Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

Well, where do I start. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector. Well, It certainly lives up to it's name!! Goes on soooo smooth, extremely smooth. Seem to give me coverage for the time that I needed it. As for all day coverage, maybe a touch up or two along the way, if it's a long day. It is miracle stuff though, don't get me wrong. Using this put me back into my early 30's. I got so many compliments when I had it on. I was attending a course, with girls 25 years my junior. They couldn't believe I was 48 years old. They all had guessed early to mid 30's. What a head swell :) It evened out all my red spots, and also covered the scar I have on my throat, which I have been concious of since 1988, when it happened. One stroke of this over my scar, and it was completely gone. Amazing!! I love how a little goes a long way, thumbs up for the full size sample.It's very lightweight. The medium was perfect for my skin tone. I have made the unfortunate mistake in the past and bought BB creams before, and chose the wrong shade. I only got a week to trial it, but in that week, I noticed good results. It evened out my skin tone, and my pores look much better. I think it's just fabulous stuff. Makes your skin feel silky and soft, and with aging skin like mine. Any boost is a good boost. Suited me down to the ground. I am so happy and amazed, that I am going to buy some for my mum's belated mum's day present. Thanks Garnier and BR. love love love love love it!!

I was absolutely thrilled to be one of the testers for the Garnier BB Cream in Oily Combination skin as I had used the Garnier BB Cream for Normal skin in light for probably about 5 years and I absolutely loved it however as soon as I hit 30 my skin changed to more combination skin so I had to change up my BB cream to meet the needs of my skin.

The first thing I noticed with this product is that the tube is long and thin and quite different to the others in the range, the dispensing tip was different too, it was a pointed nozzle rather than the standard flat nozzle. I found I preferred the pointed nozzle as it allowed more control over how much product used. The consistency is a lot runnier than the standard Garnier BB cream which made me a little hesitant as I thought the coverage would be not as great, however I was pleasantly surprised, I found the coverage to be a little better than the BB cream for normal skin.

Application, I used both my fingers and a flat top kabuki brush, I definitely preferred using my fingers as I found I could work the product into my skin a little better and I liked the finish. I did find that when I applied without a primer the product tended to sit into creases/fine lines a little but was easily resolved with a little primer and tapping the product into these areas rather than just rubbing over.

Colour wise I used the shade light and I would liken it to the Lioele triple the solution colour but perhaps a tiny bit darker, it was perfect for my skin tone when I used a little bronzer around my cheek bone area.

Results, the biggest thing I noticed here was that I didn’t have to use a setting powder after application, it is definitely a matte finish and I found I could get a good 5-6 hours wear without looking oily. The product is easily applied and the formulation covered my redness and evened out my skin tone. I didn’t find it too drying but was thrilled that the oil free formulation worked well with my combination skin.

This is definitely the BB cream for me and I am so glad I have found it!

With any of these 'miracle' products I'm always a little sceptical. I had heard mixed reactions to this product so was really excited to try it for myself! I normally use a Mac or Clinique foundation, with Mac Concealer and a light bronzer for blending and colour. I have not used Concealer or Foundation since starting this trial! I am officialy in love with this BB cream! I normally have a 3pm oily glow on my face and need to touch up foundation, this BB cream eliminated that, my skin looks even and healthy, AND to top it off it's made getting ready SOOOOO much faster! I seriously cannot rave enough about this product! the only downside for me (and this is a tiny downside) is that its quite runny so if I rush I end up pouring too much out. I will definitely continue to purchase this and reccomend to all my friends!

This product gives the fresher look for longer. It keeps the skin dry and also gives an even tone to the skin. Just a little bit on your face gives that amazing fresh look.

This is very light and thin so it is easy to spread on your face. Awesome product. You need to be a bit careful in opening the tube as the liquid is a bit runny .This is good value for money and lasts as well as you only need a little bit for once.

I used it to patch up the uneven tone of my skin and it worked very well and I strongly recommend this product. My skin is quite oily and this helped me look oil free for a longer time.

