Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

I was lucky enough to be on the trial team for this product, so I used it in a number of different ways/situations several times to make sure I can give it a really thorough review. I also used it without moisturising first and with moisturising first. I preferred moisturising first, because I tend to have skin on the dry side. I found that it was good to let the moisturiser dry slightly before applying the BB cream for better coverage. When I applied without moisturiser, I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the cream went on to my skin and did not feel drying.

The cream itself is creamy and light and has a pleasant smell that is not overpowering.

Overall, I really like this BB cream. It is very moisturising and light on my skin so it didn't really feel like I was wearing make up. I often finish the day feeling like I can't wait to wash the makeup off my face, but that wasn't the case with this cream. I still felt like my skin could breathe and I wasn't in a rush to wash and moisturise. The coverage lasted well all day and didn't become splotchy or rub off.

When I first used the BB cream, I was so surprised to see that it was white. It's amazing stuff really - when you apply it to your face you can see it changing colour before your eyes! The product says that it matches your skin tone. I felt that the colour match was probably slightly too dark for my liking.

You can layer the cream to increase the coverage, although it is a BB cream, so it's never going to give you a really flawless coverage. On one of the days that I wore it at work, I had an important meeting, so I applied it twice to increase the coverage and it looked really good. Most importantly, it felt really good all day! I work in an air conditioned office so it's quite drying and I find that my skin generally feels awful by the end of the day. However, it still felt moisturised and like it could breathe with this BB cream on.

When I wore it to the gym, it lasted really well and didn't sweat off. The weekend wear was probably my favourite because one application was the perfect amount of coverage to make me feel confident, but it didn't actually look like I was wearing make up.

I also wore it out to dinner and again, applied it twice for a slightly heavier coverage. I normally wear a heavier foundation when I go out, and I would probably add some concealer or a light application of foundation to my problems areas next time, but all in all, I felt that my face looked nice and felt nice.

The downsides? I think there are three: - it's quite a small bottle, so if you are applying twice for a heavier coverage quite regularly, it won't last very long - you do need to make sure you rub it in well, as I found that it was easy to miss patches and discover them later looking splotchy - the colour was slightly darker than I would have preferred.

Overall, I would recommend this to a friend who wants light, moisturising and breathable coverage.

I was really excited to try this new formula after loving the previous version I bought years ago. The formula is great! Smooth, blends reasonably well and doesn't make my forehead look greasy. It does even the skin tone out nicely, but it comes out very yellow on my skin. I found using a primer underneath actually made it look more yellow and using it just on top of my normal every day moisturiser made it sit nicely and blend easier.

Overall, it's nice to use and doesn't irritate my skin. Watching it transform from a white cream to a gold and white then actually gold cream is slightly scary and you will learn very quickly that a little goes a long way.

At first glance, this bb cream looks near on identical to my 'normal' garnier bb cream. When the product comes out there is a big difference. The vream comes out white with tiny balls within. The cream glides effortlessly onto my skin amd seems to soak in to an extent. It doean't leave my skin with a really shiny complexion. I think that you really notice the 'snapchat filter' look q couple of mins later. My skin has a slight sunkissed glow with my freckles and blemishes blurred a bit. I am really happy with the way my skin looks and feels. I do, however, think that reapplication mid afternoon is required during this humid hot weather. All in all, I like that the smell isn't overpowering, my skin looks natural a bit awesome and that a little product goes a long way!

I received this product to trial recently and have to say the humid weather hasn't been kind for trialing a product of this nature.

It comes in a nice little squeezy tube and is beautifully fragranced. I think it's the apricot oil it contains.

The product itself is white but the second you apply it to your skin it transforms to a coloured BB cream. The colour wasn't a bad match, a wee bit on the orange side but it sheers out to close to invisible. I found it didn't sit all that well around the hairline and eyebrows if you don't blend it in well.

I could see a slight difference in the look of my skin immediately after application, however, it was very short lived and 2 hours later my skin was back to normal, it felt like the product has completely dissolved into my skin and disappeared. For me and my skin that's not something that works as I have quite red skin.

We've suffered from extreme humidity up here in Northland of late and I suspect that has a lot to do with the problems I had, however, it's not something I would repurchase due to this.

If this was a dedicated moisturiser with no tint to it I would try it again as my skin felt nice after use.

