Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I got this in the lightest color and it was way to dark. I would not recommend for paler skin tones as it it quite orange and doesn't go light enough. I think there are only a few shades. However coverage is pretty reasonable for a BB cream and feels light weight. Easy to apply, I used my fingers similar to how I moisture and this worked for me. The coverage appeared very even. It also lasted a similar time to my other BB creams about 4 to 6 hours. I have sensitive skin and this did not break me out. Other than the colourings the only other major downfall to this product was it's packaging. I found the tube would leak out of the top when lid was off without any pressure on the tube. This is not ideal as the lid fills with product.

The first BB Cream I ever tried was the original Garnier one, back in the days where they were one of the few brands to have one. I liked the way it evened my skin tone, however I found the finish to be very chalky looking, which wasn’t so desirable. But hey, a free trial of a slightly different version and I decided to give it a second chance. Lets see how it goes… Day 1 I know today is going to be a long day, with 3 hours of back to back meetings in the afternoon, so I’m wanting a full coverage, long lasting base, but I also want to get started on this trial. So I decide to use the BB Cream as a primer under my Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. The finish is fantastic. The BB Cream adds a luminescent, glowy finish, which I fall more in love with over the course of the day. Despite hot offices and meeting rooms, oil shine is kept to a minimum, which is fantastic. I’ve gotta say, I’m really impressed. Day 2 I’ve been home sick all day today so no makeup, but I’ve got to head out for a farewell dinner. Still not feeling the best, but makeup always makes me feel better. As I’ll only be out for a few hours, I opt to use the BB Cream in place of a foundation. I do find I need to use more concealer than usual, thought I guess that is to be expected. I’m slightly concerned my skin has an orange tint to it, but my boyfriend assures me that I’m definitely not an ompah loompah and no one says anything either, so perhaps not. Day 3 Back to using as a primer under my foundation, today I pair it with Rimmel’s Wake Me Up. That ompah loompah feeling I had yesterday, well it’s back. My product is in medium and I would definitely describe my skin as medium, but I’m really feeling that this product is just not right in the colouring. It’s very orange. I also notice my nose, chin and middle of my forehead is left foundationless by lunchtime. Very unimpressed today. Day 4 I use it alone as a BB cream again today and have decided it definitely doesn’t work for me. The product just casts far too orange on my skin. I had such high hopes on Day 1. Day 5 One last go today. I’m using the same method as day 1 to see if the great results I had then are consistent. For the most part they are. A good long lasting make up day is had, however after the other couple of days, I’m left wondering if this is just down to the fact that Estee Lauder Double Wear is a fantastic foundation. Conclusion Okay, so I’m left a bit inconclusive. How frustrating! The chalky look from last time I used this product is no longer there, so that’s a plus. And it worked well under foundation, though on it’s own I wasn’t so keen. I wonder if the colour would work better on my skin with a bit of a tan in summer. Overall I feel there are much better BB creams on the market, though perhaps not in this price point.

I felt this product was no better than any other BB creams I have used, which don't do a lot for me. It worked well enough under other liquid foundation, but I tried wearing it by itself and found, despite what the claims, it became shiny after a couple of hours and didn't have much staying power. I'm unimpressed, really. Will have to keep using it to see if the claims of long-terms effects are true. But based on it's performance so far I'm not hopeful.

Personally i didn't not enjoy this product, i found it to be very watery and the colour i got (medium) was waaaaay to dark! When buying BB creams i usually tend to go for the 'medium' coloured shade as my skin tone isn't too dark but not too fair, however I didn't like the consistency of this product & It had way to much orangey under tones to it. Im not sure if it was just the colour and consistency feel of the product which put me off, but it did blend quite nicely. Overall it defiantly isn't something i would go and purchase again, didn't really do the trick for me! :(

I bought this a while ago, and while at first it was really good, but over a short while i've noticed it hasn't been agreeing with my skin and, when I put it on my cheeks or forehead, even nose all day, it ALWAYS makes more breakouts. It has really good coverage, but the proice is more pimples. Also I'm not sure how good it is for you skin as I put it under my eyes as a concealer, it stung like mad. So I wouldn't really recommend. :-) x

I was nervous purchasing this as the last BB cream I brought didn't work well for me and this one did the same thing. It went all 'cakey' on my cheeks and nose. It was quite runny and gave me an orange look. I tried using brush, sponge and fingers but nothing made it better.

I love everything about BB Cream - the concept, the ease of use, how inexpensive it is. I normally use the anti-ageing one but a friend gave me this one to try. I was looking forward to see whether there was any difference but I was quite disappointed. It felt really thick and cakey, and didn't have a very even finish. I also found it sweated off a bit during the day and would run in any little lines. Having said that though, I don't have oily or combination skin, if anything I tend towards dry so while it didn't work for me, it wasn't the best cream for my skin anyway.

I used this product to help combat oily skin. It did what it said it would do as it reduced oil and shine in comparison to the standard Garnier BB cream. However I found it was very runny and messy to use, and then quite hard to spread and blend into my face. I would recommend to someone who has very oily skin, but I now use the normal skin BB cream and use other products to help combat oiliness.

This literally exploded out of the tube when I first opened it, and every other time. I just didn't like the coverage, I feel like it should have a bit more coverage if its going to claim it will perfect my skin. The texture was very watery which wasn't very enjoyable... didn't like it at all

For my minimal make up days I like to use BB creams . I like how their easy to find in most stores. My skin type in summer season is oily and dry in winter not sure why my skin does that.

Packaging is nothing special comes in a tube . I got the shade medium which I think is perfect for me . Consistency is creamy with a medium shade colouring . It blends out well with a beauty blender or brush. I get a good two to three hours and it begins to fade out.

Price wise I personally think it’s a bit high. I think it could be cheaper to buy like more in the $10 range would be a fair cost . I’m not sure if I would repurchase this or not .
