Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I haven't heard the best things about garnier bb creams, I remember when the first one came out they were a lot of very disappointed ladies, so I honestly didn't have very high hopes for this, but I was extremely surprised when u first used it. It smooths over my entire face like a primer and covers all my imperfections like a foundation, the coverage in my opinion would resemble that of my loreal true match but it feels like nothing, it doesn't leave my face feeling greasy and it lasts surprisingly well, I can put it on in the morning, run a few errands, play with my son all day at the park, come home have a nap and wak up with it still pretty much the same as it was when I put it on! I don't feel like I need to use a foundation over the top but it would be a good base if you wanted an extra boost of coverage to your normal foundation, and I barely feel like I need concealer. Very very happy with this product

The coverage is absolutely amazing and it blends out so well, I loved using this as a foundation rather than a BB cream. I'd recommend this to anyone who is wanting a light yet full coverage BB cream. The only downsides I had with this was the packaging as every time I would twist the lid off the product would squirt out on its own. And my skin broke out quite badly after a few uses. But overall it is great!

I have oily and sensitive skin and I frequently have to deal with acne and clogged pores. I also have open pores on my cheeks and the centre of my forehead, so when I saw this product I just knew I had to try it.

The bb cream is pretty watery, and it feels incredibly light on my skin. I must say that for such a watery and light bb cream, the pigmentation of this bb cream is incredible. A little goes a long way. I also love how the tube feels solid, and although it doesn't look like it, I think the tube actually holds a lot of product and will last me a long time.

So as I said, the pigmentation of the bb cream is superb, and it provides pretty decent coverage. I have quite a fair bit of blemish marks on the side of my cheek, and one layer of this managed to make them about 60-70% less noticeable. Only the major marks still show through. Since I usually wear this in the day, I haven't tried building up coverage, but I believe it can be easily be done by applying just one or two more layers.

On the downside, I find that the color may look a little orange toned on some people, and I have heard similar comments from friends as well. It came out looking pretty orange on my hand, but when it dried out it looked rather natural and didn't have that grey shade that most bb creams do.

Application of this is easy as it is runny and spreads easily. I find that i can quickly distribute it evenly without having to rub or tug at my skin too much. So when you're rushing in the morning, slapping this on doesn't take much time. The watery feel disappears after a while and the product becomes matte, but you still have sufficient time to spread it out on your face before it dries out.

Perhaps due to the recent change in weather, I think my skin is experiencing some dryness, and the dry skin shows through really obviously with this bb cream, so don't use this if you have dry skin. On the bright side, this has worked wonders in reducing the appearance of pores. I also tried this on half my face, and at the end of the day the side with this bb cream on was more matte than the other side with NOTHING on. So it definitely does what it claims - smaller pores, matte face, reduces imperfections... The only claim I strongly disagree with is that it is moisturizing (so I gave 4/5 stars)

In conclusion, this product has truly impressed me, and I can't wait to bring this back to hot and humid Asia to test out. The low price is definitely a plus point as well.

Alright so this is my first review on here so lets do this, I have oily combination skin to begin with and YES by far this has worked wonders for reducing the shine however it still didn't completely give me a matte finish i was hoping for, The coverage was actually not to bad for a bb cream, On one occasion i used the bb as a base for my own foundation and i did love the look and coverage i was able to achieve. I think i do need to go to the light for winter and use this medium shade for the winter as it was a tad bit dark for me, my only main concerns with this would be the way it seems to leak out of the tube every time i took lid off so it could get a tad bit messy. overall i would recommend this product to my friends and family especially for the price

I received this product to trial and it's going up against a tough contender - my one and only holy grail product, the Vital Orange BB Cream from Korean brand Skin79, which I started using using two years ago and haven't touched any other face product since... until now. I have always avoided "western" bb creams after hearing time and time again that they're just glorified tinted moisturisers trying to hop on the bb bandwagon.

