Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I was very skeptical about this cream as I do not generally have good experiences with liquid or cream foundations/concealers/cover-ups. But this far succeeded my expectations. I was expecting to have a hard time colour matching with my skin and that it would leave residue on my skin, but I was wrong. This cream glided on smoothly and blended well with my skin tone. More importantly the oil-slick effect I was expecting was non-existant. It was not oily at all, nor dry and crinkly like other creams made for combination skin. It really does leave a beautiful matte finish, and covers my darks circles quite well with out drowning my face in make-up. All in all a great cream for those with combo-skin wanting to smooth out imperfections!.

I was super excited to be included on this trial. I have used the product daily for several days now and have found it excellent as a base or with moisturizer added into it. I am fair but the colour comes out darker than I suit which was such a shame. It lasted well and gave a good coverage when used on its own. It was quite drying and found it felt quite heavy on the skin. I am thinking perhaps I signed up for the wrong type of cream. It Glides on smoothly and was super easy to apply. Perhaps had it been very fair it would've suited me better. Will persevere and see if I adjust to it or find a better way to apply so it is lighter. Mixing with my usual moisturizer has made it much easier to wear.

I think this product is quite "okay". It's perfect for young girls starting to get interested in make up, light coverage, small tinting and it's a moisturizer and sunscreen in one. It's also great for the weekend, if you wanna look okay but not over done for a Sunday afternoon slap this on with some pink lippy and some mascara then your pretty face on a lazy Sunday is good to go. But don't touch your face if you can, it comes off easy and if you sweat easy then this is a no-no.

My face is nothing but a huge shiny mess with or without makeup. I was looking forward to this product as I had been looking for something like this. I love it........but i did need to apply my usual face cream first. The first time I used it I felt like I needed to apply more as it felt a little dry but once I used my cream then the BB cream it was perfection. I keep checking hourly to see if there was any shine sneaking back but no, well not for at least 4-5 hours and I just reapplied, lightly. This is a product I will definitely recommend to my friends. Thanks you!!

I received a trial of this BB cream through Beauty Review and overall it was a great product. Unfortunately due to my own fault, I did not pick the right shade for my skin tone, I picked Medium and it was too orange for my skin, however in my defense the cream was 3+ shades darker than the colour shown on the Garnier website.

The packaging was cute and small, perfect to pop into your handbag for touch ups. The product was quite a runny product, so it's not for those who like a thicker BB cream. It had a light to medium coverage as you would expect for a BB cream and was easily buildable with a couple applications. This BB cream is relatively long-lasting, it lasted for around 6 hours with no touch-ups, which is what I would expect for a drugstore product. It does do what the packet says in terms of matifying completely and absorbing excess oils from oily skin. This product contains SPF 15+ but I would not base my purchase on this sun protection because SPF 15 does not give very high level of protection.

A negative for this product is that it can become quite patchy on the skin when not correctly applied. You've got to be quite careful about evenly applying this runny product as some parts can get more BB cream than others and it can look thinner and thicker on different parts on your face.

I was quite skeptical of this product as I had tried another version of this last year and it was a disaster. I was pleasantly surprised with the oil free variety, I have a very oily t-zone and this BB cream matched my skin tone (light) perfectly, gave great light/medium coverage and kept me relatively matte all day.

The product feels light on the skin and gives a nice finish. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin though, but it is a fantastic product for everyday use.

I got the Garnier BB Cream as part of the trial in the shade light. I was really looking forward to trialling the product however I found it was 2-3 shades too dark for me. I wore the products a few times hoping it may tone down after a bit however the product oxidised and appeared orange and streaky after a while. I liked the consistency as it was easy to spread onto your face although it is a lot runnier than I expected it would be. I feel like it would be a really good product if the shade matched my skintone. I did try the product a few other times with both primer and powder over top just to see if it helped. Primer did stop it oxidising, however it was still too dark.

I have oily skin with rosey red cheeks. Packaging: 2/5 The BB cream is in a long tube that sits on its lid. The reason i rate the packaging so badly is because the cream is very runny so when the tub is stood upright the product pours out when you open the lid. Smell: 1/5 The smell of this is awful it smells like pain thinner, which makes me worry what is in the cream Application: 4/5 after getting it out of the tube hopefully with it not pouring out all over you the cream is easy to apply like any other foundation. Coverage: 4/5 This product covers really nicely. Covers up my red cheeks and has a lovely matte finish. Colour: 3/5 I chose light, my skin is quite fair however the light was too light for me and I am guessing the medium would be far too dark. This is unfortunate that there are only two colour options. I did however manage to overcome this issue by applying some bronzer. With this cream as a base and a little bronzer to match it to my skin the result was awesome . Overall 3/5 I did like this product, it went on well and lasted all day. I still feel like my face was oily at the end of the day however. The smell really put me off as it reminded me off chemicals which does not make me feel good about putting it on my face. The overall look of the skin once this is applied is actually really nice and does a better job than some foundations I have used.

Was so happy to get to review this, have heard a lot about bb creams and garnier is a brand I like. I'm only on day 2 of trial but have to say this bb cream is awesome! As a busy mum I rarely have more than 2 mins to try look presentable.

- product is quite runny, first time I applied I did as said on bottle which is apply like a moisturiser.. This didn't work streaky face all over so I will use a sponge or brush from now on. - this is the perfect shade for me, I have freekles and this blends in and makes me all one shade (lol) - perfect matte finish!! -stays on all day. Re touch in late avo to last longer. - today I've used a powder on top and I'm super happy with the look...no need for a foundation today! -lightweight feels like a moisturiser and I'm hoping all the goodness in it will be good for my skin overtime. -doesn't have a strong smell - feels good ;-) -no oily or patchy parts of face! Which is a big thing for me!

Im not usually an overall fan of bb creams due to their lack ofe coverage I find that this one covers any redness very well and conceals well, the overall texture is very thin and runny not something that I am acostumed to using/wearing the formula seems to be very long wearing and does not melt towards the wnd of the day

overall I think that this bb cream does its job very well and the only dislike I have about it is the texture but that changes once applied to the skin anyway also this bb makes a really good primer/ base for foundation its a win/win from me xx
