Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I purchased Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream while I was at the supermarket because it was on special and I was excited to try it but it wasn't good to me. I have a combo to oily skin and this BB cream makes me oily. I have a weird skin and some BB and foundation liquid just doesn't suit my skin type. I've read some good reviews about it that's why I also wanted to try it but it just didn't go well on my face. I love Garnier products but maybe this wasn't made for my weird skin type.

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.

I never knew what BB cream was. So when I won a make up prize and saw this product I was excited to try it. Now the cream comes out white and as you apply it, it starts to match your skin colour. There's no need for any foundation on top if this. And to say I like it, is an understatement.

I honestly love this product for day-to-day life, I have found it gives light coverage which is great when you dont want a full face of make up or in a hurry. Easy to apply just like putting on your moisturiser in the morning and evens out your skin tone. It is affordable so great to just have your make up bag.

I have purchased this a few times because it was on special for like $5. Definitely not a skin perfector. I don't like it, I broke out while using it and one particular color I chose was so orange it was like using a fake tan on my face and it smelt strongly of fake tan. It doesn't have any coverage. Won't buy this one again. There are much better BB creams out there that are just as affordable.

i won a tube of this on facebook. i rarely win anything so i was excited. i dont use foundation often i prefer to go without.

the tube is nice and decent size for the price. i feel like a little goes a long way. i liked that this didnt cake up on my skin but i didnt like the fact that it looked practically gone by the end of my shift.

it doesnt have a noticable smell. i dont have many things wrong with my face unless you count my wrinkles. but it was okay coverage. i thought it just sunk into my wrinkles and made them more prominent. it also made me a bit too shiny. i dont think i would repurchase.

Purchased this recently after having great success with the Garnier bb sensitive version. I don't have sensitive skin so thought why not give the normal formula a go. The light shade is not very light, but it worked for me luckily. If you're quite pale though I don't think this is for you. A little goes a long way, I find it easiest to apply with fingers and then go overtop with a damp beauty sponge for a streak free finish. Straight away I noticed this formula is much more 'dewy' than the sensitive version and doesn't dry down as nicely. I also found the coverage to be less than the sensitive version. Once I set it with powder it looked nice, but after a few hours it started 'melting'. Next time I may try a different primer and more powder but I feel this just wasn't for me, I definitely prefer the sensitive version to this.
