Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I have used other BB creams and had always wanted to try this as the price point is really good compared to the high end brands. I was really pleasantly surprised, it's as good if not better than the others. My skin glowed and looked evened out and also didn't make my fringe oily like some do. It's quite a runny consistency and way to spread and I used alone instead of moisturiser. I've even worn it instead of foundation auditioning this week.

I had previously tried the bb creams when they first came out and I was underwhelmed. I usually have normal/oily skin (on the T zone) and found previous bb creams did not have the kind of effect they advertised. I also found in no time I would have to apply powder as my skin would get too shiny. As a result I did not have high expectations for this product. But boy was I proven wrong after the very first use I was a convert. It is a liquid that spreads over the skin so easily and absorbs quickly leaving such a beautiful soft finish. The coverage was simply amazing, even better than any foundation I have tried. Was brilliant as it still looked very light and natural on the skin. I decided to not use moisturiser to really try out one of it's claims. And it was so good my skin looks amazing and not dry at all. One thing that amazed me is that I usually have to use pressed powder during the day to get rid of shine but when wearing this I seriously did not need to. And I must confess I wore it to bed one night and was shocked to wake up with skin that still looked amazing, not that I like to make a habit of that. With having two young boys and a 5 month old daughter anything that saves me time is a winner in my eyes. When using this I saved time by not using moisturiser, pressed powder and as it evened out skin tone so well I didn't need to use as much concealer. I'm sure you can tell I loved, loved this product and would definitely repurchase again and again. Don't even think I will use my foundation again, this stuff is that good! Would totally recommend to family, friends and friends on BR.

I have been using Garnier Miracle skin perfection for a week now and is totally awesome, the colour is perfect and covers very well. With the slightly runnier texture of BB Cream i tend to use a sponge to help apply to help with coverage as I also like to use it with my thin lizzy light and works out it is a perfect combination. I have only had to apply once daily with no touch ups during the day as it definitely a product that stays on. I didnt find it to have a strong fragrance smell to it which I really enjoyed. Would really recommend this product to anyone that wanted or needed a light easy full coverage foundation.

I tried this product as part of the invited trial. I find I have been wearing less makeup as I have aged as I see too many older women over applying it. However I have now tested this product for the last 8 days and I really like it. It goes on really smoothly, and covers small blemishes (a couple of tiny veins, a bit of redness in my cheeks) well, without looking cakey. However you do need to keep it clear of wrinkles! All it needed was a light dusting of powder. I found I didn't need to reapply it during the day, and it came off easily with cleanser at night. Possibly in the heat and humidity of summer it might need another application. I really liked its lightness.

I have combination skin and found the oil-free really great, gave me a matte finish and kept my face shine free all day. I didn't have many blemishes to cover up but I suspect this is a sheer BB cream, it did however even out my skin tone which is exactly what I need from any foundation. It has a slightly watery consistency so I found applying it with a makeup brush was quite good, I also set it with a light powder and some blush. It smells like face cream so it was pleasant. It doesn't last all day but I've never experienced any BB cream that does so I'm still pleased and I will most likely purchase this product once the sample runs out. It is definitely a really good option for an everyday look that is good for your skin so you're not clogging it up with thick foundations.

I have to admit that going into this trial I was sceptical about the value of BB creams for my skin. I'd tried another brand before and found it really lacking. But after using the Garnier Oil-Free BB cream, and following the helpful guidelines on BR, I'm a convert and finally understand why people rave about them.

First up, the cream is fairly loose and more 'liquidy' than I expected but so long as you're careful getting it out of the tube, you'll be fine. It spread really nicely onto my skin, but only after I'd moisturised and primed my face. I made the rookie mistake of using it on clean, dry, un-moisturised skin on my first go and it didn't spread evenly plus caused large dry patches on my cheeks.

But on a prepared face it spreads nicely and feels really light and 'non-cloggy'. On my first go I tried applying it to only one side of my face so I could really see the difference and although its quite a light coverage it was really noticeable which side of my face had the cream applied. It didn't cover all my small red marks and blemishes but sort of blurred them out. Instead of a heavy foundation effect, it was more of a smoothing and veiling effect, which I was actually pretty happy with.

For work, I apply a light covering of foundation over the top, only needing to use a small fraction of what I would normally use. I would even feel brave enough to use the BB cream on it's own on the weekend as it's perfect for that 'no makeup' feeling but still leaving your skin looking more even and bright. It also lasts really well all day, even on oily skin. I'm a convert!

I thought it was great, made my skin feel silky, applied a light dust of transparent power over the top, lasted all day. Felt light not heavy like other creams, when I buy some I will go with the darker shade , Great product .

This is my first time using a BB cream and I love it. I am now addicted. My skin can be very oily at times making most foundations look very shinny by the end of the day and this is not ideal. With this cream however, my skin stays shine free until I wash it off. It is a very light cream - more of a liquid consistency and makes my skin very soft. I apply two layers of it to use as a foundation. I find it sets much like a powder. It is very easy to apply and I just use my fingers to do so and definitely gives me full coverage and hides all my skins imperfections. It lasts a good 8 hours on my skin, I do need to reapply to my T Zone area after that but not much at all. Because it is a moisteriser and can be used as a foundation I find the price to be very affordable. Definitely worth the money. The packaging is also aesthetically pleasing and the perfect size to carry around in your handbag. I love the results I have got from using this cream and I will not be using anything else in future. I am addicted. It balances the oiliness in my skin and leaves in very soft and has a powder finish to it. Love it!

I reviewed the Combination to oily skin - medium. I usually have a very sensitive skin and cannot just use any products. Using this BB cream i didn't have that problem. I could wear it without any skin reaction.

I found the BB cream to be a bit watery. It wasn't really an issue, because it was still smooth and easy to apply. I normally just apply it with my finger and spread all over my face. I used the BB cream as a base and had to use my normal foundation as well. The two together actually makes my make-up look flawless. I have a different BB cream which i used before the BB cream and must say the Garnier BB applies much smoother and has better coverage.

The tube is very compact and fit in my make-up bag, along with my other make-up. It is definitely worth the money and does what it says. After two weeks of review, i would definitely continue, and buy this BB cream in the future as i believe it worth the buy.

I naturally have some light freckles and this keys them show through but evens out my skin tone without being too thick or gloopy. I had the original formulation and the oil free is a million times better for me. I blends super well and goes on creamy. I'd say it's a tiny bit chemical scented but it goes away within moments. It works incredibly well as a primer of sorts under foundation and on its own gives light coverage. Skims blemishes but didn't cover them very well. Adding a touch of concealer helped.
