I bought this BB cream after hearing some good reviews about it. I got in the light/clair shade and it might as well be light orange because that's what the BB cream oxidises to. It is smooth when you apply it on but I find that there ends up far too shiny and sticky. I wouldn't recommend this for people with pale skin, neutral undertones or oily skin. It oxidises to an orangey colour throughout the day and ends up about two shades darker. Personally, I thought it was a flop but I can see how it would be a great product for people with the right yellow undertones.

this is a great bb cream. I am not a fan of full cover and find this is a good medium to light coverage. I did find that my dry areas did need to be moisturized before hand
REALLY didnt like this BB cream. It was greasy, left my skin feeling tacky, was difficult to apply and didn't leave a very nice coverage. Very underwhelmed and would not recommend!
I wanted to try this product as id never tried a BB cream before and id seen adverts on TV. Also it was on special at the supermarket, so easy for me to sneak in the trolley while my partner wasnt looking hehe
Firstly its a rather thick consistency. I didnt really like the smell. I found it too strong for my liking. It didnt blend as well as i thought it would. Its the same texture as my moisturizer so thought it would blend out the same. But it was pretty difficult in my opinion.
It didnt stick to my dry patches which was good. But that didnt make up for the rest of it unfortunately. I tried it by itself, with powder and primer and also as a base for my foundation. Every way i tried just did not work!
It went very oily and made my foundation slip all over the place. Even after setting it it made my makeup wear off much quicker than normal.
The color was also very off to me. I felt like an oompa loompa!! It was so orange and oxidized very quickly. I ended up looking terrible. I was actually embarrassed to be in public with an oxidized/orange face :(
i will not be using this product ever again. I may gift it to someone who self tans lol.
I have been using this daily since I bought it, it does the job but in my opinion you need to already have quite nice skin for it to do a good job. So on a good day it evens out my skin tone nicely. On most days I don't like to have full foundation so this is a nice daily alternative with a lighter coverage. The smell is quite strong but not too unpleasant and I find that I really need to wash my hands thoroughly after applying as its quite greasy.
I do like the colour however I am a light olive skin so would say its quite dark and not sure it would work with anything lighter. The consistency is quite thick but I liked that about it as it worked well for me.
I use this and then set it with a bit of powder and bronzer, if you have a few blemishes I would recommend something with a bit more coverage, I will continue to use this but will most likely try another brand to see if I can find something that suits better
This was the first BB cream I used because it was the most advertised at the time. I found that it left my face feeling greasy and coated, it actually felt like I was wearing so much of it when I wasn't. I never considered myself to have oily skin but I tried the other Garnier BB Cream (oil-free) and was much happier with that. Didn't leave my face feeling greasy and was a more even coverage. Am still trying others out to find the one for me
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal is amazing! this product is very light on my face but also covers my imperfections when i use my beauty sponge, this product is perfect as a base under a loose powder. I highly recommend using this product.
Tips: If you have very pale skin do not use this as it is quite a dark colour even thought they say it is for 'light' skin tones.
Previously I had heard a lot of great feedback concerning this product and was really excited to use it. Though I found that it made my face feel greasy and it had a thick texture which made me feel like I had caked my face when I had only applied a little. It smelled like sunscreen which wasn't too bad and it did cover up what needed to be covered but I don't think I'd use it again.
As I have quite a few pigmentation marks on my face, I thought that I'd give this BB Cream a try and see what it did for my uneven complexion.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much as being an all-in-one I knew it would give a very light coverage. The BB Cream did even out my skin tone a little and disguised most of the pigmentation marks (it did not hide them completely, like foundation would, but it did even them out enough for me not to worry about looking "patchy"), it also covered the odd blemish too, leaving me with a much more radiant looking complexion and a barely there, "not wearing make-up" look, which is great for those days when I don't really want to be wearing full-on make-up (like going to the beach, etc.), but still want to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin.
One thing that I didn't like about this product is that it seems to make my face a little itchy for the first hour after I've applied it. The itchiness isn't bad, rather just irritating and does settle down.
Tips: If you don't normally wear foundation or 'don't have the time' to apply a separate sunscreen, moisturizer and foundation every morning, then this all-in-one is quick and easy. You may need to experiment a little to find the correct amount to use for your skin type, as I found that any excess product made my skin look rather shiny (a light dusting of powder does fix this), but after a few days of trial and error, I found that a pea-sized amount was ample for my face and neck.
In my opinion this is the best BB cream ive tried yet. I wanted some thing light for work and this is amazing. It covers everything but it feels like your not wearing anything. Goes on smoothly. I dont think i will be changing products unless they come out with something even better :)
