had some on them as I have heard other reviews saying people love it!
Tips: Lid is a little flimsy at times so be sure to really press it on firm if taking with you
I have purchased this a few times because it was on special for like $5. Definitely not a skin perfector. I don't like it, I broke out while using it and one particular color I chose was so orange it was like using a fake tan on my face and it smelt strongly of fake tan. It doesn't have any coverage. Won't buy this one again. There are much better BB creams out there that are just as affordable.
