Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

While I'm not a massive fan of BB Creams, I was really excited to try this one from Garnier as I have heard really good things about it. Garnier claims that this BB Cream will even out skin tone, reduce blemishes, and hydrate your skin all while leaving you with a gorgeous glow. It's described as the 'ultimate daily all-in-one solution for instantly flawless, healthy glowing skin" - and this sounded like a product I needed in my life!

I like the packaging that Garnier have come up with; the tube is a beige colour with silver writing, and it looks pretty sitting in the bathroom. It has a sturdy flip top lid which closes well, so you don't need to fret about it leaking all though your bag. The tube comes in box which tells you a little more about the product and what it claims to do.

The BB Cream itself is an average consistency, and I found I didn't need too much to cover my face. I always apply BB Creams with my fingers as I find this is the best way to 'press' the product in to the skin. I tried the shade "Light", and it is still just a little too dark for me (pale girl problems!) I am about an NW15 in the winter, and I think this would suit a NW20 or 25 much better, as it comes off a little orange-y on me. Hopefully come summer, it should be the perfect shade for me!

The BB Cream is very easy to blend into the skin, and it does give an instant glow. I found it did help to even out my skintone and minimised any redness in my cheeks. It's absolutely hopeless at covering blemishes however, and I still needed to use a concealer to cover a couple that I had. I think if you suffered from a lot of acne this probably wouldn't be the product for you, or you would likely need to use a foundation over it.

I have tried this out both under foundation and by itself, and I have to say I prefer using it by itself. It can look a little heavy under foundation and I found it felt quite heavy on my skin. When worn by itself I just set with a little pressed powder, and I found that it kept my skin looking even and glowing all day.

Overall I really like how it looks on my skin. I love the glowy look and like the fact that it is lighter than foundation. I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't cover blemishes as well as I had hoped.

Firstly thank you BR for giving me the opportunity to take part in not one but two Garnier BB Cream trials. I love the handy little tube which is great for your hand bag. As with the Anti Age I requested the medium tone cream but also found it was too dark - so I blended it with a lighter shade of another BB cream which did infact lighten the colour. This too is a lovely light liquid but also failed to give me the coverage I needed. To recommend this product I would have to try the lighter shade also without blending it with another product. Im sure I would get a different result.

Garnier Miracle Perfector BB Cream is amazing ! I was blown away by the fact that it did exactly what it said it would and more. I thought it would be a thick foundation but it is so light and smooth and not heavy and clay like. I really like how beautiful i looked when using it and now use it daily. I used to dread putting on my makeup but with BB Cream im looking forward to putting my makeup on and going out :-) Its so easy and quick and nice to apply it makes you wish you'd found it years go lol

I have normal skin with freckles, and am always afraid I am going to look horrible wearing any sort of liquid foundation product. While the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream isn't a liquid foundation, it had a light consistency which was easy to apply. I used my fingers to apply the cream to my face and neck. I was very pleasantly surprised with the fragrance- it was light and very nice. The BB Cream provides a sheer and matte coverage, which looked really good on me and natural. On the box it says you can apply a second layer if you desire a fuller coverage. It lasted all day, however, when I went out at night, I reapplied. Compared with other BB creams, this one is definitely affordable and good quality. The packaging looks simple and attractive. Overall, I would really recommend this BB cream, especially if you are new to liquid foundations. It's good to start out with something light and affordable. This is perfect. I was really happy with how my face looked wearing this cream. I love how it has a SPF and I found it felt nice and light to wear and was an effective moisturiser.

I tried this a few times in various ways - using it alone, using it under foundation, using lots of it, using very little of it. The smell is great, but that was my favourite part of it. I found that it oxidised quite easily around my chin/neck and turned orange. I found it to be a bit dark for my skintone also and having sensitive skin - it made me break out. It is, however, a good BB cream in turns of building up on it for a good coverage and your skin looks quite bright after you apply it which is nice, no need for a strobe cream! I really wish it was a better colour for me, and my skin wasn't so sensitive. But I probably will not use again.

Never tried anything like this product before because I didn't think it would give me the coverage that I like but it did! I am ALWAYS spray tanned and it was easy to match the product to my tan, the product was long lasting and didn't make my face feel greasy, clogged or yuck like some other drug store products do. A+

First impression of the BB cream is not that great. I have fairly normal skin but found even though it seemed to be of a thick consistency it applied quite lightly. The colour of the medium is a little too orange for my skin colour but think the light would be too light. I applied the BB cream using my finger tips but did not try any other method as I had nothing available, it spread quite easily but found myself using quite a lot to get a full facial coverage. I also found it the BB cream did not last on my skin for too long due to the light coverage and it give me the flawless look like it said and two applications my my skin feel gluggy. The front of the packaging is fine, but there is a lot of writing over the rest of the packaging which I think could be contained in a leaflet inside. I would only recommend this product to people that do not wear make up very often and like a lighter coverage.

This product was easy to apply and had a pleasant fragrance that wasn't overpowering. It felt light on the skin yet gave an even coverage that lasted all day. I would definitely recommend this product
