Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

**My review may be swayed based on the fact that the colour I got was too dark for me.**

I did not like this product When I put it on it didn't go on very smoothly and I ended up with some streaking.

The smell was not very nice, quite "plant-y" for lack of a better word. I did not like the feeling of it when I put it on my skin.

However,

I liked the feeling of it once it had dried, it felt like I was wearing nothing and didn't look too heavy on my skin. IF it was the right colour I may have liked it more for that reason.

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.

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 cant say I was highly impressed with this item, I found it very greasy and my face end up sniney so you couldn't just use it on its own, I found I had to put my normal foundation over top. although it did smell nice and my skin does feel a lot softer.

I received the light shade my first thought of this product as I squeezed it out was it felt quite thick and clay-like. I was sick while trialling this and found that it was actually slightly too dark for me :( I did like the fact that it did help reduce redness, it did add a bit more colour and life to my skin from being sick but it didn't seem to do any kind of coverage for hiding my freckles (which personally I hate!) but for a light make up look it is fine, although I did feel like my "T zone" did get a bit oily from this product sadly hopefully once I am over my bug I can build it up and maybe get different results. Do like the packaging and how much control you have of how much product is dispensed.

The cream is quite thin in constitancy and it says it will smooth out skin, I found it did not do this. I also had quite a bad break out after using this cream.

I bought this BB cream in light, and I was excited. It was my first and I couldn't wait to put it on. Once I got home I squirted a small amount onto the back of my hand and went to work. The results were disastrous.

As I said, I bought the shade light. It was awful. I'd never looked so orange and I was almost scared of Willy Wonka popping around a corner to try and take me back to his factory. The consistency was very thick, and rather than sinking into my skin and loving me, it moved around and made me overly greasy. It was also very patchy and didn't stick to any dry patches, opting to make all the oily spots noticeable.

I wouldn't purchase this BB cream again, and certainly not at full price, but I'd buy the sister product, the oil free version.

I found this product to be quite disappointing. It didn't really live up to what it claimed to do and I also found the shade to be quite orange, even though it is the lightest.

The consistency of this is very thick and even though it's a bb cream and is supposed to feel very light on your face I felt it to be quite heavy, my skin is usually quite oily/ normal and I found this bb cream to bring out my oily side

It also seemed to only stay in a few patches and the other parts would rub off completely. The smell of it also lingers quite a while, I prefer foundations and bb creams to not have an odour.

Overall I was dissapointed in this bb cream, for some people they may love it but for me I was not impressed at all

I have been using Asian BB creams for years so when I noticed more and more Western BB creams popping up, I decided to try some out. This Garnier BB cream was the first one that I tried.

Usually warm-toned products work well on me but the tone on this was particularly orange and a little too dark. As well as that, I have normal, leaning towards dry, skin but this BB cream left my skin feeling really oily and greasy. Even as a BB cream. it felt really thick and left me feeling like I'd caked on foundation or likewise. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this one.
