Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

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.

Really love this product, I am not one to wear a lot of foundation so this BB cream gives a nice light coverage without looking heavy.

I really tried to like this product but unfortunately it didn't deliver. I have used Garnier BB creams before with great success however this streaked and was difficult to blend and the colour wasn't as natural. It didn't provide a flawless coverage as claimed.

As a regular user of Garnier's Original BB cream this is a great alternative. I have olive skin and was rather skeptical of the "one shade fits all" claim but this product most definitely self adjusts to your skin tone and does not have red/yellow undertones. I would even go as far to say I am happier with the colour match of this than the normal/medium Garnier BB cream I usually use. Consistency and scent are the same as other Garnier BB creams - The consistency of the cream is thick-ish but goes onto the skin nicely and absorbs well. Scent is faint and pleasant, not at all overwhelming.

Garnier BB Nude Effect was nice - just more of a 'moisturiser' than other BB creams I've used.

Packaging was easy to read and simple. The size was good and flip top lid easy to use and wouldn't get lost in the makeup bag.

The BB Nude Effect smell is great and my skin felt hydrated and happy (a bit humid at the moment but still didn't feel too heavy). It blended in pretty well and my skin did have the 'natural glowing skin' look as promised.

LOVE that it offered sun protection too - so important and one less product to pop on when I was heading out and about.

I would used this product again but more as a moisturiser/product to use when going outdoors - I prefer a bit more coverage for everyday.

Also maybe two or three shades would be better eg light/medium and medium/dark.

Purchased on sale super cheap at countdown to give this a try. Was promising as cream was white at first but even when applying super sparingly and trying to blend in it was just slightly too orangey when it adjusted to my supposed skin tone. Not good for very fair skin

Well they weren't lying when they called it a 'skin perfector'!

When using this BB cream my skin looks and feels amazing. I don't have particularly bad skin, its just a little sallow, and if I don't use a light base product, I look, well, a bit like a corpse.

This starts off white, then turns, dare I say it, a bit orangey. But fear not - it will blend to match your skin tone!

It's so light, yet leaves skin glowy and healthy looking.

I think for the price you'd be hard pushed to find a better BB Cream!

I usually don’t mind a cheap garnier bb cream but sadly I didn’t love this one. It was cheap and readily available which I like as can grab at most supermarkets or the warehouse etc.. but I won’t be doing that again.

I have had luck with garnier so wasn’t too worried but this looks terrible on the skin and the formula itself isn’t that nice to apply. It’s sad as being a bb cream I want easy and quick application. I usually wear a bb every day so to get lumped with this was a shame.

I am having to try and find inventive ways to mix and use it up but I have given up and biffed this one. Usually I mix with a sunscreen but it’s proving too hard as the cream itself doesn’t mix well with the sunscreen.

It left my skin cakey with that I’m wearing lots of make up look which isn’t what I’m after.. a bb cream should be quite flawless and natural this isn’t that so it’s a formula I wouldn’t purchase again. As I was applying it was rolling up and rubbing off under my fingers rather than seamlessly blending in and it gave me a lot of patches giving my skin the orange look.

Sadly I wouldn’t purchase this formula again but I have had luck with some of their other bb creams so not all is lost.
