Light and moist, but shade limited

I was suprised by the creamy mousse feel of this product, not like a liquid foundation at all.

I didn't really notice a reduction in the look of my fine lines, but it felt nice - not thick or dry - and the fragrance was pleasant also.

I found the shade options limiting, I am usually Revlon Colourstay sand beige, or Revlon Age defying tender beige, so I would be Light in this product.

As my skin is rather dry, I felt that a moisturiser under the foundation was better for me.

Certainly is a good product for the price.

I prefer more coverage that this product gives, and would therefore not use this everyday, but with the sunscreen in this product I would certainly use it on no make-up days, gardening, beach etc.

Tips: If your skin is rather dry, you may like to use a moisuriser under this product.

Use it everyday

This under my concealer and over my primer really does firm up the skin, it doesn't last long though, which sucks! I don't have wrinkles so can't comment on that but my mum who does, doesn't seem to like this product as it highlights the lines. I however, if I did not have enough time would go out with just this on.

Smooth, moisturised, glowing skin

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Anti Ageing is a real pleasure to use. It has a lovely fresh fragrance and a consistency that is thick but not heavy. It glides on beautifully and the results are instant - a fresh glow that brightens tired looking skin and gives a youthful look.

Although I have skin that tends to be dry, I would be confident using this without any additional moisturiser, making this product an excellent multi-tasker. But don't be put off if your skin is more normal to oily - there was no greasy t-zone in sight, even 12 hours after application!

If you're after a foundation substitute, however, this isn't the product for you. The coverage is very sheer and I wouldn't claim it to be long-wearing. On discovering this I tried it as a foundation base and it works very effectively in the way that a primer would, adding a slight luminescence and allowing the foundation to glide over smoothly thereby requiring less product. Due to the tint, it even added a little more depth of coverage to a light/medium-weight foundation.

Overall I would say this product is good value for money, depending on what you're looking for in a BB cream. It will almost certainly make a worthwhile addition to your beauty kit.

Tips: I would recommend testing the colour before purchase if at all possible, as I found the light colour a little darker than expected. As a result, using more of the product in an attempt to get a greater coverage didn't do my fair face any favours!

Great Product but....

I was really excited to try this product, as a busy mum who is used to wearing a full face of makeup everyday I was looking for something quick and easy to make me feel more confident going without makeup. The first thing I noticed about this product is that it was a lot thicker and more pigmented then I expected it to be. It felt very greasy and heavy on my skin. This feeling lasted about an hour, I would touch my face and my fingers would come away very oily. After that it seemed to be absorbed by my skin more but I still felt like I needed to "remove" it at the end of the day with makeup wipes. On the other hand though it definitely gave my skin a really nice glow and was a lot healthier looking then if I had not been wearing anything. I used the medium colour and it was perfect for my olive skin. I believe that this product would be suited to drier skin types who would like to give their skin some much needed moisture while also giving them a bit of colour and glow.

Tips: You do not need to use much, a little goes a long way.

Garnier BB cream anti-ageing (light)

I really like the consistency - it applies just like liquid foundation. It was thicker than I was expecting & also very dark for "light". It also left my skin shiny which was disappointing in winter. Made my skin feel great but wished it was a lighter shade.

Tips: Definitely would use in summer due to colour and SPF. I used a sponge to apply which helped to achieve even coverage.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Anti Age

I have an oily/combination skin type & even at my age, I am still prone to breakouts. The product has a good consistency; Easy to apply overall. The product has a good fragrance as with all the Garnier products. Coverage is great; concealed my spots well & even though it lasted the whole day, it left my skin feeling more oily than when I used the Oil Free BB cream, which gives a good, matte cover. Priced well at most stores. Good packaging & ample product info on the box. So, all in all, a good product, however if my skin wasn't as oily as it is, then it would be a great product for me. I have recommended to a friend who has a normal skin type & she loves it.

Tips: After I have applied my BB cream, I let it absorb a bit; after that I apply a light dusting of loose powder, just to set my makeup.

Pretty close to a Miracle!

