Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I have previously used the medium version of this product and liked the coverage. It was a little dark for me though so I thought the light would be perfect. Unfortunately I just didn't find this had enough coverage. It felt like a tinted moisturizer to me. My skin is combo light, light to med in summer. I would try again but probably use it with a primer and then a foundation after on a night old.

I found this product very good, I was dreading that the colour would not match mine (me being a Polynesian girl) however, this product kept my skin oil free throughout the day. It's easy to apply and blends well within my skin. It didn't leave any marks (thank goodness!) and also does not have a scent to it... I personally don't like strong smelling scents.

I hadn't really got on this BB cream band wagon until BR gave me the opportunity. I was using the shade Medium for the Combination to Oily skin, as I have exactly that, Oily to combination skin.

My first impression was the bottle was simple and attractive but slightly awkward, so it pulled me in more to try the BB cream, then as I opened the bottle and gave it a squeeze to see what the product was like and it was really runny and the product dispenser hole is to big for the runny consistency. I prefer my face products to be a bit thicker. The smell smelt to chemically, and it kind of put me off.

Thoughts when using product: they say a little goes a long way, and that is definitely right for this product, which is a great feature as, it means it can last that little bit longer. I found it easier to apply it with a brush to get a more even finish than when I applied it with my fingers. With this product giving a light coverage it was great to wear if you dont want to put a complete 'face' on and the smell I mentioned above? Non existent when on your face. YAY!

I tried many different methods with the BB cream: With primer, without primer, Primer/setting powder, base for foundation. and to be honest the best method I found was just using the primer with the BB cream.

As the days wore on, I found it a great product even when it 'developed' a bit to much, but then I just reduced the product amount applied the next day. I didn't have any issues with it wearing off during the day , I would get a good 7 hours out of one wear before I would take it off.

I had one little issue though, I became very itchy around my face when I used it. But I loved this product for all its minor flaws and it is a great product.

I would recommend this product if all you are looking for is a light coverage and easy quick application.

So my skin type is really sensitive and really dry, a lot of things can irritate my skin and some cosmetics and skincare products can make my face flaky and red and GROSS, so i was a little sceptical. The consistency of this product is really quite watery but has a surprising amount of coverage for this! was a medium coverage BB in my opinion and it lasted really throughout the day, i never noticed any tightness or irritation on my face which was really nice and a little goes a long way which makes monetary value really good. I applied it with a brush and beauty blender and both were really nice finishes, i would say the finish is definitely not matte but semi-dewy i would say. I didn't notice any sort of fragrance which is nice and the packaging is really sleek and attractive, super easy to fit in to bags and things as well! Overall the product did mostly do what it says, although i didn't notice much of a difference in skin tone/pore areas. But am quite pleased with the product :)

I tried out the Oily/combo skin type cream as my skin is typically quite oily and prone to breakouts. I also get dermatitis on my face at times. I found this cream had a really good consistancy, although it did come out really quickly when I first used it. It spread really easily and gave an even coverage. I simply applied it with my fingers, as I would apply moisturiser, although I dont really know how to apply most of my makeup so I have no idea if thats what I am supposed to do :) I didnt notice any particular smell to this cream which I really enjoyed as I find lots of moisturisers and makeup have overpowering fragences (especially as I am senstive to smells due to medical issues). I wore this for the first time to the pub to have a few drinks and play pool, and it lasted much longer then anyother makeup I have ever used. The only thing I absolutely love is simply that its not obvious, most foundations or makeup look exceptionally obvious on me due to my skin tone so I dont tend to wear makeup very often. I quite liked the packaging of this product, although I personally would never be able to rationalise the purchase of it, even though it is wellpriced, simply due to being a student. I would definately recommend this product to all my friends, I absolutely loved it.

First off, I have oily/combination skin - I get oily especially around the nose and relatively normal skin elsewhere. I thought that I would be Medium skin-toned as I am olive skinned, however, it was much too dark and orange-toned for me, However, I continued to use it in order to test out the formula and whether it worked, before I think about possibly getting the light one. One thing I didn't like was how runny the consistency was, it made application messy. It did go on quite smoothly though which was good. I just used my fingers to apply it, but will look into using brushes or blenders when I get some.

