Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I really liked this product. I have tried other BB creams and didnt like them at all. it doesnt feel like wearing makeup at all and provides more coverage than a tinted moisturizer. it lasted well during the day but if going out for night time i would reapply it, a little goes a long way. i really liked it.

I like the slim packaging that it came in as it was nice and easy to slip into my makeup bag. It didnt really have to much of a smell to me which was nice as it was going all over my face. It was super easy to put on and sat well on my face but i thought i was a bit runny so you had to use more than i would expect. I was a nice matte finish which i love and it didnt make me look oily during the day. I have sensitive skin and this did not make me break out so i was super happy about that as almost all other BB Creams do make me break out. I gave a nice light coverage for light or no makeup days which i like to do once/ twice a week.

Having used the regular Garnier BB Cream in the past, I didn't know quite what to expect with this product. Upon first seeing it, I was very impressed at the size (40mL), which is larger than most of my foundations, though I did find that the colour I sampled (Light) is particularly yellow-toned. As a NW20 user, I would recommend this product to people with more olive skin, or perhaps for fellow fair-skinned beauties as a Summer product. I've used this product a variety of different ways, each with differing results:

* On its own: The product offers relatively impressive light-medium coverage for a drugstore product, and is easily buildable. Initially, too, the product appears extremely mattified on the skin, and feels very light. I wanted to test how the product faired without any extra help, and found that my skin showed signs of oil in the T-Zone after around four hours without any extra products. I also noticed it was quite easily transferred, especially in the more oily areas, so I would recommend at least a setting powder to prevent this, and to prolong the life of the product, if you've got particularly oily skin.

* As a make-up base: I found that the product worked nicely as a light foundation substitute. I don't need too much coverage on my cheeks or forehead, so I found that with concealer and my Smashbox Halo Powder over top, this product offered a nice, light foundation alternative, and lasted for the full day with sporadic touch-ups and re-powdering.

* With my foundation: My favourite way to use BB Creams is to mix them with my foundation, as I find that the combination makes my skin look even clearer and smoother. I found that this method worked well with the Garnier BB Cream, too, giving me some extra coverage and lasting as long as my makeup usually does (around eight hours with 1-2 touch-ups).

Compared to the regular Garnier BB Cream, I found that this product worked better with my oily skin, though I'm not so sure it achieves everything it claims on the box. I am also disappointed in the yellow-toned colour of the product, as it doesn't provide a perfect match for those with lighter or more pink-based skin tones. This product would provide a cheap alternative for a light summer foundation, provided it matches with your skin. While I will continue to use this product when I want an easy base for a supermarket trip (or the like), I'll probably be sticking to the other stand-out BB products I have found..

I used this product for five days in a row to get a good feel for it. I was happy with the way it went on although the colour was a bit too orange for my skin. This BB cream claims to have shine control & matte effect, reduces pores & imperfections, evens tone & boosts healthy glow, hydrates and has UV protection of SPF 15. I found that this BB cream did all of these things and lasted most of the day. I walk for about 15 minutes to get to my class and recently it has been windy and cold but this product lasted though out the day. I would repurchase this product again.

I found the texture of this product very smooth, and it glided on easily. It is a very runny consistency so spreads but I did probably use more than I normally would. However, it was very light and had minimal fragrance so it felt like I wasn't wearing any make up at all. I found after an hour or so of using it, it had stuck into my lines and pores making them stand out, and had stuck to the hair above my lip making me wish I waxed, which I have no problem with using other BB creams or foundations.

This BB has me stuck on the fence with not a lot to love about it. I've tried Garnier BB's before and found the colour is always wrong, and unfortunately I had that with this one too, after a year of not using this brand I thought they might have sorted this out. It was far too dark in colour to be a light, so will be sticking to my korean BB for now, and get this one back out in the summer once I some colour on my skin. The formula was very runny so I found that when you squeezed it out of the tube a lot came out and when that colour is wrong having too much product doesn't help. I did really like the thin tube it came in tho it was handy to store, not taking up much room. I did however like how the formula went on with my beauty blender sponge, it went on really smooth and looked really nice.

I was pleasantly surprised by this Garnier BB cream! I thought that it wouldn't provide very good coverage given that it is a BB cream, but it provided me with a very nice matte finish- just like it said it would. I don't think it reduced imperfections to the same extent as my Clinique foundation, but I expected that, and otherwise it was a very good product! I definitely noticed that it didn't make my skin oily, and I actually got a few comments (by people who didn't realise I was trialling the product) about how good my skin looked! The SPF 15 is a definite bonus, and although I have quite fair skin and the BB cream only comes in two shades, it matched my skintone perfectly. I will definitely continue to use this cream!

I used the BB Cream for one week, as a foundation I would say it is nice for everyday wear. On the first day I noticed that I did not put enough on for a good coverage as I have terrible skin. For a nice light day look it was great and I did feel that my skin was glowing but this was with a medium amount used.

On the first day that I used this product a few people at work asked if I was feeling ok as my skin looked very pale, I was feeling fine so I think with a little bit more coverage it would be better.

I like the coverage this gave me but unfortunately I didn't like the feel of it on my skin. I had a few spots at the time of testing and it didn't seem to help them. I think I needed the protection of a separate moisturiser before using the BB cream.

I revived my 3 days ago and i really enjoyed using it. The packaging is cute, easy to carry in my handbag for touch-ups. It also has a good price for the quality. This BB cream was super easy to apply with my fingers and flat top kabuki brush, it applied really good coverage and left a smooth almost flawless finish. The only thing i didn't enjoy about this BB cream is it made me break out. When i run out i will be repurchasing this product i really enjoy using it for a no makeup/makeup day and its so natural and light but still gives a good coverage.
