Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

I was pleased to be selected for this trial as I’ve never used a BB cream before so was a great chance to try one, thanks Beauty Review!!

First up, it has a light fragrance and applies nicely. Interesting that it is a white cream in the packaging and yet when applied to the skin it does change colour to closely match your skin tone. I’m not sure if all BB creams do this, but was a bit of a surprise the first time I used it. It feels light on the skin and didn’t irritate at all. It’s definately a light coverage and therefore not really suitable for me as a makeup base due to not completely covering redness and small broken veins. The instructions do say to apply a second layer if needed but I found it started to turn my skin a more orange shade, so one layer is enough. It does provide enough coverage though for weekend wear, when you want to even things out a little but not have to go the full foundation route.

In short, it’s great for the weekend, nipping out to the shops etc and the SP15 is an added bonus. I haven't tried any other BB creams but I would purchase again to have on hand when a light coverage is needed.

Like the feel of it when first applied, it feels soft and covers well and the light color suited me. Unfortunately later in the day the product seems to rub off if you touch you face and has a rubber type consistency. It does so even if l mixed it with other make up or not. I now use it just around the farm or out when exercising so l dont use up my favorite make up . It's a shame as the colour and feel when it first goes on is good . Thanks xoxo

I love BB creams for daily light coverage. It feels great on the skin and very moisturising. I also thought that this had a bit of a blurring effect that other BB creams don't necessarily have. However, I wish the product wasn't so thick in consistency as it feels a little gloopy in the hand. It dries down after a while, but I wish it was thinner so it could blend more easily. It also is a bit orangey compared to my skin, so I would definitely not recommend for pale skin as the orangey tone would be very obvious.

I was really excited to try this new formula after loving the previous version I bought years ago. The formula is great! Smooth, blends reasonably well and doesn't make my forehead look greasy. It does even the skin tone out nicely, but it comes out very yellow on my skin. I found using a primer underneath actually made it look more yellow and using it just on top of my normal every day moisturiser made it sit nicely and blend easier.

Overall, it's nice to use and doesn't irritate my skin. Watching it transform from a white cream to a gold and white then actually gold cream is slightly scary and you will learn very quickly that a little goes a long way.

I was super excited to receive this product as i’m constantly mixing moituriser with foundation to get a 2 in 1. This product comes out smelling pleasant with little to no smell, is white and smooth. I used it all over my face and it felt light and smooth. It glided over my skin but was very uneven and streaky, requiring quite a bit of work patting it to get an even coverage. There was little colour and no real glow. I tried in the following days squeezing it into my hand and mixing it until the colour was showing before applying it and this seemed to help the application go on better and provide an even coverage. I wouldn’t buy again as it just didn’t give me any colour and the coverage wasn’t smooth enough for me.

A self-adjusting formula has never really worked for my pale skin, and this one wasn't much different unfortunately.

It goes on white, blends easily, and very quickly turns orange/tan. On my skin the contrast of BB shade versus skin tone was too different. It did settle a little, but I still felt 'orange'.

As others have said, it has zero coverage. I'm not confident enough with my skin other than on holiday, or in the backyard, to go without some coverage. On a summer holiday, this would be perfect for a no makeup glow type of look.

Felt lovely on the skin. Not too oily. Gave a dewy glow finish. Just not the BB cream for me.

This bb cream comes out of the tube white in colour which is a surprise but once you start applying it to your face, colour is released and it turns to a bronze colour. It is incredibly sheer and won’t cover up pigmentation issues etc but it does add a lovely glow to the skin. The scent is nice and fresh.

I wanted to love this but Its just too orange for me to use it alone. If mixed with a moisturizer I can tone it down a little and then put foundation over top. I do enjoy the way it feels on my skin. I'm not crazy about this product but I feel it has potential so I will try the other BB'S in this range.