The first thing I noticed about this product was the consistency - it's quite runny, which makes it hard to control the amount of product you want, and makes a mess of the lid. I didn't find this made application any more difficult, though.

The colour "Light" is about a shade too dark for me. It may hopefully be wearable for me in the summer if I manage to get some colour. The undertone doesn't appear to lean too orange nor too pink. It provides the perfect light coverage to even out your skin tone rather than cover it up, exactly what I expect from a bb cream.

I like to build up coverage in places where I need it rather than using a concealer. I did not find this product at all easy to build, an extra layer didn't do much to my visible veins and dark circles other than leave an obvious dark patch. Maybe I wouldn't see a problem if the shade actually matched me, but it does seem that if you want to build up coverage, you're going to need a lot.

I do always set my T zone area with a translucent powder, but the other areas of my face weren't left with that tacky, un-set feeling that I was expecting due to the runny consistency. All areas of my skin looked and felt nice and matte. The product stayed well throughout the day, and my skin did not get noticeably shiny.

The main difference I find between a good bb cream and a regular face product is the feeling after taking it off after a day of wear. Your skin feels GOOD after taking off a bb cream, like it's been doing something beneficial for your skin, not just providing coverage. I didn't get that feeling after wearing this product. I took it off and my skin felt like it needed to be thoroughly cleansed, toned and moisturised, pronto.

A nice light coverage product with a nice matte finish, but not quite a bb cream. Sorry, Garnier.

I have the shade medium and overall I really enjoy using the product. It has a very watery consistency which I actually love. It has great coverage yet a very light natural feel. I applied the bb cream after moisturizing and used my real techniques expert face brush with a touch of blush and mascara for an effortless natural look. It blended well and had a very soft matte finish that lasted all day without getting shiny which is great as my usual foundations tend to slip off my face after 7 hours yet mine lasted a good 9 hours at least! I did try using a setting powder over the top to see what it looked like but found it looked too cakey and doesn't really need it anyway. The only down side was that it was a bit orangey for my skin tone so had to blend my neck in with a bit of bronzer hence why I didn't give it a full 5 stars. I will however be purchasing the light shade to see if that may be a better fit for me.

I personally love BB creams but Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is by far the best one I have used. It does exactly it says it would do including covering blemishes and evened out my skin tone. I only had to apply a thin layer and my skin looked flawless. I would recommend this to everyone I know. It is affordable and works like a charm!

I was skeptical about this to start with a name like Miracle Skin Perfecter, thats a pretty big claim. I was pleasantly suprised! I love this product, it does exactly what it says it does. It feels light on the skin but gives you great coverage - I found no need to apply another layer and would happily leave the house wearing only this unlike other BB creams I've tried. It even sits well with foundation and powder over top for the whole day. This will definitely be a regular in my make up drawer

Wow this product is amazing. From the first time I put this on it was amazing. It instantly looked like I had just had a spray tan. It is so smooth and easy to apply. This has helped my skin feel tighter and has less imperfections. I also think it has helped get my naturally oily skin back to a normal range. My skin is feeling softer and smoother than it has for awhile. i use this under my mineral foundation and it just really helps give it a naturally flawless looking makeup for my day. I am really impressed by this product and will be swapping to this instead of buying my ridiculously expensive liquid foundation.

Firstly, my skin is mildly oily so I definitely dont want to use any products that will make it worse (and this was great!) the consistency is quite runny and at first feels quite oily however when it sets into your skin it looks dewy (wouldnt say it has a matte finish as described).

I applied it both with my fingers and with a brush - definitely preferred the finish with the brush but its wearable when applied with fingers alone. The coverage is really good for a BB cream, similar to a light-med coverage foundation, so it looks great alone for when you dont want to wear foundation, I also wore it with a bit of powder on top to extend the wear (lasts a few hours this way) and under my foundation as a base which gave my foundation a better finish and also made it last all day.

Didnt notice any smell, and the package was appealing and it retails for less than $20 so I'll definitely be buying it again.
