MMM....not liking it

I'm a fair, normal skinned 45 year old. I found this product thick and greasy. I was having to put moisturizer on under it and powder on top to try make it easier to put on and tone down the 'orange' look. I gave it to my niece and daughter to try too and they felt much the same as me. I wouldn't recommend this or buy it. I could feel it on my face all day. Thanks for letting me try it....but not for me.

garnier bb

As a big bb and cc fan I have enjoyed testing this bb out. It is a very convienient tube, not too big yet not too small so fits nicely in my handbag. However a little goes a long way so you wont go through it too quickly. I found the coverage isnt as great as other bb creams on the market but its enough to hide redness and dark circles so is great for a natural look. One thing i have really loved about this bb is that it doesnt come off when sweating! Every single other bb i have tried 'melts' off when i sweat in the heat, ditto with foundations so it is really good to know that this will stay on when its hot or im exercising. This bb is the one ill be using in summer or if i just want the simple look with a bit of powder over top and lip gloss.

Tips: a little goes a long way. Go over with a blending brush to make it look very natural

Love, Hate Relationship!

I have a complete love hate relationship with this BB cream, I have been using a lot of different BB creams lately. I found the scent very over-powering. I loved the fact that unlike many other BB Creams it did not make my skin pale, I liked that it wasn't too runny. I will definitely use it every now and then as a base for my foundation. I feel it is a light coverage and would be good to use in the summer time instead of a heavy foundation. I have also noticed my foundation is staying on a lot longer now I have been using this BB cream as a primer. Thanks Garnier!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

The cream is fantastic, very light to wear, gave my skin an nice smooth overall finish without looking like I was wearing a tonne of makeup. Great to wear during the day or add a double coat to wear for a more coverage look at night. I would highly recommend this cream to all my friends and it's a product that I will continue to purchase.

Tips: I used this as my moisturizer and foundation and found that it did the job.

Light and Fresh

I love this BB Cream! It is perfect for me on a daily basis. It is quick and easy to apply with your fingers. The coverage is great, It feels light on the skin, smells fresh and also stays well on your face all day. It really does reduce redness! I am a definite fan!

Tips: Wait a couple of minutes to apply the BB cream after your regular mosituriser.

I also tried this product with a primer and found it works well if you are applying a heavier layer for more coverage.

Sticky...

I really expected to love this product but it was a real disappointment.

I thought the packaging was great, cute and compact. I also thought that it was a good size for the price.

The formula itself was a lot thicker than i expected. It seemed quite creamy and had no real fragrance which was good.

Applying it to my skin though, it was sticky and heavy. I didn't find it went on evenly and left me really sticky and shiny. I put my usual foundation and make-up over it and it did not look good. I think if i had used a power foundation it might have been better? I ended up with a dewy completion, which at times is great, but wasn't what i was looking for. I also found it made my foundation patchy and didn't last very long.

The next day i tried the product on its own. Again it was shiny and sticky, I have a 'normal' skin type (not oily or dry). I can see that they were wanting to give it a glowy look, but i think its gone a little far. I also found that there was little to no coverage and it didn't really balance my skin tone out the way i expected a BB cream would.

Tips: Use a powder based foundation over this product

Bb cream

First of all, I'd love to point out that I have been wanting to try a BB cream for a very long time!

What a beautiful product, it smelt fresh and was very moisturizing and glided onto my skin without being sticky. Also you don't have to use much of this product to acheive great results (always a bonus).

It gave an excellent coverage over my skin, lately I have been having issues with my skin so I feel a little self concious about it!

My mum commented on how amazing the product looked on my skin, and for her to say that... well the product must be amazing!!!!

Also the packaging is nice and simple, it points out what the product is and what it does without being to over the top and hey, I would still be very pulled towards it at the supermarket!

Being a student, I am on a budget and I think the price of this product is extremely reasonable as it will last a very long time.

