Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I would say I have a combination skin type where my cheeks can get dry but my chin and t zone area can get oily. When first squeezing out this bb cream it has a somewhat thick consistency, I applied it to my face with my hands and then blended it in with a brush. I did prime before applying the product and used concealer followed by powder. The coverage is definitely light and more sheer than other bb creams I have used before, I found I had to use more concealer than I normally would because of this. I have pale skin so I choose the colour light, when first applied the colour seemed to be ok but as the day went on it seemed to oxidise and appear more orange than at first. It does however feel good on the skin but for me does require a touch up with powder throughout the day. At the moment I can not continue to keep wearing this as the colour is definitely too dark however it may better suited in the summer time.

I have the normal BB Cream in the colour light – first off this isn't overly light, I would say it's suitable for a light tan because it is very orange.

The product itself is a very generous size compared to some other BB Creams.

When you squeeze this out of the tube it is very thick, because of this I found it very difficult to apply, it caked when I used my hands and when I tried to blend it with a brush it went very streaky. One layer wasn't enough for me, I felt it didn't even out anything, I still had the same redness. It was my skin just a little bit orange.

I feel like I look quite oily as soon as I apply it, this isn't usually and issue for me until I get towards the end of the day and my natural oils start showing through. I was really hoping once this set I wouldn't look as oily. When I touch my face, I feel my hand sticking to it a little bit, and if I pull my hand away slow enough I can hear my hand pealing away from my face, I hate my face feeling sticky so much.

This transfers really easy, onto my phone, my hands, my top. You wouldn't want to hug anyone while wearing this or they would end up with stained clothes.

I have so far tried two of Garniers BB cream and I can say they do work great UNDER a foundation for a flawless look. I apply after primer and use a small amount, then let dry before applying my foundation and I find no need for concealer. It doesn't cake, and looks great. This is the only use I have found for these BB creams, if I hadn't of found this use for them they would have been going in the bin.

I have one more to try but I'm not very hopeful anymore.

One of the better BB creams I've used! I didn't even wear foundation I thought my skin was looking great with just this as a base. Not too oily or fragrant it lasted well, applied well and a little went a long well. I think it's great value for money. I'd definitely recommend to a friend and I think I'll add it to my own shopping list too

I’ve been a long time user of BB Cream so I was keen for an opportunity to try something outside my usual brand of choice. RRP on this product $17.49 which is around same price I usually pay. Packaging is fairly plain and to be honest reminds me of fake tan packaging. I also compared to the Garnier Anti ageing BB Cream and have to say I much preferred the cream for Normal skin. The consistency was creamy compared to the anti ageing cream. This surprised me as I thought it may be the reverse. The colour was fine and I also got away with wearing it like a tinted moisturiser. I used around a small pea size dollop and applied with fingertips. I thought the coverage on this one was a little better too. Stayed on all day even after exercise. Again I didn’t notice any significant difference or improvement in my skin. I am not sure how long I would need to use this to see the result of the claim on the pack - “Miracle Skin Perfector” I do prefer my usual BB cream of choice but I thought this was ok.

I have been using this for the past 4 days (since i received it) it has quite a thick consistency but applies nice and smooth, it doesnt feel caked on when i use it and easily washes off at the end of the day. I found it good for everyday use as it gives you a slight coverage without looking like you have any make-up on at all. In saying that though i do have a lot of freckles which i do like to cover up, especially when i go out, even with an extra layer on it still didnt give me the coverage that i prefer, so would still rather use a foundation. Over all i found it to be really good for everyday wear, the medium shade suited my skin perfectly, and the packaging is nice and easy to take on the go. Another tick from me for Garnier!

This is an interesting product, I was excited as I have only ever tried one BB cream before by Bourjois and it was fantastic if a little too dark. But I was surprised at the difference between the Bourjois product and the Garnier BB cream.

The Garnier product does smell fantastic, if slightly too perfume-ey. I often have the pretense (false or otherwise) that perfumed products contain ingredients that may not be fantastic for my skin. But it wasn't unpleasant. I do think that the coverage is nice, but the solution I find is really thick in comparison with the Bourjois product. I am not sure what that means in terms of unnecessary products I am putting on my skin but I tend to steer clear of 'thick' solutions as they can lead to an oily consistency if you put on slightly too much. This was easily fixed by applying with a sponge but in my mind I want to use a BB cream if I am in a rush as it is a multiple use in one product and if it doesn't feel nice when applying a small amount with my fingers then I am not completely sold.

I used the medium colour and found it ideal for a semi pale to slightly tanned skin tone (would hate to think how pale the light version is)...Applying a little more ensures that you achieve a more tanned look if that's what you're going for. All in all, it does look nice - I am happy with the final result. But for the price I would probably revert back to using a decent moisturizer with a little bit of liquid foundation squirted in as long term this seems much more feasible and applied nicer - and will feel like a less heavy liquid.

I received the "normal skin" BB cream to try. The majority of my skin is normal, however I am quite dry in the corners of my nose, and my chin is prone to pimples so in certain areas "normal" doesn't really apply.

The BB cream is very think, but thins out when you put it on which I liked, however once on my skin it felt very greasy. This disappeared after a little bit. The first time I tried it I had moisturised before hand (forgetting I had the BB cream to use!) so the greasiness stuck around a bit. It is easy to apply - I just used my fingers to blend like I would my normal moisturiser. There is a slight smell to it which wasn't completely off putting but luckily you can't smell it once you've blended it in - otherwise I wouldn't want to smell that all day. I felt that this didn't give me much coverage like my normal foundation would, I still needed to use concealer and I most definately needed my powder - infact I think I used more powder than I usually do. The BB cream did seem to make my powder last longer, however I know finishing sprays can do that too so I would rather use one of those instead of more powder. I found the BB cream made my dry nose spots very oily - and my T-zone was oily all day. Maybe I need the oily skin one? The packaging is ok but I didn't see any improvement in "signs of fatigue, dullness, imperfections and blemishes" like it says on the pack (it even says immediately but I never thought that). Overall this isn't for me as it doesn't provide enough foundation-like coverage and it left my face feeling greasy.

After using this BB Cream for a week now I would highly recommend it, I found it so easy to use! I didn't even need to moisture before applying as it went on so smooth and evenly, I still had to use a concealer as it didn't cover all imperfections but it definatly does what it states and gave me healthy glowing skin, ill definitely continue to use and buy this fab product its the best BB cream i've tried and I love how it leaves your skin feeling as though your not wearing makeup!

This BB cream is good for the price bracket and performs very similar to another one I have used which is double the cost. It does what is says by providing a tint and improving skin tone, dark circles etc. I would call the coverage sheer to mid and I would not say it makes you flawless though, that may be going to far. This is a good product though kind of a tinted moisturiser with a bit extra. I would buy it again because of the price and would recommend it to a friend for the same reason. It is good for a busy Mum like me who often doesn't have time for full foundation. The consistency is thick but not too thick and easy to apply. I feel like the product lasted for most of the day.
