Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I've been trying this BB cream out for the past week and I have to say I am a big fan. The BB cream is a thin consistency and gives a natural, healthy glow to the face. It covers up red patches but still looks very natural. I like how the product is very sheer on the face and does not look at all cakey. Overall this is a great everyday BB cream for anyone who does not want to wear too much make up!

I have combination skin - and this BBcream just works really well for me. Although it has a watery consistency - it covers beautifully - unlike other BBcreams I've tried in the past. It goes on smoothly and gives a nice, matte finish that lasts me all day. Love the packaging - easy to use and great size to slip into your handbag. I can see a reduction in my pore size and really helps with oil control. Would recommend it to anyone!

Absolutely LOVE it. Perfect for everyday use, under or instead of make up. I've recently just been wearing the BB cream with a little bit of bronzer on my cheeks and nobody would know the difference. Lightweight formula, color match was perfect and the consistency is beautiful. The best part? There is heaps of product and its the perfect size to keep in your handbag!

I actually typed up and posted this review on Saturday, but it doesn't seem to have gone through, so I will try again, hopefully I can remember it all!

I was very keen to try this BB cream as I absolutely loath the original one, so when BR offered it up, I jumped at the chance.

The first thing I noticed about this BB cream is its consistency, it is very, very runny (similar to my Bourjois CC cream). You need to be careful when using it as it will leak all over your counter top. It has a pleasant fragrance, hard to describe it really, but not overpowering.

It promises to give a full matte coverage, but I would say it is a medium matte coverage. Still pretty good for a BB cream. I used x1 pea sized amount for medium coverage, and built it up to full coverage with x1 pea sized amounts if required. The consistency meant it was really easy to apply and it blended out nicely with no patches. I just apply it with my hands like I would my moisturiser.

It also claims to hide imperfections, which it did to to a certain extent, but I still needed a concealer for any stubborn spots, and for under my eyes. As far as its claim to "reduce pores" I think that is near on impossible, your pores are your pores you can't do much to change them, but the product does gloss over them temporarily while you're wearing it.

I did find that after using this for a week that I actually broke out, so will stop using it for a while and see if my face clears up. I also found that it stung my eyes right after I applied it, which is unusual for me, beauty products don't usually affect my eyes at all. It is a shame I've broken out as I wouid like to test it for the full 4 weeks to see if it lives up to its other claims of less oily skin and more radiance.

The product has pretty good staying power, which was increased by the use of a primer. It kept up its matte finish for most of the day, which is impressive as my face is usually a bit of an oil slick by 5pm!

All in all, this products is a pretty good BB cream, and for me it is miles ahead of the original Garnier BB cream. I would recommend it to my friends who might be looking for a cheap alternative to some high end brands, but I think there are also better products on the market in the same price bracket.

I love this BB cream, I have tried many different brands and I think I have finally found one I can stick with. I usually have slightly oily, sensitive skin and found this really good for my skin type. My usual oiliness was not even evident and it gave me a beautiful matte finish which lasted for a long time. Even though it reduced shininess I still think it gave a really natural looking glow - which was not oil at all!

I love how Garnier brought out two different shades as usually I struggle to find BB creams that are light enough for me and found this one really matched my skintone.

I thought the formula was really lightweight and felt like I was wearing nothing on my face which is something I find really important in BB creams as often I get a bit sick of wearing heavier foundations. I also found it great that it had an SPF because I tend to get freckles when out in the sun.

Lately I have had a bit of acne and found the BB really great because it wasn't too heavy and didn't sit on top of the pimples like usual foundations would.

Overall, would definitely recommend and even buy again myself.

I loved this. My skin is usually dry on my forehead, but I always have spots and oily parts on my chin, but the cream covered this up without looking caked on and heavy. It also lasted and still looked good at the end of my long days working in a busy cafe as well, which not much makeup survives, so I was really impressed. The cream is quite runny, it did come out of the tube very fast. But it was easy to apply and didn't require much fussing around with blending. It gave a nice matte finish, and evened out my many freckles. I will definately continue to use this product. I got so many compliments on my skin during this trial period!

I am a first time user of BB Cream, and so was completely new to how, when and why to use. The information on the pack was clear, and made some great claims so I was excited to try it. From the first time I used the cream, it did everything it said it would - my skintone looked more even and felt soft to touch. It helped control my oily T Zone. I used it both as a base to my foundation, and also by itself (which I never do!). The coverage and appearance of my skin after using it made me feel confident to go without a full foundation layer. I would recommend to everyone who wants their skin to look even and balanced.

I was so lucky to be sent this as a trial, I've been useing it everyday for the last week and it is truely amazing! It really is perfecting! I've used it in place of my normal foundation. It cuts my 'getting ready time' in half! It looks like I'm wearing a light foundation that evens out my skin tone and makes my skin look so radiant, glowy and healthy. The first time I wore it my husband commented how lovely my skin looked and asked what I'd done differently! He said it looked nicer and more natural than my every day foundation! It's even buildable and you can apply more for added coverage. The consistency is quite runny, but in a good way, as soon as it's rubbed into your skin it mattifies and sets so well. It took away any redness in my cheeks. It lasts all day and doesn't wear off or become patchy. It's fantastic for oily skin, my skin can tend to become quite shiny after a few hours but not with the Garnier oil free bb cream. I love it so much and I'll continue useing it. I will definitely be buying more when I run out.

I use a Mineral powder religiously so was a bit nervous about using this, also as my skin is so fair even the lightest option sometimes isn’t right.

I applied with a foundation brush, as it seemed quite thick. I liked the feel of it on my skin and the dewy look but the colour just wasn’t quite right for my complexion. It has a nice fragrance and it definitely gives a 'not wearing make-up but wearing something kind of look' which is good when you just want to wear the absolute minimum.

I personally think this product is more of a summer thing, as it would suit my colouring a bit better once I had some sun.

The packaging is nice, and is very reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to recommend this product but maybe not for all the lovely ladies with a porcelain complexion!

Firstly a confession ... I chose the Medium colour when I probably should have chosen Light. So the colour was a little bit wrong (orange) on me, but I persisted anyway. It went on easily, although it was a little more runny than I'd expected. It didn't really smell of anything, which was nice. It stayed well on my face during the day, and covered most blemishes and dark areas. I will definitely keep on using it, although I might buy the Light shade for the future.