I am really pleased that I got the opportunity to put this BB cream to test thanks to the great people at beauty review. I was very keen to try this out especially having used the old one from garnier which unfortunately sounded perfect on paper did not suit me at all. It comes in a similar packaging , a tube , so that's easy to use. It's light with a pleasing fragrance and easily spreads over my skin. It's instantly absorbed and leaves my face feeling smoother and gives it a more even texture. It's moderate coverage so works perfect for a day to day basis and also doubles up as a base for any further make up. For extra coverage I found layering it up works well for me. I love that some spf in there too. The selling point for me was my post delivery dry peeling skin felt hyderated although doesn't do much on the coverage front but that's understandable. The price tag is great for something that I'd use everyday and I will definitely be buying this the next time around. All in all a handy little find , a major improvement on the old product.

I was lucky enough to trial Garnier's newest BB Cream. And I actually quite like it! Unlike other BB Creams, this one is not tinted - so no worries about matching the BB Cream to your skin tone! Rather, it is white and the same texture as a normal moisturiser. The idea is that this BB cream adjusts to the colour of your skin to get a perfect match every time.

I really like the fragrance of this product; feminine, fresh and summer-y. If you are not a fan of fragranced moisturisers or BB creams, then this is not the product for you.

This did not cover my redness or scaring. But in all fairness, I do not use BB creams for this rather I use foundations. I use BB creams under foundation almost as a primer. And for this this product is great! Rather than covering my troublesome skin, it almost slightly blurred it or smoothed the pigmentation. It almost just made my skin look and feel a little less tired.

Overall, would I buy it again? As a primer sure! As an alternative to foundation, no. But I do not find any BB cream covers my redness or scarring so this is not individual to this product. I really like the idea of not worrying about buying the right shade and the smell and feel made my skin feel fresh. So for this reason I will totally continue using this!

I will have to admit I kinda freaked out when I first tried this on my hand and the cream turned from white to an orange-brown...however as you keep rubbing it into the skin it does blend in quite nicely. The consistency is that of your standard moisturiser - not runny but not super thick either. It has less coverage than the BB cream's I usually wear but I would still wear this on a "no makeup" day, just to even out my skin tone. It doesn't do a lot to hide redness unfortunately so if thatch a big concern, a pop of concealer should help.

My skin is dry - I felt this product added a nice level of hydration without making me look shiny. There is a light scent to the product also.

The product comes in your typical BB cream squeezy tube - the same as the original Garnier BB cream I believe and is easy to use, I found it applied perfectly fine just using my hands.

This product was a real surprise. When I saw it was clear I thought how on earth is this going to work? It has. Pleasant, sweet fragrance and is velvety smooth. When I smoothed it on, like magic the blotchyness and sun spots were minimised. Not gone but I didn't expect that from a BB cream. It felt light but gave great coverage and the color was perfect. It was a humid day but it lasted well. Didn't go shiny and I didn't feel I needed to reapply it. I have used other Garnier BB creams but this is by far the best best. I have at tan in summer and not in winter and with being able to adjust to any color this is a go to product anytime. This sits at a fantastic price point for the magic it performs.

I was super excited to receive this product as i’m constantly mixing moituriser with foundation to get a 2 in 1. This product comes out smelling pleasant with little to no smell, is white and smooth. I used it all over my face and it felt light and smooth. It glided over my skin but was very uneven and streaky, requiring quite a bit of work patting it to get an even coverage. There was little colour and no real glow. I tried in the following days squeezing it into my hand and mixing it until the colour was showing before applying it and this seemed to help the application go on better and provide an even coverage. I wouldn’t buy again as it just didn’t give me any colour and the coverage wasn’t smooth enough for me.

I use BB Cream everyday, however this one shockec me at first, when you first get it out of the tube it's white but then as soon as you start rubbing it in it changes to an orange colour, seeing this color I thought I would end up looking like a carrot, however that couldn't be further from the truth, it blended perfectly into my skin and you could hardly tell it was there. While it doesn't offer as much coverage as some others I have tried it looks much more natural and just evens your skin tone and minimises redness. What I like most about it is that it doesn't settle in to your fine lines like others sometimes do so you can use this without a primer making it a good choice when you just want a quick easy choice in the morning.
