Light is not light enough

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.

Tips: Don't use it if you have fair skin - you will look like you have had three rounds of a spray tan. If you do apply it with your finger tips, be aware that anything you touch will become orange.

new to bb creams

This is the first time I have used a bb cream and at first it seemed really thick but once I put it on I was impressed with the coverage and the way in which it evened out my complextion. Would easily be able to use this on its own but I used it under my usual foundation and found it made the foundation last longer. Skin feels nice and soft to so great product

Tips: Use on its own or under usual foundation

Delivers on most promises

I ordered the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream in Medium and I have to say when it arrived I was a little worried; the colour when I squeezed it into my palm was VERY dark and quite ruddy looking, not at all like my usual foundations. I needn't have worried though, as I applied it to my skin the colour settled beautifully into my natural skin tone. It also had a pleasant smell and felt very hydrating. The product claims to even complexion, correct blemishes, provide 24 hour hydration and boost healthy glow. I found that it did deliver on evening out my complexion and it definitely gave me a healthy glow, but in these cold winter months it didn't provide enough hydration to last 24 hours, and it also didn't cover the spot I have on my chin even with the two applications suggested for better coverage. All in all I was very pleased with the way my skin looked after using the product but I would have liked slightly better coverage and I personally need more moisture than it provided for the period specified.

Tips: 2 applications definitely gave more optimal coverage as one application was barely visible and I definitely suggest using another moisturiser while the cold winter weather is drying skin out. I also think those who like me have a spot to cover will need a concealer with this product.

Garner Miracle Skin Cream

I just love using this product! As a mum, I don't always have time to put make up on, and I have been looking for simple products that are quick, effective and easy. I am so pleased that I was able to trial this cream. It doesn't make your face look like there's lots of make up on but it does give you a clean look, nice glow and it even smells nice. Easy to apply via hands and easy to wash off. I will defiantly use/ buy this product. And would be happy to spread the word to other women plus mums

Tips: Good to have a clean face and good lighting, just to make sure you have applied it on evenly. Other than that it is a great and easy product to use! Thank you!

Nice light coverage

Skin Type - My skin is generally pretty normal, however I find it breaks out if I don't moisturise well. This Garnier BB Cream allowed me to get a nice light coverage without breaking out, and my skin stayed moisturised all day. Consistency - The BB Cream is a creamy, thick texture and very nice to apply - as it is just done like a moisturiser - it smells amazing too! Application - I applied it with my fingers and also tried a brush. For me it was easier using my fingers :) Fragrance - It. Smells. Amazing. Doesn't last for ages, which is great. But it smells nice and fruity - making your face feel fresh. Coverage - I found it hard to get decent coverage, the bottle said you just add more coats if you want heavier coverage. This didn't work for me, however I found that the light coverage was perfect for the "no-makeup" kind of a day. Longevity - I found that the product lasted well, and I used a powder on top a few times to set it and make it just that little more matte looking. Price - I will decide whether to buy another tube when I use this one, depending on the long term outcome for my skin. If I don't break out with daily use then I figure it will be perfect :) Packaging - I like the packaging, as you can just squeeze out a little bit at a time, so it is not wasteful. I figure there should be larger ones for sale as this could run out quickly. Overall, I would definitely recommend to a friend who was looking for something with light coverage and full of moisture

Tips: I preferred to use it with a powder on top to give it a matte finish :)

BB Cream

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.

Tips: To help with the shine it leaves use a powder over top.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

The consistency of the product is rather thick but creamy, however when a applied the product spreads for a nice smooth coverage. It is surprisingly rather fragrant with a slight fruity aroma to it - which adds to the fresh feeling when worn. Price is pretty affordable as its a common drug-store brand which can be found pretty much everywhere which makes it easily accessible for anyone and everyone. Packaging is rather standard. I really dig the compact size and light weight of the bottle/tube and how easy it is to gain access of the product within (pretty similar to squeezing out toothpaste in a way) (the lid of the product also seems also secure). Overall I really liked this product for its nice, light glowing finish on the skin. Would defs use again!

Tips: I also tried it as a primer and loved it. As the coverage is not complete (but that's standard for a bb cream).

Also I preferred using a foundation brush to apply (I guess just from habbit)

BB cream

Recently Ive been hearing a lot of good things about BB creams. They sounded amazing and I instantly jumped online and started researching, reading reviews to find one to buy. I don't have a lot of spare cash, so I do research a lot before I lay down my hard earned cash. So obviously I was delighted to have the opportunity to review this BB cream.

Firstly, I have super super fair skin with no natural colour (blushed checks etc) so people always ask if I'm sick. I also have dark circles under the eyes (night shift worker), bit of a freakly red splotches and recently Ive had a few pimples too. YAY, so to sum up - I naturally look like death..

It only comes in 2 shades. Light and medium. So I ordered the light shade. The packaging looks nice. Its a squeeze tube with the nozzle at the bottom so there shouldn't be much product wastage once you get down to the end of the product.

I was shocked when i did squeeze the cream out as it looked so dark! (my skin is so white clinique is the only brand so far that has foundation white enough for me). The smell wasn't the best either. Consistency wise - it was nice, felt smooth and velvety.

Day 1: I washed my face as normal, dried, then applied the BB cream over half my face - I wanted to see if I could notice a difference in before and after. And I honestly could not see a difference at all, my skin felt moisturised. However, the colouring looked exactly the same. Pimples, dark eyes, red splotches all stayed the same. It goes on very thin - so id call it a tinted moisturiser maybe? But even then I didn't notice a colour difference. I left my face like this all day (I dont get out much) and I felt like at the end of the day my face did need more moisture.

Day 2: I did a full makeup look. Washed and moisturised first. 2 layers of BB cream. Concealer for eyes and pimples. Blush for cheeks. Eye makeup etc. I just couldn't grow to love this product. My skin colour didnt look even at all, it just looked like I had nothing on. Also, because I applied more of it I noticed that it did rub off onto clothing.

Long story short, this product wasn't for me.

Tips: I have read good things about this product from others and for the price - so cheap! It wouldn't hurt to give it a try. So I would recommend to others. I just need more coverage than this has to offer.

Great as a primer

I like this as a primer as i like full coverage, for around the house this is good on its own as it takes away the redness and makes me look more alive, although for full coverage as a primer this is amazing, smooth and seems to make imperfections invisible under foundation. I enjoy this product and would buy again. also the colour matching is great with my pale skin tone.!

The product was quite thick compared to other bb creams so i find its easier to control the amount of product that comes out of the tube.

And is easy to apply all over nice and evenly, it hasn't got much of a perfumed smell but it does slightly which in some casescan be a little off putting.

Tips: I apply with fingers dab a bit on imperfections first and then put it all over afterwards. !
