Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I liked this product. It had a nice cover on it. I would use it again, as I felt that I didn't have to use any concearler. Usually when I use new make up my skin breaks out, i didn't have this with this product. As I've only used it for a week, I haven't noticed too much of the difference in skin. My skin has been very good prior to using this. I felt that it has a good cover, I could of probably gone a shade lighter.I also had to use a powder over as I perfer of a more Matt finish and found that this product had too much of a shine, it could be due to the colour not being the correct colour for me. Regarding the below:

Skin Type - My skin is very good at moment due to using artifry product. I have a few blemishes Consistency - I found the consistency really good, little watery but no need to use much thought. Application - I found it really easy to apply, as it is just like a moisture. Fragrance - I didn't notice a smell, which is good I guess, as most make up with smells, tend to have unnessary stuff in it, which I think can cause break outs for me. Coverage - I found it a full coverage, but with a shine finish, this could be due the colour not being a good colour for me. Longevity - Lasts all day, I did use primer and put powder on top, as I felt like it needed it. If the colour was right for me, I think it would look perfect with a bit of lippy and mascura for a casual day look. Price - I couldn't find the price for this product. I think that about 15 to 20 would be a good price. Reasonable. Packaging - the packaging works I would suggest something at the top so it comes out slower as it is quite watery and goes out fast. Results - I like it, and will continue to use it. As far as results, it's too soon to tell, I think it covers well, my spotss I did have have disappeared. Would you recommend it - Yes I would recommend it, I have already recommend it to my friend.

I have combo skin type, however during the change of seasons I do get really dry (especially going into colder weather). But during the times when my skin is combo, my T-zone gets rather shiny. When I first opened this up to try it, I was not expecting something SO runny! Which of course lead to getting too much product out! although it’s really runny, it is really easy to apply. I definitely love how it doesn’t have a fragrance! When applying this, I found that the coverage isn’t that great. So naturally, I applied again. For me personally, the coverage is buildable, but only to a medium coverage at most. What I did most of the days was to use a powder over it and with the powder, it did last me a good 5-6 hours. However, without the powder, I found that I stayed on maybe a maximum for 3 hours. Price, wise, it retails for about $17 if I remember correctly. I think it is definitely worth the price for what it claims to do. However, compared to other products, there are definitely other bb cream that does a better job. Having done design and graphics, I’m not a fan of the packaging. The fact that the product is extremely runny, I don’t think a tube is the best idea. However, aesthetically, I think its average. It’s the standard Garnier colours and logos. After testing this product for a week, I have noticed that it does control shine on my T-zone, for the majority of the day. The finish of this is matte. They claimed that it reduces pores, however I can’t say much about that as I naturally don’t have large pores. They also say that it corrects blemishes, this definitely did not happen for my. But it did even out my complexion, and my skin did feel hydrated. After trying this, I would definitely recommend this product to a friend who has the same skin type as me! 

To start with the packaging – I thought it was eye catching, modern and sleek. The long thin bottle the product is contained in gives off the feeling that it’s a premium top of the range dermatological cream. The cream oozes out easily and thinly with small nozzle, making it easy to use the right amount.

The consistency of the cream feels very silky and light and it applies on your face really smoothly. I used my hand to apply the cream and felt nice and light to apply to my skin and it dried very quickly leaving a nice matte finish. My skin type is normal-oily so I wanted something that wasn’t greasy and didn’t make my skin oily and this cream was perfect for that as it went to a matte finish rather than appearing shiny. I also have quite a lot of visible open pores and I noticed that the cream did a good job of reducing the visibility of these before I even put my foundation on which was a big plus! The cream only has a very subtle smell and it doesn’t last too long but it’s nice and fresh smelling.

I tried this product on every day with foundation over top and once without anything else but the cream. The cream doesn’t have enough coverage to be able to wear by itself which is why I used the foundation over top. The foundation however, looked even better over top of the B.B. cream and went on really nicely. I found it was even better coverage than usual having the two on together and my skin had a really nice matte finish. I couldn’t really tell how long it lasted as I had the foundation on overtop but my face didn’t wear too much over the day. I wore the B.B. cream once with nothing else on in the weekend when I didn’t have much on. It appeared to be better than normal moisturiser by itself as it has a slight tint to it and it evened out my skin tone a bit better so I felt comfortable not wearing anything else. In saying that I wouldn’t go to work with nothing else on because I need a bit more coverage than that. I would say that the cream by itself lasted for maybe 3 quarters of the day.

Overall I rate the product highly as it did exactly what it said it would do on the packing. It had shine control and gave off a matte effect, it reduced the visibility of my pores and it evened out my skin tone. I would definitely recommend it to friends (I have already recommended it to my mum) and I would love to see the results after 4 weeks! I’m not sure what the price is for this product but for the 40ml I would be prepared to pay up to $25.

I am a big fan of BB creams as they give great coverage and are also great for your skin! I have tried many and I can confidently say that the Garnier BB cream is my absolute favourite! It gives great coverage and makes your face feel and look so smooth with out looking orange and cakey. I also love how affordable it is. I have already recommended it to many and my sisters love it too! Highly recommend! :)

Overall I found this to be a good product that I will use again but like anything it did have its pro's and cons. Pros. The product itself is quite a runny consistency which made it very easy to apply. The coverage was very good for a BB cream. I have super oily skin and this did a very good job at keeping the oil under control when using a powder. Cons - Although I got the lightest colour it was still too dark for me. Might be OK in the summer but if you are very fair like me (NW15) this might not be the product for you. Although I have very oily skin this actually looked very dry and flaky towards the centre of my forehead. I found this very unusual because it definitely wasn't dry and I used two of my regular foundations while I was trialling this and they did not cake, it has also never happened with any other product so remains a mystery to me. Overall is a decent product and is good value for money.

I thought that this product was great. I would recommend it to many people and it's even better because it has an SPF, making it perfect for in the summer time as well. It's light on my skin but provides a natural perfecter to any blemishes. I would recommend this product to all.

I have the usual T zone issues with a bit of dry skin around the frame of my face. I also have lots of freckles. The Garnier BB cream was a very fluid consistency, very light but not too watery. It wasn’t thick and cloying like some liquid foundations. It’s easy to apply. Pretty much the same as you would put on your moisturiser. You can apply with a foundation brush for heavier coverage. It didn’t have much of an aroma so no unpleasant smells. Depending on your application you could have quite a sheer cover or a bit heavier to cover any blemishes. I’m not big on heavy foundation so I used a moderate amount of the cream. It gave a very smooth even cover that still let my freckles show through just enough. When first applied it gave great matte coverage but I found that my oily zones would start to come through by lunchtime. By the end of the day I found it had mostly worn off. I also used the BB cream as a base for a mineral powder and found that it lasted quite a bit longer with this combo. It’s a reasonably priced product, some I have seen for a lot more so pretty good value. The packaging is simple and yet tells the consumer what they need to know at a glance.

Love this product so much. It's so easy to apply and makes your skin flawless like your wearing makeup but without the heaviness that foundation has.
