Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

Straight off I could see my skin was more even and natural, the redness of my skin was hidden and my blemishes were less visible. The product is very liquidity so it goes on my skin smoothly and I love the fact that it feels light weight, my skin can actually breathe. It’s also SPF15 - a definite must these days.

My Tzone gets super oily (eeeewww) so I still used a powder to finish and still had to apply powder during the day to keep the shine at bay.

I recommend the Garnier BB cream for a natural look during the day. It won’t be replacing my normal beauty routine but I’ll defiantly be keeping in my cabinet for times when I'm in a rush and popping out to the supermarket or something.

Started by opening the tube and getting the product absolutely everywhere - turns out it is a lot thinner than the other Garnier BB Creams, more of the consistency of nail polish or thin foundation than moisturiser or concealer. Once on, however, the product spread well and gave great coverage, leaving my skin feeling smooth. It also didn't irritate my angular chellitis, which is a bonus as often new products do!

The product lasted quite well, too, only needing to touch up once or twice through the day.

I found this BB cream to be a little bit hit and miss.

When I first put it on I definitely noticed the difference in my skins appearance, and loved it. My skin is very fair, freckles and gets oily/shiny after a few hours of washing. I was a bit surprised by how runny and thin the cream was so I did waste a lot on the first go, it also looks a bit shiny to begin with but did matte out a little after a few minutes.

I put a powder on top and by the end of the day my skin still looked fine, no noticeable makeup wear & tear. My workplace is very humid so it was good at controlling the oil and shine.

I would use this quite often as my back up BB, but it was slightly too orange for me so I had to be careful how much I applied (I use fingers) and then ensure my powder covered it all and was blended perfectly. My dark hair helped, if I was blonde it would've been way too orange.

It had no noticeable smell which was great, and it didn't feel like a layer on your face. I would recommend this BB cream to my friends, just perhaps not the really fair skinned ones.

First of all, I asked for medium and I received medium, which was fantastic (thanks BR!), but it was totally NOT my colour! It made me look quite orange, because of this I don't know how long the product lasts (I took it off!). Even so, the product did most of what it said it would.

My skin type is usually quite oily and shiny and this product seemed to soak up any excess oils nicely. I have a lot of freckles, and you could still see them when the BB was applied, so this is definitely a sheer BB. The fragrance however was too strong for me. It made my eyes water a little bit and it just didn't smell nice. The box (very pretty might I add) also stated that pores would appear smaller. This didn't really work for me, but I think that if I used it more often it might! I would purchase this product again, but definitely not in medium shade! I would recommend to a friend too.

My skin type is combination to oily and sometimes it's a little dry, I chose the medium shade to test out on my NC25 skin tone, and it appears to be a bit dark for me.

The BB cream is quite watery when I squeeze out of the tube, I like to use a primer before I apply the BB cream. During the application, it applies smoothly, I use a beauty blender to dab the products in.

The BB cream doesn't smell like anything, other than those normal moisturiser smells. It gives a sheer coverage but for some reason, my face feels heavy every time after I apply the BB cream and most of the times it appears to be very cakey and powdery with dry patches here and there.

This BB cream does reduces oil from my face and it would last up to 4 hours for me, then it starts to melt on my face, especially my nose area.

I like the packaging, the BB cream comes in a tall beige 40ml slim tube. I probably wouldn't purchase this myself as I really dislike the idea of having the BB cream melt into my nose area. After application it does gives me that glowy skin effect but after a few hours it starts to appear oily and I would have to touch up regularly.

On the packaging it states this product is suitable for the 40 - 50 age group, I see why it's not working as good as it should be on me. I have only tried it out for a week so I can't comment if it improves my skin or not, it says to allow 4 weeks for testing.

This BB cream claims to reduce oily, pore is minimized, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improve. It does not reduce oil for me, instead it makes my face feels very heavy, shows dry patches on my face, made me look cakey and a disco ball face after 4 hours wear. It does minimise pores, but I'm not sure if that's my primer or the BB cream? I used Benefit Porefessional for the primer and this BB cream does cover some of my imperfection and cover redness very well, when the BB cream starts to smelt in my face, pimples here and there reappears.

Overall, the BB cream isn't as miracle as what it claims to be, but for those who enjoys a sheer coverage and don't mind the touch ups during the day, this would be a nice product to try.

I was so excited to receive this, so thank you BR for this opportunity, first off I like to note that the packaging is nice and sleek and sturdy so you can stand it on its end so the product is at easy access when you need it. The formula is slightly on the runny side so not really a cream at all but that doesn't bother me because it's super blendable, super buildable and gives a super healthy dewy look then dries out to a slightly matte finish. The thing I like most about this is it is really light weight and felt like natural skin and dried out well so it wasn't tacky to the touch BUT! The thing I was the least impressed with was the colour! I was incredibly disappointed and it was neither mine or BRs fault but I am usually a medium in most shades but this was so so dark, I'd almost have to get a dark tan to match up with it, and from most reviews on here even the light was too dark, which makes me think that maybe the light may have been better suited to my skin tone, Garnier need to review their shades as I feel like I'm not the only one with this issue

I found the product easy to apply using my fingers, this was my first time using a bb cream and this was quite runny. The colour was abit too orange for me, especially if you use more than one application. It was not able to cover my dark circles but this was not surprising as I need to use concealer but they worked well together. Would use again in conjuction with powder to tone down the orange. It feels light on your skin and has good staying power. You do not need to use much and it sets on your face nicely. I had no issues with oily skin while using this product. I feel the price is good value.

The product is a thin, runny consistency. It is easy to blend and has a relatively matte finish. The colour is good as it isn't a thick product so it just perfects your natural skin tones. It is medium coverage as i find it reduces redness but not fully covers spots. It doesn't last all day about 8 hours I find and that is after setting it with a powder. I don't find my skin getting to oily over the day so perfect for oily skin.

I reviewed this BB cream in the combination to oily skin type.It comes packaged in a box and the tube is a tall, sleek design which looks nice. The consistency of the product is much runnier than other BB creams that I have used. As soon as I removed the lid the product came flowing out so I had to be careful when opening it.The product goes on to the skin really easily. I applied with either my fingers or a sponge and I found that the sponge gave a more even finish. The product blended nicely and gave a nice light coverage and evened out my skin tone. It didn't have enough coverage to hide blemishes so it would be good for people with clear skin that want a little coverage or for 'no makeup look' days. The cream dried to a nice subtle matte finish which worked well on my oily skin but did start to wear off after a few hours. I tried this in the shade light however it was still to dark for me. Unfortunately this is the lightest shade so I won't be able to use it until maybe summer time. My skin also felt a little itchy when using this BB cream so I felt like I couldn't wear it for too long. It has a very slight alcohol smell to it but that was only when I sniffed the tube quite strongly, otherwise I didn't notice a smell. I wouldn't use this product myself as I like quite full coverage but it would be suitable for people who don't like to wear full coverage foundation.

So I got this to test out and it's alright I guess! Let's just get started okay Skin type; I have sensitive combination skin and this bb cream didn't affect my skin at all nor did it clog my pores so it passes that Consistency; it's super light and my skin feels like it can actually breathe not even kidding Fragrance; to me it kind of smells like fly spray and that's a little worrying am I right ladies!! Coverage; it has a very good coverage! Considering I have acne scars and it completely covers them. The finish is a sheer dewy type of finish not my personal fav Longevity; it stays all day but it kind of goes a little ashy towards days end Price; not sure how much it costs couldn't be bothered looking it up! Packaging; super shit!! I saw no results what's so ever haha I recommend if you're wanting to get away from the harsh chemicals in your every day foundation x