In terms of coverage, it was a very light coverage, especially as I have a lot of acne scars and a few blemishes that it didn't cover, and putting on more than 2 layers started looking quite cakey.

My face stayed matte for quite a few hours but I did notice oily patches showing through after about 4 hours of wear. It does minimise the appearance of pores which is good, but it definitely does not cover redness and imperfections. I still need concealer to do all that. I would recommend it for people who have few blemishes and redness but if you need coverage, then this definitely would not be the product for you. The packaging is quite slim and handy to carry, but I don't like the tube because it just leaks out into the cap, and every time I open it to use, there's just a lot of product sitting in the cap which is both unhygienic and takes forever to clean. It doesn't dry out skin and hasn't broken me out so far which is good, as I have particularly acne prone skin.

Overall though, I would not repurchase as this does not meet my needs and I would most likely opt for liquid foundation with medium coverage instead.

I love Garnier miracle protector bb cream, light. It is fantastic! It feels like you are wearing air and it goes on so softly and smoothly. It is a great base for your make up and makes you look flawless! I also like how it blends in so easily and it does not make your skin greasy. My 18 year old daughter has tried it and loves it also. We have recommended it to all our friends and family. It hydrates your skin beautifully, covers any redness, is light to wear and makes your skin look alive. It comes in different combinations for different ages and skin types. Also different colors. So try it, you won't be sorry. We love it.

I got the oily to combo skin, in medium. My first time using BB Cream, I have heard a lot of good things about it. I don't normally wear make up. Only mascara and eye liner on occasions.

So here is what I thought.

Skin type - I have oily to combo skin. My chin and upper lip is the only place I get break-outs/acne. I was concerned this would make me break-out.

Consistency - When I opened it, some of the product oozed out. Product was watery.

Application - It's easy to apply. The box does say to apply as you would your moisturiser. So I did. After I washed my face, I applied the product with my fingers. I rubbed it in, making sure I covered all my face.

Fragrance - It smells like makeup. Im not sure if it's supposed to smell like anything. I couldn't smell anything after I applied the BB Cream to my face.

Coverage - The coverage was matte, and light coverage. I applied it twice to my nose and chin to hide the blemishes.

Longevity - I wore it through out the day, I found my nose started to shine. Lots of oil on my nose, when I dabbed my nose with a tissue to get that shine off, a little of the product came off. Other than that, no other problems.

Price - I see this BB Cream being sold at Countdown and other supermarkets. I haven't brought any other BB Cream to compare. So I wouldn't know.

Packaging - It's easy to just pop into your handbag. The product does spill out the top, there is no need to squeeze any out as it will just ooze out.

Results - I will either have to find out where they stock a different shade or find another BB Cream that has a darker shade as it's too light.

Recommend to friends? Sure, they might even find it works better for them.

I have oily / combination skin so I was really excited to try this product. I was given the light shade which suited my skin well.

It is super easy to apply, but I will note that when I first opened it it splattered all over the place so I had a bit of mess to clean up! The consistency is very light which makes for a light coverage. Normally I would go for a more medium - full coverage, but this was a nice change.

Because it was such a light coverage I found it didn't last the whole day and I had an oily forehead and nose at the end of the day.

I would definitely recommend this to someone who likes a light coverage, but it probably won't be replacing my everyday foundation.

This wasn’t the first time I have tried a BB cream, I wasn’t overly hopeful as I am used to full coverage foundation however I gave it a whirl. I work shift work, often starting early so I love easy application at the hour of the morning. Literally squirted out (careful comes out quick!) blobbed some around my face and blended in with clean hands, viola. Done. I have pale skin, often get redness on cheeks, dry areas around eyes and on forehead but then oily T-zone. I’m a nurse so in and out of steamy showers, under pressure often getting hot and flustered and long store short – the BB cream was still there at the end of the day. Like I said I usually wear a full coverage foundation – I was happy with the coverage. I had no dryness. No more oil the usual on my T Zone (when not applied under foundation) and covered by red cheeks. I did apply under foundation, an found my face felt oily and heavy all night. Summing up – totally recommend as a light, everyday reliable coverage
