My best Foundation

I have been using this product for quite a few years, before it became popular. It is by far the best light / natural foundation I have ever used. It covers my flaws without going overboard. I use every single day & my face feels likeI have no makeup on at all. When our family has had special occasions, I have been able to use on several skin types & a variety of ages & the ladies have looked flawlessly beautiful without looking over the top. Totally recommend

Replacement for foundation

Garnier's miracle skin perfector BB cream is my holy grail. Due to its tint i replaced my foundation with this product as i prefer a more natural and light coverage for everyday use. If you like a dewy glow and the feeling of a natural coverage then i highly reccomend this product. I found aplication of this product very simple, it blends into my skin very well despite the light being a bit too dark for my skin. The only bad thing i have to say is ive had more pimples pop up since using it but that could just be because of my oily skin type over my T-zone.

Tips: For better coverage under the eye, i reccomend evening out the colour of dark circles with a light coat of a peach coloured lipstick for light skin and red lipstick for darker completions. Alpply the cream on top and blend well.

Use powder to set the cream in place and make sure you wipe it off with makeup remover at the end of the day before cleansing your skin to prevent breakouts.

Perfect for 'no makeup' makeup

This is such a lovely and light BB cream. This had been on sale so I thought why the hell not? I had tried this in medium during the summer when my face was probably half a shade darker and medium had been too dark for me but light had been to light. Now that my face has gotten paler, light is perfect. It's not very opaque which helps the color match me better. On the other hand, although this can cover some very minor blemishes and cancel out a little of the redness it's not full coverage. When my acne gets really bad and goes all red and bumpy I still have to wear concealer. So I prefer to use this when my face is pretty cooperative and I want to look light and natural. When I'm wearing this it feels very 'breathable' and not overbearing. Another plus is my sensitive skin seems to have accepted this without throwing a fuss.

This was the first BB cream I used and I have found it really nice and very natural and the more I use it the better I find it.

Colour isn't very light but otherwise it's decent

The colour isn't light enough to match my skintone, I have to blend really well to prevent it from looking too orange. This defeats the point of BB creams- ease. If your skin is very light you might want to avoid this product.

Still, it's easier to apply than foundation. It feels better on my skin than foundation. The coverage is decent for a BB cream.

I won't repurchase because I would prefer a lighter colour and there isn't one, but if your skin isn't very light this is a decent product and I would recommend trying it.

I had the exact same problem with it! ended up giving it away to someone with darker skin! although I found it was quite patchy on my white white skin even with intensive blending :( not so good for us people lacking in colour!

Sad but true

I just reviewed another version of this and it was very similar sadly. There are garnier versions I love but the latest 2 I have tried have been a disappointment.

I am mixing this with a sunscreen to get a nice consistency that is light and wearable. The consistently is otherwise their usual quite thick formula but it really causes my skin to break out so I mix to get a lighter cream for my skin.

It’s heavy and thick and the colour is a bit dark for me so it doesn’t blend well, the mixing with my sunscreen helps this. As with another formula of theirs I’ve used it causes this cakey appearance on my skin.. which can then rub off like skin peel it’s very odd. It doesn’t really absorb and cover it sits and covers like icing so isn’t a natural blended look.

Longevity on the skin isn’t great either it’s short lived not dewy or fresh. And definitely dries after time.

Even when I’ve mixed it I’m not 100% happy but its better that’s for sure.

Tips: Mix with sunscreen to lighten formula and use up

Garnier BB Cream (Medium)

Is an awesome product and glad I bought it. For someone who doesn't like to wear a lot of makeup this was perfect!! Not heavy and gives a natural look which I love!! It's quite thick but I found it easy to apply. Easy to apply and easy to remove. It's a "Skin Perfector" not a foundation. It does what it says it will do. Perfects redness and blemishes with a light natural looking coverage. I have semi oily to dry skin and found I had to moisturise before applying this product. If you have similar type skin then I'd suggest you try Garnier "Sensitive" BB cream. The smell wasn't over powering and didn't linger. The product has instructions on the box which is helpful to first time uses. I found this product stayed on all day! It didn't block my pores and doesn't have that heavy feeling on your face. Light and easy!! Recommend you to try it!!

Tips: Moisturize before applying!

Game changer

I first tried this as soon as it came out. I am not a foundation wearer and probably never will be. Discovering this BB cream has been awesome for me. I love the natural coverage of it. My skin looks and feels clear and fresh, without that cakey cloggy feeling that I get with foundation. I just apply it after my moisturizer with my fingers - easy peasy.

BB Cream for Normal Skn

Found it great, made my skin look great, make my skin feel nice and silky, not heavy like other creams, applied a light dusting of powder over the top. Will look at changing to this but maybe next time go with the darker shade.

Tips: I applied the product when I went out at night and in photos it made me look very pale, a friend said it could have been the SPF in the product. so would be nice if they also had one without SPF for at night. But would highly recommend to people who do not use foundation and just want a light foundation

Impressed

I found that the consistency of the BB cream was thicker the most other BB creams that I have used, however it did not provide a significant amount of coverage with just one layer. I used it in my normal make-up routine with moisturiser and primer underneath. This made it go on quite smoothly and give an even thin coverage. I then used powder over top to give slightly more coverage. It is something that I would use on a daily basis instead of foundation as it is much lighter on my skin. Overall I am quite impressed with the quality of the product, it works better than other BB creams that I have used previously.

Tips: If you want a better coverage use two layers of the cream, and powder over top.
