Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I have quite oily skin and most BB creams (and foundations) can leave me with a nice oil slick, especially on my forehead, however the Garnier Oil-Free BB cream was the first product to not leave me looking shiny! This BB cream goes on lightly, has a nice texture to it making it easy to apply, the long nozzle on the bottle also helps meaning you don't get a huge clump of product all at once. There was a simple fragrance that didn't overpower you. This product definitely gave me an even skin tone and hid pesky blemishes, it lasted reasonably well throughout the day, although not as long as standard foundation would obviously. I liked the fact that it also contained an SPF15. I would definitely continue to use this product and would recommend it to anyone who has an issue with oily complexion

This product is really runny. As soon as I squeeze some onto my finger it runs, so I have to quickly use it. I even have to store the bottle upright so I don't get a surge of product coming out when I next use it.

It is a thin consistency but it's rather pigmented, so it gives a bit of coverage. It dries rather quickly, so I suggest apply on one area at a time and work it in.

I have oily skin and this product leaves your face feeling rather oily. It does leave a bit of a shine finish. After applying it on I blotted my face with tissue and there is oily residue on it, after this I set it off with powder. I do get a bit oily during the day, I can feel it on my skin, so do blot during the day. However it is long lasting and doesn't run off by the end of the night.

The packaging is very appealing in its sleek tube form. It doesn't really have much of a fragrance except for its chemical smell.

This BB has a slightly watery consistency which spreads well on your skin and blends easily. I used my fingers and a flat topped brush to apply and preferred to use a brush for application to get a more even cover. I tried this a few different ways - on its own, with primer and with primer and a setting powder on top. Overall I preferred to use this BB cream combined with an ELF primer and the Natio translucent setting powder on top. I did find that even though this is meant to be for oily skin, it did get a bit patchy around my nose and chin area by early afternoon no matter which way I'd put it on in the morning. I don't think I'd repurchase this but I'll use it at home for my "non make up" days just to even my skin out a bit.

I have tried a number of BB creams as I am basically a bit lazy and love the idea of a product that will moisturize, even skin tone and act as a foundation all with one application. However, the one problem for me with some of them is that they are a little too oily and leave a bit of a shine, which I would prefer not to have. Hooray, this new improved Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream for Oily/Combination Skin answers all of this really well. I didn't have any trouble with shine.

I used the product for a full week and really the main problem for me was that I had chosen Light, and I now know I should have chosen Medium as the Light is just a bit too pale for me. However, this did allow me to see that my mid afternoon there really wasn't a lot of cover left. However, that's not bad, and you can always reapply if needed as the thin tube is easy to carry in your handbag.

I have no real need for the SPF protection as I don't go outside much when I am working (which is when I am using it), but I realize that for those to whom this is important, it is an added bonus.

The actual consistency of the product is quite runny, which makes for easy application, but I always seem to make a bit of mess around me when applying it - just requires some caution when opening etc.

All in all, I like this product, and will try it in the Medium shade next time - and there will be a next time as it seems to be good value for money.

My skin type is usually very combination/oily and before I tried this I was pretty concerned with the lasting power as I am yet to find a product that will last all day on my face.

One thing I was really intrigued by with this BB cream was it's consistency. With all the BB creams and foundations I had tried before they were quite thick but this one was very watery. But I really liked it, with this thin consistency it made it so easy to buff the product into your skin!

I loved this product because it was super easy to apply! If I was in a rush I could quickly chuck it on and blend out with my hands but I preferred to use a buffing brush which worked perfectly! I would recommend using a beauty blender with this one as it's quite thin so I found for me, that the product went into the sponge.

Coverage for this is really nice, it's quite light so you look like you still have skin but covers all you want it to cover (with a bit of extra concealer). However it is very buildable. I didn't notice any particular fragrance with this product.

For me, as I stated above, I can never keep anything on my face. I put primer on (benefit porefessional) and then put this product on and it lasts me most of the day which is a miracle!

The packaging is incredible. first of all its plastic, so no risk of breaking it and the style of the part where the product comes out means you can definitely get every last but of product out of the tube at the end! Also it's a nice size for travelling as it's nice and thin.

This product definitely left me with a healthy glow as it states, can't say it has reduced any imperfections for me though. Would definitely recommend this for those with oily skin! One thing I would have to put down on this product is their shade range. I'm not too pale and the light was almost too dark for me so just be careful when buying if you are super pale!

The product went on nice and smooth and I got good coverage.

In fact while wearing it at work with nothing else on my face except lippy I got rave reviews from one of the girls. She said it evened out my skin tone really well so I am super stoked with that!!

and yes I found it did help with my oily shiney skin which is a big plus.

I would definitely buy this product in the future!!

I was excited to try this BB cream as I have tried others in the past but they all left my face like an oil slick so this one sounded perfectly suited to my skin type.

I received this product in the light shade as I have fair skin but this product was still very orange on me.

It comes in a nice sleek tube with a nib that the products runs out. This product is quite runny so be careful.

The product applies nicely to the face, easy to blend out with a sponge and has a nice matte finish that covers some blemishes but still a natural looking finish. The product has a nice light fragrance that isn't overpowering. The 40ml tube is great value for money as you don't need a lot of product.

Overall I did like this product but it needs to be in a lighter shade for me so will be giving it to a friend to try.

I was told of the effects of this BB cream and was super excited to try it. When I did, I was super amazed as to how well it covered my blemishes and evened out my skin tone. And it still left my face looking fresh and natural as if I hadn't put anything on.

I was excited to try this product, as I have used BB creams in the past which felt very greasy on my skin. As someone with combination skin, a lot of BB creams tend to slide around and become quite patchy after only a few hours of wear. This one is not greasy at all! It absorbs oil and stays in one place which is fantastic. The packaging is really nice and sleek, and you get quite a lot of product in the bottle. The formula is quite liquidy, and I've found it most easy to apply with a foundation brush. I would say that the coverage probably isn't quite enough for me, and comes across a little too pink-toned. This BB cream might be better for someone with pink undertones to their skin, and people that don't need/want as much coverage. For those reasons I probably won't repurchase this product. However the non-greasiness is an absolute win!

A great BB cream that actually provides more than the bottle says it does! It goes on really smoothly and I actually used it in place of my foundation on the some days to test the coverage. I applied it both with my fingers on some days and a foundation sponge on others. It goes on easily, not too watery or creamy, but a perfect combo. I sometimes am prone to redness and this covers it perfectly and with a little powder over the top it looks as though I have foundation on. Normally my skin needs a powder top up during the day due to oil, but this product works well with my oily skin and less powder blotting was needed during the day, so it's great for oily skin. It stayed put all day doesn't tend to rub off once it's "pulled into" your skin. The tube and packaging is simple and eye catching and the small hole that you squeeze the cream out of means that you don't end up with more than you need. I used my normal moisturizer underneath and it still went on well over this. I would definitely recommend this to others and will switch to this one in the future myself!
