Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I have been using this one for over a month now, I had purchased it myself then was lucky to get into the trial as well :) The texture is smooth and not too thick, allowing for excellent coverage but lighter then a foundation. I use foundation everyday at work but on casual Fridays and the weekends this is my go to. It's quick and easy and blends in easily. The tone match my skin, even with my slightly rosy cheeks. It smells fresh and lasts all day. I've tried other BB creams and have always come back to garnier, because the coverage and tone and perfect for me. The size of the tube is worth the price and a little does go a long way. I don't put any other cream on, just this one when I'm using it. There has also been a few night when I haven't removed it and my face looks great the next morning (naughty).

I have normal skin, rarely ever have a problem with blemishes or skin tone that I need to correct so naturally I tried the normal product - I found it to be quite a watery consistency that spread out easily but did not offer too much in the way of coverage. I tried a few ways of applying but found I had more more control and the best result when I just used my fingers. It has a pleasant smell - Rose I believe - which is nicer than the typical sort of make up smell but not one I like. I found this product made my face feel really oily and heavy - worse than my normal foundation and made my skin look really shiny and like I hadn't washed it for a day or two. I don't really believe that the product does what it says it does but maybe I need to try the oily one to see if it gives me a better overall feel.

I wouldn't recommend this one to anybody - personally I feel like the Maybelline one suits me better so if anything I would recommend that one.

I received this product in the Beauty Review trial and I was so excited to try it because I needed a new BB Cream in my life. I got in in Normal Medium, which was much too dark for me although I have a medium, tanned skin. I mixed it with light foundation and the colour was a bit better. After a week’s use my skin got very oily, so maybe next time I will try an oil-free. The lasting power is good for an average day and it is light on your skin, so your skin can still breathe. It doesn’t oxidise much, but allow ten to thirty minutes to see if it’s the right shade. I am fairly happy with this product, but I think I’ll try a couple of other brands before returning to this one.

In my opinion this BB cream is very average. I may be slightly bias because i prefer a much higher coverage product, but I feel that this does nothing to improve the look of my skin - in fact it tends to add an unneeded shine to my skin.

The consistency is quite oily and the light colour is actually quite dark on my skin type. It spreads on relatively thin with a foundation brush and would take a lot of building up to get some sort of coverage. I find that even with a really good primer, it doesn't stay on the skin for very long. It seems to rub off within a few hours.

I only really wear this to the gym as I don't need any coverage there. :/

On the positive side - it is reasonably priced and the packaging is fairly nice. It does tend to last a long time, but is just not the product for me!!

Hmm... pretty disappointed with this BB cream as it's too dark for me. I'm far from porcelain, I tend to get the second lightest shade in foundations that have a broad range. My HG BB cream is Maybelline's Dream Pure BB and Medium is perfect match for me. The Garnier BB in light is darker than the Maybelline medium!! I found the scent very cloying, however I only noticed it for about ten minutes after application. This is very light coverage but imparted a nice dewy finish and lasted for about 4 hours on my normal - dry skin. It was nice to have the SPF 15. I never trust claims of "24hr" ANYTHING let alone hydration, so I used a moisturizer underneath. However the product didn't obviously collect on dry patches over time.

I found this product easy to apply with my fingers which is great as I don't have much time in the mornings. It has quite a nice smell. It blended in easily and looked quite natural. The first time I used it I felt like I needed a bit of bronzer over the top to give me some colour but the second time I used a little less and that worked well.

This has been my go-to BB cream for a while now and I just love everything about it. I think the packaging is sleek and a good size - great for storage and travel. It has a very strong smell and I can imagine that would put some people off, but for me I actually enjoy the smell, it reminds me of cleanliness. The product itself is quite runny and I feel it does take a while for the product to soak into the skin. Initially it does feel a bit greasy, but after rubbing it in a bit, waiting a couple of minutes and covering with a pressed powder it leaves my skin feeling silky and smooth. I use the shade light, and depending on the time of year I do need to boost it with pressed powder and bronzer as it is quite light. Coverage is very light, but I find it enough to wear on a daily basis. As far as the things it says it does, I do think it helps to even out my skin tone and does give a really healthy glow. With regards to 'correcting blemishes' it does reduce redness, but concealer is needed to cover up as it is a very sheer finish. I also love that is has SPF 15!

Nothing I didn't like. Was great as base or as a no make up option. The colour was a great match, couldn't tell I was wearing it. But it evened out my skin tone. Goes on nicely and felt great on. Will buy in future and recommend to others .

I really liked the coverage this Garnier BB cream gave me as I have some noticeable wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. I used this BB cream over the top of my moisturiser (as I need as much hydration as I can get these days ;-). It is easy to apply, not too runny and I didn't notice any obvious smell. I used my fingers to rub this in and it did appear a little too shiny for my liking so I used a light coverage of powder over the top. One application is a good amount of coverage for an average day but not enough for a special occasion. I didn't try putting on two applications but I'll try that to see if it would be enough coverage for going out. It did even out my complexion and gave me a healthy glow as it states on the packaging. It also says it can correct signs of fatigue but some mornings I don't think anything can hide those bags ;-) Being a light coverage is a positive as if it's too thick it can make those wrinkles stand out even more. My skin still felt good after a full day of wearing it - it felt hydrated and not too dry or oily. The packaging states that it contains SPF15 in bright yellow so it's easy to see at first glance. This is really useful as it does influence my choice of product as I need as much UV protection as I can get. Overall the packaging is quite appealing and informative. I am really pleased with this product. It's perfect for someone like me (with young children) as I don't have a huge amount of time for getting myself ready in the morning. It's nice and light so gives enough coverage to look like you've made an effort (without highlighting those wrinkles) but not too heavy for hanging out at kids activities :-)

It did exactly what it said it was going to do! The only thing that I found is that it was to light as a everyday foundation for me. So unmixed it with my normal foundation. It still most definitely gave me that all day, radiant glow as is states it will on the box. Very happy with the result of this product.