Tips: Get the correct colour for your skin, I received the medium but I am definetly a light as when you put two layers on your skin the coverage goes quite dark

My new go-to

I've been using this product everyday for over a week and it has now become my favourite item in my make-up bag.

First thing I noticed was the consistency- very creamy so a little goes a long way. It also smells lovely, but the smell does go away quite quickly after application. The coverage is great, it provides just enough to make my skin seem flawless without the heavy caked-on look. I don't need to use a primer or concealer beforehand either which is a bonus! On my skin, it does last a while, but not as long as a regular foundation would. It's not really a problem though, as it's so light,I can top it up whenever necessary.

Overall,I would say it's perfect for a fresh-faced look and it's a great product to swipe on when you're in a rush, which I often am in the morning!

Tips: I pair with a foundation for long days or nights where I need coverage for more than a few hours.

Skin Perfector - sure is!

I love Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream!!! For me it is an essential in my beauty regime! I have used this before and feel Garnier may have changed the formula slightly. I used to find the scent overpowering, but this has toned down, and is a lovely mild smelling scent. It spreads easily, and leaves skin feeling and looking smooth, even and glowing! Too good to be true. It leaves skin looking great for the morning, but I wouldn't say it lasts all day, and doesn't provide coverage as a foundation would. Great product though!

Tips: Felt a slight sting on my face, so would avoid contact with eyes. Need to wash hands thoroughly afterwards.

The Best Affordable BB Cream You Can Own.

Skin Type: My skin type changes throughout the year from Normal in summer to Slightly dry in winter. I occasionally get the odd breakout but it's never an issue.

Consistency: The BB cream itself is a nice semi-thick cream, not watery or overly thick like some other brands out there. I also found the colour match to be perfect (I have light skin).

Application: I applied this differently over a few days, first with my fingers, then with a sponge and lastly with a foundation brush. I found that it went on best with my fingers, the brush left obvious brush marks on my skin that needed blending out with my fingers or my sponge. The sponge didn't seem to give as nice a finish either and I ended up just blending with my fingers anyway. It glided on nice and smoothly, it is easy to blend out to get the right finish that you are after. I just applied over top of my everyday foundation, I personally don't use primers with BB creams.

Fragrance: The fragrance is hard to describe, it is far from unpleasant, it is almost a cross between floral and something else. It is most noticeable for the first 30mins-1hour after application.

Coverage: I would say that this is a sheer coverage product, however, I have noticed that it is buildable. I found that it covered the slight redness on my cheeks very well and and sat nicely over the dry patch in between my brows, there was no dry/flaky skin to be seen.It has a nice semi-matte finish, it seems to depend on what lighting you're under. Certainly not powdery or oily.

Longevity: I wore this all day, while running errands, going out for a walk, and going to work. It really did last all day, I did not have to touch up at all during the day. It lasts as long as Garnier says it will.

Price: The price I found was reasonable. You don't need much of the product each application, I have a feeling that one tube will last me a few months, making it cost-effective. It is well worth paying a little bit extra for this over say, Maybelline Dream Pure BB, which I found to be quite runny and difficult to apply. The best thing is, is that you can get it from any supermarket, pharmacy or department store.

Packaging: The packaging is pleasing to eye and I feel rather understated for the awesome product it contains. It's simple, looks clean and clearly advertises the product.

Results: I feel the product did what it claimed to, it provided long lasting coverage with a natural 'no make-up' look. I feel it's the right product for me when I'm having a 'no make-up, make-up day'. I noticed that I did not have to touch up over the day nor did I notice any dry patches or oily patches.

Recommendation: I would definitely recommend this BB Cream to all my friends and family or anyone who is looking for a no-fuss good coverage BB cream. It is long-lasting and it glides on like a dream.

Tips: I found applying the BB cream with my fingers gave a better finish and it sits really well on top of moisturizer. It could also be used as a base for a sheer-medium coverage foundation.
