Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

My skin is a combination of normal to dry. The area a round my nose, chin and forehead can get a little shiny but as I am 53 things are starting to dry out. The texture and application of the cream were good. Not too thick and easy to apply. I only tried to apply it with my fingers and it was very effective around the eye area. I loved the fragrance, very fresh but not too strong. The coverage is on the lighter side, not as thick as a foundation - I use a Bobbie Brown stick foundation. But it is thicker than a tinted moisturiser. The finish is in between dewy and matt. It lasted well and started to wear off around my nose area after 5 - 6 hours. The price is amazingly low and it was in Countdown on sale for $10 dollars last week. I have sampled a few BB creams and this is definitely the best one so far and at a substanially cheaper price. I dislike the Garnier packaging. Too many colours, fonts and generally too much going on. My eye is never drawn to the packaging and I have avoided buying any Garnier product. (I purchased a cleanser a number of years ago and found it very harsh and unfortunately that has also coloured my perception) The tube did make it easy to use the right amount. Results - I was very pleasantly surprised. Thank you for choosing me to trial this product as I wouldn't have bought this otherwise. As I stated earlier this is the best BB cream I have tried. I have tried a number of more expensive brands i.e. Estee Lauder, Clinque, Revlon etc. I was sceptical about the 24 hour hydrating claims and still wonder how it can be "24 hours" when I remove it at night but my skin does feel more plumped and the wrinkles seem less obvious. It does keep my face moisturised throughout the day. The instantly flawless claim is a little over the top. My skin tone was improved but I still prefer my Bobbie Brown foundation finish to this. I have tried it on it's own - would only do this on a day off. Over moisturiser and primer. On my skin first with a primer (Yves St Laurant) on the top, then a touch up with foundation with a light dusting of powder. The last would be my preferred combination. I will keep using the product and will recommend it my daughters and friends. I will also try some of the other Garnier products in the future.

I was excited to be on the trail team as this is my first bb cream. I have fairly normal skin with not so oily T-zone but suffer from odd breakout usually around my chin and nose. I chose the Medium shade which I found was a little dark and orange for me but still better than the Light shade which would be way too light. I found even though it seems to be of a thick consistency it spread quite easily. I used my finger tips to apply the cream to my face and neck. It was easy to blend into the skin and found it did help to even out my skintone. The fragrance is light and fresh which doesn't linger on. It has build-able light-medium coverage. I love how it has SPF 15 too.. I tried with primer underneath and found the color showed up as more orangey. I noticed when applied it looks shiny and greasy but once it's all dried it doesn't feel like it. It lasted all day for me and washes off really easily with warm water. Packaging is ok..doesn't stand out to me. The actual container is simple to use, however I found it got a bit messy around the opening of the tube.

Overall I think it is very good value for money and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light-medium coverage BB cream. My only gripe is the orange tint it leaves behind on my skin.

I wasn't to sure how I felt about this product, I had mixed feelings, it went on smooth felt light and smelt Devine!! The medium was a little to dark for me, the coverage very average good for a natural look or a stay at home day. I found it to be a nice base for my everday make-up routine as I like a bit more coverage.

The packaging was awesome and explained a lot about the product I loved how th packing showed the actual size of the product on the outside to, over all a good product but not quiet my style I would definetly recommend it for someone who likes a natural look or is trying to go for a natural look.

I have beed using this product for 1 week now and I love it! To start I was worried that I ordered the shade that is to dark for me, but blends very well. It is so easy to apply evens out the skin tone. I've had so many good comments about my skin for the past week! I highly recommend this product, and I will definitely continue to use this product!

A wonderful cream that will be replacing my garnier pure moisturizer and finishing powder. Only need the smallest amount for full coverage that will leave you glowing for the day. A real time saver as it does two plus things in one step and also saves money as a little goes a long way. Price and size of bottle is reasonable but I do believe that you would be able to get cheaper but I personally like Garnier so will be more possibly likely to continue use. Packaging in all right I have seen better and seen worse nothing really eye popping about it to grab your attention. I would recommend this to my closest friends as I don't want all knowing lol.

I have tried the anti aging BB cream in this range as well but I consider myself to have normal skin also I was excited to try this one out to see the difference. I found this BB creams coverage was pretty similar to the anti ageing one but the finish was a bit dewier. It felt really lovely on my skin. Seemed to last throughout the day. The packaging in my opinion is very dull and boring but the product as an every day coverage product it did the job. As I don't wear full makeup it worked for me.

I have normal skin with a few blemishes so I was really looking forward to this product that claims to fix so many things! The packaging is ok, - what I was expecting but I do think you get a large amount of product for your money. The smell is pleasant. I first thought the product was quite gluggy when I tested on my hand, however with the heat of my skin it melted out nicely as I applied and I only needed to use a little product to get complete coverage which is great. The colour looked quite orange on my hand at first but once rubbing in it seemed to match ok so I thought it may be ok for me. Now for the face test.... I applied after cleansing, toning and moisturising, like I would with any BB cream. Unfortunately the shade medium was much too dark for my skin, luckily its a Saturday night in for me and I don't mind looking like an oompa loompa at home for the evening :) I only had to use a small amount of product to get complete coverage compared to other BB creams I have used so I was very happy with that. It did even out my skin tone like it says it will but it didn't correct blemishes as well as other BB creams. As for the "healthy glow", I looked like I had just been for a run, too glowy for me! It made my skin look very oily. This may have been able to be toned down with a powder over the top but I like to be able to wear my BB cream alone at times. It lasted well for the few hours I had it on and I am glad it has SPF. Overall, I was underwhelmed, however I think some people may love the "glowy" finish and I can see others potentially really liking it.

This product was an easy product to trial as I was on the look out for something new to wear daily without having to wear a full face of makeup. It has great coverage and feels nice and light on my skin and you don't need to use a lot to get good coverage. I found it easy to apply with my fingers and it left my skin feeling nice, not greasy and not like I was wearing a foundation which can be quite heavy. The fragrance was neither here nor there for me not bad and not great. Once dried it has no smell at all. I did find that I had to reapply before heading out for a night but I was ok about this as it is a cream not a foundation. The packaging was simple yet appealing and easy to use. Just the way I like it. As for pricing I was telling a friend all about the product and she already uses it and told me it is often on special at the supermarket which is good news for me. In saying that I would also pay the full price and you can tell I have already recommended it to a friend.

Okay so my biggest issue with this product was the Shades! Every other bb cream I have had has been in the shade medium, but this medium made me look like a caked up oompa Lumpa! Needles to say it was difficult to get a decent trial out of it. The texture of the product is quite thick, almost a mousse which I quite like. The coverage is a medium, as my scars were showing through, but that is quite typical of a bb cream. I wasn't able to get a good test for how long the product lasts just because of the colour mismatch but I'd imagine it would last quite well over the day as long as you weren't getting too sweaty. It was quite a nice bb cream and even had a nice scent. But I think I will stick to my maybelline bb :)
