Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I purchased this BB cream from Farmers some time ago. I really wanted something nice and light that would give me a little coverage and sun protection. I found the smell of this product too strong, and the cream itself feels quite thick and gluggy when using my fingers to apply. Once it's on the skin, it feels a bit too heavy for what I think a BB cream should be, and I am conscious of it all day. I think my liquid foundation actually does a better job! It's unfortunate, I really wanted to like this product but it wasn't for me. I gave mine to my sister.

I completed surveys on a website and had earned enough points for a farmers $20 gift card so thought i would go and buy a bb cream and this is the one i chose. I had heard really good things about bb creams so i was really excited to try it! Turns out i was quite disappointed with the quality. It has the apple scent most garnier products have, which i actually didn't like being on my face. The bb cream itself was quite creamy and didn't have much coverage so a lot was needed on the face. Once it was on it left my skin feeling very greasy and oily which was a major negative for me as i already have very oily skin. This bb cream didn't really do what i was hoping it would. I'm really glad that i didn't spend my actual money on it. I am very dissappointed with the product and it turned me off trying any other bb creams :(

When purchasing this BB cream I had high hopes but I was greatly disappointed. I brought the light only to find it was too dark even though I don't have very light skin tone. Aside from the colour I found the product greasy and didn't 'perfect' my skin at all

I have fair skin, so I chose the light option. Sadly this option is far too orange for fair skin. I only applied a small amount to my skin and it has left me looking very orange. My skin certainly doesn't glow or look flawless as the packaging claims. It doesn't correct dullness or any blemishes on my skin - in fact, it only aids in making them more obvious because they are now an earthly orange. My skin feels sticky and has a texture like sunscreen, definitely not the "lightweight and comfortable texture" I was promised. Usually I would apply foundation with a brush, but it specifically said to apply like a moisturizer, which I do with my fingertips, and now i have a distasteful residue on my fingers which doesn't seem to wipe off. All in all, the makers need to design a product that is actually for light skin.

I've tried a few BB Creams over the last couple of years and unfortunately this one would have to be my least favourite. The cream itself comes out looking and feeling a nice thick consistency but once I started rubbing it in it seems very water based which I don't like in creams. Left my skin looking oily and shiny so I had to finish it off with some pressed powder. Coverage is very very sheer. If it wasn't for covering it with powder I'd barely notice I had a bb cream on. The smell is pleasant and packaging is fine. I would never pay for this and would not recommend it to anyone.

This was my first time with a BB creme and I must say I wasn't overly excited about it. It didn't give a matte finish nor good coverage. I did put a powder over top to get a matte finish and for better coverage. This is a product I would wear for a super natural no make up look. I would say it is more suited for young teenage girls that are just starting to wear make up as it is light blend perfectly without looking cakey.

Can't say it was quite the "Miracle Skin Perfector" it claims to be! I found it more of just a hyped up tinted moisturiser. I was hoping it would even out the redness on my cheeks or give me enough coverage to hide blemishes for a no make up day - but it didn't quite do anything except make my skin an odd colour. I am quite fair so got the light, but it didn't match me at all, or give me enough coverage to make it worthwhile wearing it. It has a nice light scent and seemed to be quite hydrating and lasted most of the day, but if I was to wear it again i'd still use my normal foundation routine on top - defeating the purpose of this product. I would never purchase it again.

Unfortunately to me this is not a BB cream, it is more like a tinted moisturiser and not even a good one at that. I was excited to see the products colour and consistanly when first squeezing the product onto my hand. The light shade matched me almost perfectly and the mouse like thick formula seemed promising... but when applying it thinned out and only changed the shade of my skin ever so slightly. There was no evening of skin tone or redness to be expected with any BB Creams I have tried before. Also I noticed after it being on my skin for several minutes the colour had oxidised and had quite an orange tone to my face. Sorry Garnier I will be sticking with my Lioele at this stage!
