I'm not going to lie - after using MAC and Lioele's BB creams, I didn't think anything would ever come close - but, I had friends using Garnier and raving about it! When the opportunity to try it arose, I had to give it a shot. I'm sitting here, typing this review out a day late - BUT for good reason! My first impressions were beautiful packaging (a hygienic, ergonomic slimline tube with an awesome glossy finish) and quite a fresh scent. I fell in love with the first application. This BB gives lightweight, buildable coverage that lasted all day for me with only a small amount of powder on the T-zone. The reason I am a day late with this review is after that first day, I broke out into a dry patch on my chin - however after the process of elimination, this was due to a new cleanser I was trying out - NOT my new beloved BB! I will definitely be re-purchasing. This is a beautiful product, fuss-free to apply and definitely helped out my oil-slick of a T-zone. Would happily recommend!

Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review
***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. FIND THE NEW FORMULATION HER***
All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.
Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.
GARNIER'S new BB Cream, combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin.
The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.
GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.
It has a new active ingredient, Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.
Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish
GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

Reviews
Tips: - I used a light dusting of powder to set my T zone, purely because I prefer a more matte look in Winter. In Summer, i'll use this sans powder! - Moisturise beforehand - this feels like a beautifully active product!
I love this product. I have quite oily skin so this has been perfect for keeping my oil build up over the day under control. I use it after my moisturiser, and then dust some powder over my face and I'm done. I've been trying not to wear make up on the weekends so this is a really nice compromise and it takes the redness out of my face. It's a great price so you can afford to have a few for your car, handbag and gym bag.
Tips: Less is more. You really don't need to use much of this stuff.
I purchased Garnier BB light on a whim whilst shopping at Countdown supermarket. This was the 1st BB Cream I have bought so was super excited to get home and give it a try. On opening the cream I was suprised to see how nice the colour was and the consistency was very light. I suffer from dry, sensitive skin so I have to be very careful with what I can use. Using my fingertips, it was quick and easy to apply and it felt lovely on my skin. The results were amazing. My skin not only felt smooth and silky but it looked healthy and gave a natural finish. I would definitely buy this again.
Tips: You only need a small amount, don't over apply or it could feel heavy and because a lot is not needed, it would be a waste of product.
I love this product its nice and light on my skin , doesnt feel cakey and covers any spots without looking like your trying to hide anything . Just makes my skin look smoother and fresh
Tips: Best tip is you don't need much so only squeeze out a little so not to waste it
I have been using this BB for about a year. It covers my imperfections well and give me a natural healthy skin. It does have SPF which is good. My mother in law loves this BB cream too.
I use this as my everyday foundation with a bit of concealer and powder. It is so much better than the other garinier one which is just too liquid. This gives a great natural look and feels nice on the skin not drying or heavy. It is easy to blend too I just fingers, a stippling brush or a beauty blender depending on the amount of time I have. The price point is also amazing and it is often on special at the supermarket. I have combination skin and this is perfect.
Tips: Add some concealer and some powder to make it a great natural everyday foundation.
This is so easy to use, really good coverage even though it's a BB cream, it's a shame that there are not more shades as I have the medium and it is currently too dark for me. Though you could buy two and mix them to get the right colour.
Tips: Work fast and on one area at a time as it dries fast!
I really enjoyed this product. I have quite good skin and this evens out any small pigmentation issues I have. I have found the coverage better than most BB creams, and I wore it to work instead of my Revlon colourstay for several days and the only difference was that it faded a bit earlier and also did seem to oxidise a small amount.
BB creams are supposed to improve your skin. I don't think that is the case with this one as the coverage is so great for a BB cream, so I treat it just as a lighter coverage foundation and apply with a foundation brush. I really enjoy it and was surprised how similar to a foundation it was. I'll repurchase this, happily!
Tips: Don't wear moisturiser under this product, as it will slip and slide off your face. Application is best with a foundation brush to get a great finish.
I really like this BB Cream. I usually wear foundation most of time but I find this great in Summer when you don't feel like putting on a face full of makeup, putting on after i've showered at the gym or on weekends. I'm unsure of the long term effects as advertised as I don't use regularly enough to notice at the moment but it's a great alternative to foundation and gives my skin a bit of a glow & colour that it needs. Definitely recommended giving it a go.
Tips: I find it goes on a lot nicer & looks better if you apply with a foundation brush.
After trying endless BB creams I noticed that none could combat the oiliness of my T-Zone. Although I haven't noticed any improvements in my skin, It hasn't left me with any new break outs.
You can achieve so many looks with this product. From a light natural coverage, to building it up for a more fuller coverage. And at under $20 you can't do much complaining about this product!
Tips: This works even better with a primer. And be careful of the tube, the liquid formula can pour out of the little opening pretty fast!