I have oily-combo skin thats also sensitive to many things and end up with reactions. I have been wearing this several times this week and its been amazing!

My skin is less oily and its so easy to apply, i applied once using a sponge and found i actually was easier to used a couple of fingers lol. I love how even it looks and the Matte finish is brilliant. I think I will be using this from now on. The price is pretty good when i looked while in town earlier today!

I loe this product! its my first time ever trying a BB cream and im now a convert, BB creamer for life! I have sensitive but oily with dry patchy skin, and despite my super sensitive skin i have not had any issues! woohoo!! I love how smooth and creamy the cream is and it really is as easy as putting on moisturiser! I always use my rosehip oil as a base which ensures my skin is nice and somft and it works really well with the BB over the top, i love how with just one application i get a lovely light coverage that minimises the look of my pores, freckles and spots, and it has a nice mild scent to it. I find it last well through the day, however by the end of the day the dry patches look a bit flaky. I also found i cant just wash it off with water very well (thats all i usually use to wash my face) so have had to dig an old facewash! the packaging is lovely, box is nice and colourful with lots of information and the tube is a nice handy size very nicely designed. I found the light colour perfect for me! I will be buying this when i run out for sure, i have never been much of a makeup person as i find it too time consuming and foundation is a hassle but BB cream makes it so much easier and i now enjoy doing myself up more regularly which is really nice :)

So, generally I have really oily skin. Foundation almost always makes its way off my face within an hour or two of applying it, and afterwards I am left with a greasy mess of a face. That was before I used this BB cream. This BB cream was lovely and creamy - perhaps a little bit runny as I have to hold the tube upside down whilst applying it, or else it drips out of the tube. Its so simple to apply! It takes me two minutes to put it on in the morning, no brush or sponge needed, just my fingers, which works great for me! There was no noticeable scent to this BB cream, which I really enjoyed, there is nothing more off putting than having a scented foundation. I found this product had an extremely full coverage, it was not sheer at all, and it had a nice matte finish, no more shiny face for me! The other thing that I absolutely love is how long this product lasts. I have used maybe 1/8th of the tube, after applying it every day for a week, and it also lasts all day after one application. Using this BB cream has opened my eyes up to the world of BB creams. I had full coverage, but it was nice and light to apply and it didn't make my face any oiler. I am one happy camper.

Consistency - 4/5, it is a great consistency but I think it needs to be a little thicker Application - 5/5, super easy to apply! Coverage - 5/5, I didn't need to use a foundation at all! This did the job for me! Results - 5/5, really really happy with the results, this product did everything it promised... and more!

I was so impressed with this product. I've tried other BB creams and found them more like a tinted moisturiser, but this one had excellent coverage and pigment. I have worn it every day since I got it as think it'll be replaced when it runs out! I lived up to its "skin perfecting" promise - I popped a bit of my usual under eye Concealor on and this was enough for a perfectly made up look. And I was pleasantly surprised with the colour - I usually use L'Oreal true match foundation in golden sand which is a reasonably med-dark shade so wondered if a medium would cut it - but it was perfect. It's a runny consistency but don't let this fool you - it's got great coverage without having to use very much at all. It feels cool when applied as it dries off - seems to have alcohol in it perhaps? I have combination skin with oily tendencies and this was perfect - not a powdery finish but a long lasting wear that hadn't slid off at the end of a long day. Didn't dry my skin out either and I've had no breakouts since using it. Loved it - highly recommend!

I have been using this for a week now and I really like it. Its lightweight, doesn't feel like you are wearing a heavy foundation , a little goes a long way. Really good coverage. And at the end of the day my skin doesn't feel hideous like you do when using normal foundation like have in the past, usually cant wait to wash my face. With this I don't feel like this. Just feels like I'm wearing moistruiser. Definatly you get you money worth out this little tube

Wow! Finally a product that does what it says! I loved this product it felt light on my skin and gave me good coverage, it took away my redness and hid my blemishes beautifully. I did find though that the tube leaked a little bit but only when the lid was off. I even got complimented on how good my skin looks and my mum was so impressed that she went and bought her own!
