Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I found this BB cream really really good! Its much more mattifying than other from this range, and I found that it lasted me through the whole day without starting to slide around on my face, or even losing its matte appearance! I was quite surprised at this as it is noticeably more liquid-y than other BB cream products from this range, but it still blends fine and does noticeably reduce uneven skin tone or redness! This product is perfect for lazy days where you don't feel like spending ages on your makeup but also don't want to look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards (which is how i usually do look without makeup) so I will definitely be using it again!!!

The first thing i noticed about this bb cream is just how runny it is, i got far too much out the first time i used it as it just flows out so easily! I find using a very small amount, a tiny bit more than pea size is all i need to cover my face, so the bb cream is going to last quite a while if you only use a small amount like myself, even if you use it every day, and for such a decent price it is definitely worth the money. I find it quick and easy to use, takes all of 1 minute, if that to apply it and blend it in well, which is great for all the busy women out there! I have combination skin, so this is perfect for it, it gives me a fresh dewy look without looking dry or shiny in certain places, my whole face looks even and flawless. Its not so thick that my freckles still show through, something i like as all other foundations i have used cover them up and i end up looking too done up. The fact that this gives me a more natural even coverage while not hiding all my freckles, is perfect. I will definitely be recommending this to my friends.

I was sceptical about using this to say the least!!!!! It seemed weird to me that moisturiser and makeup were combined. But I really liked it. I applied to my skin with no other base and found the coverage great, for those wanting a heavier coverage it probably wouldn't suit as even with a second layer its not quite enough. Perfect for me as a busy mum though who doesn't wear heaps of make up and has minimal time for my beauty regime. Would definitely use again. My skin felt nice, not greasy so yep definitely a bit of me. Thanks very much for the opportunity to review xo

I love the idea of this product but unfortunately it didn't do for me what it said it would.

Appearance- The look of the product is really nice. It's in a thin tube with a small tip.

Consistency- This product is very thin and quite runny so you need to be careful when getting it out of the tube. It isn't very easy to apply and seems quite dry and that it won't blend well.

Colour and Coverage- The colour is perfect and becomes invisible but somehow covers imperfections quite well! It definitely isn't as good as a full foundation but it does provide a nice even finish.

Smell- I didn't notice any overpowering smell when applying or during the day so that was nice.

Effectiveness- This product wasn't very moisturising for me and even with a moisturiser on underneath it was quite hard to blend. It claims to provide a matte finish but I found it to look quite shiny and after a couple of hours my face was quite oily. I tried it the next day with a powder over top and it was still shiny.

Would I recommend it? I would recommend the original BB cream as I found it better overall.

When choosing this product i wasnt sure which shade to choose so i chose medium, in hind sight i should've chosen light. I like the coverage it gives when applied thickerish, but i have to apply it thinly because its slightly too dark for my skin. I havent used it for long enough to know how it works on minimising pores Will definately try again making sure i chose the correct shade

I thought that this BB cream was amazing. It is the first drug store BB cream that I have found works with my skin and does not make it too oily. I have combination skin with a bit of extra oil on my T zone. I trialled the BB cream (medium) a couple of different ways and found that it made my foundation last longer and provided a good coverage base layer. I tried it with and without using moisturiser under it and thought it worked well both ways and still kept my foundation in place. I used my fingers to apply the formula and thought that the product spread over the skin easily and evenly. I have a portwine birthmark on the left side of my face and found that the BB cream gave a good amount of coverage and the SPF15 is an added bonus.

After reading everyones glowing reviews of the BB Cream I decided to finally try it! And even better - it was on sale for $16 this week at the supermarket! I found this one for oily and combination skin, which is great for me, because parts of my face get really dry (especially under my eyes and around my nose) but other parts get really shiny and oily (mainly my forehead). I also tend to get some redness on my nose and chin and this promised to help with it, so I figured 'why not?'.

The bottle is really pretty and simple, the smell is nice, but barely noticeable (which for sensitive skin is best), it was easy to apply and feels great on. The first time I tried it I followed the instructions and used it instead of moisturizer, and had it under my foundation. But after reading a couple of other reviews I used a little bit of moisturizer the next day. The results are great. It feels nice and comfortable on, it helped my foundation last longer, and my skin tone looks so much less patchy now. Love it!

My skin is usually combination - can be oily in places and dry in others. One the oily areas makeup usually wears of quickly and dry arras can be hard to blend. I found the consistency a bit runny at first but quickly got used to it and it has amazing coverage which suprised me for its consistency. It was easy to apply - I used my fingers. Blended very easily and smoothly on both the oily areas and the dry. I moisturized prior to every application which helps. The product had a nice light fragrance that didn't bother me at all.. i barEly noticed it. My skin is quite red especially on my cheeks, but the bb cream blended nicely to cover the redness and evened out my skin tone.. even enough so I was brave enough to wear the bb cream on its own without foundation which I did not expect! It left a nice Dewey almosy matte completion which felt dry to touch and not shiny or oily at all and it almost felt like I wasn't wearing any makeup. I did wear it under foundation when I went out and found it made my skin look amazing and flawless and helped the foundation blend super easy. I even had compliments of how great my skin was looking! On its own it lasted about half a day before the redness in my cheeks and on my nose were visible but under foundation it helped it say put a long longer then normal. The price (around $20.00) is a steal.. i would happily pay between 30 -40.00 for this product! The size is great.. it dosnt take much to get good coverage so I expect this product may last me a while and the spf 15 is a great bonus! The I love the look of the packaging.. very stylish and the shape of the tube was very easy to use and convenient.. easily slips in my handbag! After only a few days of using the bb cream I have noticed it has helped control the shine on my skin and even smoothed out some of the dry areas I had. It blended well to reduce my redness and definatley evened out my skin tone while wearing it. It even reduced the redness of a small mole I have which can be hard to cover. I don't have very noticeable pores anyway so cannot comment on this but it has given a radiance to my skin I didn't have before.. The comments from others I had prove this! I would definatly recommend this to a friend.. In fact I already have! I've tried similar products before claiming to do the same thing but have not found a product yet that worked like it said, but Garnier has managed to do it with this product. I don't think I will ever be without it from now on!

Covers like a foundation, perfects like a concealer, evens, moisturises and tones.... what more could you want? This product goes a long way, smells pleasant, washes away cleaning, feels sheer and light, and is good value for the small amount that it costs in stores. I do find that the tube is a little poorly designed as the liquid runs out as soon as you remove the cap, so care needs to be taken and there is a small wastage issue with product accumulating in the cap. I have now flicked over to this for use during the day instead of foundation, and my skin feels better for it

Was super excited to try this BB cream. I've heard a lot of great things about it.

I have struggled in the past to find a BB cream that is the right shade, hydrates, reduces the appearance of pores, light, good coverage, non-cakey, help control oil and affordable. I think Garnier have hit the nail on the head with this product.

Its perfect. I have tried a few BB cream and found that they all had pros and cons, were with this BB cream its all pros in my eyes. I had a few friends comment on my skin and asked what I was doing different, they were shocked when I told them it was BB cream.

I have been wearing this everyday to work. No need for any touch ups, stays on and looks great. I also find this great as a makeup primer for when I'm going out at night. Foundation sets wonderfully to it and keeps it flawless. It truly is a beautiful product. A must have in your makeup bags ladies.
