Get gorgeous glowy skin!

While I'm not a massive fan of BB Creams, I was really excited to try this one from Garnier as I have heard really good things about it. Garnier claims that this BB Cream will even out skin tone, reduce blemishes, and hydrate your skin all while leaving you with a gorgeous glow. It's described as the 'ultimate daily all-in-one solution for instantly flawless, healthy glowing skin" - and this sounded like a product I needed in my life!

I like the packaging that Garnier have come up with; the tube is a beige colour with silver writing, and it looks pretty sitting in the bathroom. It has a sturdy flip top lid which closes well, so you don't need to fret about it leaking all though your bag. The tube comes in box which tells you a little more about the product and what it claims to do.

The BB Cream itself is an average consistency, and I found I didn't need too much to cover my face. I always apply BB Creams with my fingers as I find this is the best way to 'press' the product in to the skin. I tried the shade "Light", and it is still just a little too dark for me (pale girl problems!) I am about an NW15 in the winter, and I think this would suit a NW20 or 25 much better, as it comes off a little orange-y on me. Hopefully come summer, it should be the perfect shade for me!

The BB Cream is very easy to blend into the skin, and it does give an instant glow. I found it did help to even out my skintone and minimised any redness in my cheeks. It's absolutely hopeless at covering blemishes however, and I still needed to use a concealer to cover a couple that I had. I think if you suffered from a lot of acne this probably wouldn't be the product for you, or you would likely need to use a foundation over it.

I have tried this out both under foundation and by itself, and I have to say I prefer using it by itself. It can look a little heavy under foundation and I found it felt quite heavy on my skin. When worn by itself I just set with a little pressed powder, and I found that it kept my skin looking even and glowing all day.

Overall I really like how it looks on my skin. I love the glowy look and like the fact that it is lighter than foundation. I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't cover blemishes as well as I had hoped.

Tips: This product may look a little shiny if you have oily skin, so set with a matte pressed powder to remove any shine!

Garnier BB Cream.

A perfect everyday bb cream if you don't want to feel like you have a cake on your face. The coverage is light, so it blends into your skin seamlessly but there's still enough coverage to not have to overload concealer on top. Don't miss dusting powder on top, however, otherwise you'll look like a greaseball for the rest of the day. Overall, a decent product all around.

Normal BB Cream

I have tried the anti aging BB cream in this range as well but I consider myself to have normal skin also I was excited to try this one out to see the difference. I found this BB creams coverage was pretty similar to the anti ageing one but the finish was a bit dewier. It felt really lovely on my skin. Seemed to last throughout the day. The packaging in my opinion is very dull and boring but the product as an every day coverage product it did the job. As I don't wear full makeup it worked for me.

Tips: Recommend this if you don't like to wear a lot of makeup.

BB cream with a long lasting effect!

I recently tested the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter daily all in one BB cream. Having already tried out the product in the past I knew a bit about it already. I have normal to dry skin so the moisturizing particles made my skin feel hydrated and smooth throughout the day which I was very pleased about. It is definitely sheer to medium coverage as i felt like it didn't really cover up my blemishes. I personally perfer medium to high coverage for my skin when i go out as i like to cover up my freckles and give myself a flawless appearance. If i were to use this BB cream again i would also put some type of foundation on top also. As i applied it I noticed it gave me a healthy glow and stayed well on my skin for around 8 hours, after that i could see it slightly oxidiseing around the bottom of my nose where i often get dry skin. Overall i feel if you are someone who likes low to medium coverage and lots of moisture this would be an excellent product for you!

Tips: Adding foundation on top of the BB cream layer if you require more than sheer coverage!

Decent coverage

My skin type is normal and sometimes gets a bit dry. There are a few areas that need a bit of extra coverage. The consistency was nice and thick and didn't separate like another BB cream did that I have used. Application was easy and I just used my fingers to smooth it on. It had quite a strong fragrance, which I don't really like and thought it made it seem cheaper but I found the fragrance went away once it was applied. The coverage was pretty good for a BB cream. I don't think it corrected blemishes like it claims. When I used it on it's own it didn't last for the whole day. I think for what it is and how well it works it's pretty inexpensive and based on price I would be inclined to use it again. The packaging was ok but could be cleaner looking with less words on the box and they could get rid of the box altogether. The bottle was good for just getting the amount you need. I don't think it completely does was it claims in terms of the blemish correction but it was moisturising and did make my skin tone more even. I would recommend this to a friend if they were looking for an inexpensive BB cream that works just as well as some of the more expensive ones.

Tips: For better coverage and a longer lasting look then use a light powder to finish. I used Revlon Photo Ready powder.

Good for on the go one stop light coverage

I tried this product when I was traveling as I wanted a quick one stop coverage product for the morning. I found it to be really easy to apply, blended well and gave light coverage. I was wearing it to start off with in a cold climate and found it to be a little greasy. I have only used it a few times since returning from the trip as I prefer powders and the warmer climate combined with my skin type makes me look really shiny. It's pretty good at correcting stuff ups when applying eye makeup, due to the viscosity of the product it's easily applied as a spot fix and then powdered over - beats using expensive concealer

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter BB Cream - Normal

I found it mostly did as it states on the box, Hiding end of the week fatigue fairly well, wouldn't handle the "hell yeah I had a great time last night" fatigue. Gave the skin a nice even look although I found it a bit on the heavy side more like a foundation but then my skin has always been finicky with foundation. I found it worked well for me when mixed with a moisturiser gave me a smooth even look with no dry flakey patches between the eyebrows. Enjoyed the fact that this product doesn't seem to have any added perfume.

Tips: Use a moisturiser first or mix it in with moisturiser .

Not for me....

I usually wear alot of foundation, as I have freckles and I hate them. But I attemped to use the BB Cream for when I wasnt coming into work. The shade was a little dark for me, but thats no fault of the product. I found it does exactly what It says it does. It does give good coverage, for those who are wanting colour/moisture and have quite good skin. It didnt cover as well for me, but thats my particular taste. I had a friend who uses BB Cream, to tell me her thoughts, and she thought it was great. And that the quality is as good as what she had been using. So from that, I recommend it.

Tips: Make sure you check the shade that fits you perfectly first.

Garnier BB cream normal

This product is fine for what it says it will do. It is easy to apply, and once on my skin looked more even-toned but without the cakey look you find with some foundations. It was not too thick when applied and suited my skin tone. I'd like to see the product come in SPF options also.

Tips: If you do find that it is a little thicker than you would like, mix it with a small amount of moisturiser. It will not only apply easier, the bottle will go further!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector all natural :)

I tried this product both with and without a concealer to determine whether it is better suited either way. I found that it is very easy to apply and is an extremely light feeling foundation, which is great. For my day to day activities I found the foundation to last most of the day only slightly coming off at the end of the day which was brilliant. The only negative I would have for this product would be that unless you have no major blemishes then you will definitely need to use a concealer under it for better coverage, as this foundation doesn’t seem to cover them. As this BB cream states, it corrects blemishes; I would have to disagree with that as it does cover any slight redness however not much else. I found blemishes to be very visible without the use of concealer under this BB cream. Other than that it was a good product and I would happily use it again.  

Tips: I felt this product was ok on its own; however a lot better with a concealer and would recommend to others to use a concealer.
