Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I was super excited for this trial because i had tried the original Garnier BB cream and was very disappointed as it was thick and greasy. But this was great the watery consistency made for easy application with my fingers and the coverage is great a little goes a long way. I have a lot of freckles and imperfections and it covered them almost completely with just a thin coating. when applying it had kind of a chemical smell but it was fine once applied. i have really oily skin when not wearing makeup (which causes me to break out) so i normally want to wear makeup every day but my normal foundation is to expensive.at around $19 per tube Garnier miracle skin BB cream oil-free its a good foundation for daily use especially since its SPF 15. It is perfect for those days like today where your not doing anything and just want something on or when short of time to get ready in the morning.

Absolutely loved the product! I had assumed a BB cream would give less coverage, but I can totally see this replacing foundation entirely! I experimented with different applications, and found applying with a sponge over a touch of concealer (for under-eye circles) gave me best coverage for minimum product.

this product is so much better than any other bb cream i have used it worked very well on my skin and did go matte .my only problem was it was a little bit darker than my normal foundation is and i have the shade light . it covered my redness, scaring and it had a decent coverage the coverage is build able and it doesn't cake !. it is a very light runny liquid and a little goes a long way . it has stayed all day ! i applied it at 9 in the morning its 7pm and its still going strong . it hasn't melted anywhere it hasn't grabbed to dryer parts on my skin as many matte foundations do . i would defiantly recommend this and was very impressed with this bb cream as other ones seem to not have any coverage.

I was very interested to try this product, as the original Garnier BB cream was the very first BB I tried when they first appeared a few years ago.

First off, the product is very thin and runny - it dripped everywhere but luckily I was standing over the bathroom sink! This consistency does make it very easy to apply though, it blended out well and I was happy with the level of coverage one coat provided. I would quite happily wear this alone without extra concealer or powder if I was going for a natural skin look. The light shade was a good match for my NC20 skin - not too pink and not too orange, it was just right. It also suits my sister who is a shade or so lighter than me, so it is a flexible colour formula. What I was most interested in was its shine-controlling properties - 7 hrs after application there is a slight sheen to my t-zone but noticeably much less than usual, so I'd say it lives up to its claims.

Overall I thought this was a great budget-friendly buy for someone looking for an everyday BB.

I was a bit sceptical using this as I have tried a few different BB creams before and was disappointed but this one really surprised me! I could notice the difference straight away. The formula is not too light but not to heavy and blended into my skin very easy. The only negative thing about this product was that it did seem to flow out of the tube quite quickly, meaning you could end up with more product then you needed.

This is my very first BB cream. I tended to stay clear of them because of their sheer coverage. I need more of a medium to full coverage, and most BB creams just weren't that. When I heard about this, and looked up the reviews saying it was more coverage than most BB creams I jumped at the opportunity to give it a try. It does have great coverage, but! I do have to mix a little foundation with it to get the desired coverage I prefer. That being said, I can wear it alone - and it does blur many of my imperfections and makes my skin look great. Blemishes still show through. The consistency is like coloured water. Literally. It runs out of the tube, and will run right off your hand if you even tilt it slightly. So be careful. But it blends quite well. I often use my hands to apply, and finish off with a damp beauty blender. I chose the darkest tone which was medium but was still too pale for my skin. More colour selection is definitely needed. As for keeping me shine free ... umm no! I even set it with a matte powder, and I get shiny after a few hours. Which I can live with I guess. Oily skin gals really look for that miracle product that will suddenly make their skin shine free, just not going to happen. Well, not for me anyways. No big deal, nothing an oil blotting paper can't fix. The packaging totally sucks. It needs a pump! The packing would do, if the stuff wasn't so watery.

I received this BB cream in the colour “Light”, I don't think this is an overly light colour, over the summer I am a MAC NW20, and this BB cream is really close to that colour. So it's a tiny bit too dark for me.

This has such a watery consistency, it bubbles out of the end when you open it.

Garnier claim that all you need to do is apply it like your regular moisturiser, for increased coverage and a matte finish, apply a second time. I applied it once and I got a light coverage with a definite shine. The second application was a much better coverage but in no way a matte finish. So that's matte finish out. Shine control, I started shiny!

“Reduces Pores” I'm sitting a metre away from the mirror and I can see them, which really sucks because I don't normally have an issue with my pores being overly visible.

“Corrects Blemishes” I don't have any blemishes at the moment to test that claim out, but it has covered my red patches on the second application, so I can see that it would cover blemishes.

My face feels quite dry underneath the BB cream. Also the BB cream feels very heavy on my face, and it is sticky to the touch.

This transfers onto other things way to easily for my liking, I took a phone call and I had BB cream all over my phone afterwards. If I touch my face I get BB cream all over my fingers. This doesn't feel like it “sets” at all, and needing a setting powder is not what I want to be doing when I wear BB cream, I want to be able to slap it on and go, if I need setting powder I might as well go the whole 9 yards and put my foundation on.

I don't hate this, I just don't think it does as it claims. This needs to be treated more as a foundation when applied, it most defiantly needs a finishing powder or spray.

It does give a nice coverage, but I'm not going to rush out and buy this because I just don't think this works for my skin. Every little lump and bump is highlighted.

I really wanted to love this but I just can't.

I wanted to try this for as long as possible but it is making my face itch so much, it needs to come off, and I will probably be gifting this to someone else to try.

Unfortunately I can't rave about this product! I was holding out hopes that I had finally found something that would control my oily/breakout prone skin, however this just did not do it for me. It applied very well, a very light texture, and although wasn't the coverage I was hoping for, it still gave a nice glow to my skin . I think that it did an alright job, however I will not be rushing out to buy this again due to the fact that I was having to powder my face all day!

WOW! this is awesome. I am a stay at home mum so I don't use make up often. But once I've applied this it looks like I have spent some time doing what I would usually do to go out for the night! It is super easy to apply and blends nicely around the hair line jaw area. It has lasted a whole day without fading, its fabulous! So even if I just whip out to the supermarket I still look like I have makeup on. My skin no longer looks oily once applied and the light shade is a perfect match. So great!

I purchased this a couple of months ago in light. I feel like this is more suited to people with normal/oily skin - not combination. I'm normally a NC30 and this was a bit too light for me, but ok for my winter skin. Unfortunately my combination skin has dry/sensitive spots so this product really accentuated my dry/peeling spots (I know this isn't really meant for dry skin but I didn't want to buy/use two different moisturisers). It did however, look nice on my normal/oily T-zone areas. The coverage was light but sufficient for everyday use. It's very runny so was a bit hard to control how much came out and I didn't notice any fragrance.

I wasn't overly impressed by this, the "cream" is too thin and is really only good for certain parts of my skin. I suspect it will be more compatible with my skin when summer comes around, but it will definitely be too light, so i'll probably need to use it with another product, or I'll just give it away.