Well I should describe me before I can give you a review of the new Garnier BB cream. I'm 53, I have a fair complexion, with olive undertones. I don't have redness, but I do (still!) have breakouts to cover and of course lines and wrinkles, which adds a different dimension to my likes of a foundation coverage. I'm not going to compare packaging etc. to more expensive products so I thought for the price it was nice, it was easy to squeeze, I liked the colours and the fact it stands on its lid, also that it has a flip and not a screw on top. The texture was good and I found it reasonably easy to apply, it seemed to sit on the top of my skin and showed my pores so it was necessary to use my Kabuki brush to even it out, the coverage was light which I expected, saying that it did cover my skin variations. It surprised me with a lovely cooling feel. The first time I used it with full make up, I did not find it that easy to apply my blusher (powder) it didn't want to glide on. My test of a foundation is how it looks by the end of the day, it scored well, still had coverage and hadn't collected in my lines (which some foundations do and make the wrinkles look worse LOL). I have tried a BB cream before and wasn't impressed so I'm pleased to say, yes I would buy Garnier BB cream again, thank you Beauty Review for the chance to review this product as I probably wouldn't have purchased it.

Tips: Use a Kabuki or foundation brush to even the cream out when applying.

Skin Perfector BB Cream - Anti Ageing

Skin Type - my skin is normal and i liked the product even though it wasn't a very long testing time for something like this Consistency - is it thick, creamy, for the application i tried fingers and lightly wet sponge with i found to be the best way to apply,with full coverage with a matte finish. I thought the fragrance was quite strong, would like less or no fragrance myself. Longevity - seemed to last an 8 hour shift, and throughout my day, so would recommend product to others to use, it also is a very good price compared to other similar brands. Packaging - the packaging is good i like the before and after photo on the box, and it makes it easy to use the right amount. Results - after using the product as specified does it do what it claims? would have liked a longer test cant really tell in just 2 weeks but will continue to use until product is finished.

Great Daily Wear Product

I have sensitive skin that reacts to many ingredients in products and causes me a lot of grief when trialing new developments and/or skin care products. I equally struggle with the colours of foundation and BB creams as my skin tends to have more of a yellow base which isn't well supported in many of the brands available. I was lucky ed to trial two BB creams - one the normal Miracle Skin Perfector and the other the Anti-ageing one so I chose to apply both - one to each side of my face for a week. On initial application I noted the very pleasant fragrance of the anti-ageing BB cream. It was subtle but refreshing. The normal BB cream had a different fragrance and while not as pleasant as the anti-ageing product it was still perfectly acceptable. Packing for both was identical other than the additional of a red banner on the anti-ageing BB cream. Packing was attractive and functional. Now to the colour - I chose the medium colour. My immediate reaction was OMG this is so dark! I was almost put off using it but thankfully I perservered as the colour spread out evenly and went on smoothly. Neither product left streaks when applied to cleansed skin. I did not pre moisturise but applied both creams to bare skin. There is quite a lot of orange pigment in the Medium colour but it did blend in well.. Did I notice andl differences in the appearance of my skin when wearing two different types of Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream. To be frank the only glaring difference was that the anti ageing BB cream gave my skin a more highlighted appearance on my cheekbones and above my brows. The normal BB cream was drier but still left an overall smooth appearance to my complexion. Both products lasted exceptionally well throughout the day and left me feeling like I was bare-skinned but with a more even skin tone than would normally be the case. I have some serious pigmentation issues under my chin which neither product covered very well. Whether the anti-ageing BB cream gave my wrinkles (I am lucky to not have a huge number of them) or not is still under debate in my household. My skin certainly felt firmer and definitely glowed. The side of my face that used the normal BB cream did not feel as firm nor had the highlighted appearance as the other. Overall both creams left me feeling confident that my skin was well presented when out and about. Nobody noticed or commented that my face looked different one side to the other. Best of all I experienced no break-outs or irritations which is always a bonus for someone with sensitive skin. The only downside is the overall orange tinge that I would have preferred to be more toned down in the medium. I think that as far as value for money goes this is a great daily wear product that leaves skin feeling hydrated and natural

Tips: Make sure you don't use too much of the BB cream and blend it well. If you have a yellow tinge to your skin tone I am not sure if the medium tone would be suitable.

garnier miracle cream

I tried this product as soon as it arrived,i dont normally wear a foundation,just moisteriser and a bit of blusher,i had the medium cream and it was too dark for my face or i was just not used to wearing foundation,so i put some lippy on and my daughter said i looked very pretty but im tempted to try the light colour as the cream looked smooth and covered age spots and blemishes on my face and its great that its a sunblock.It would be great if this product had no colour in it and was just a basic moisteriser which i would use forever.

Tips: Dont forget to apply the cream to your neck.
