Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

So my expectations of this universal BB cream were that it'd be kind of like a blur cream/softening primer.

The tube is classic Garnier BB style, a nice tight lid, easy to dispense product. It's functional and looks nice, what more can you ask.

The product is white when it comes out of the tube - this cemented my expectation that it was going to be a primer type cream. I was wrong.

As soon as you begin to work the product into your skin, be it your face or the back of your hand, it begins to change shade. As you continue to rub and blend it disappears into your skin, leaving you with that 'you, but better' look. Very noice!

You do need to blend well, I recommend using a beauty blender or your fingers, a brush doesn't really work. And don't forget to blend down your neck and maybe even any decolletage on show.

I found the BB cream really moisturising, which means if you're heading out overnight somewhere, you could get away with just using this in the morning, rather than packing your whole skin care regime!

The effects of this BB cream are a luminous finish that makes your skin look natural, but the most awesome natural it could be. Its not going to hide big imperfections or blemishes, but it will soften them.

Price wise I don't think you can moan, especially as it will last ages.

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.

I was lucky enough to trial Garnier's newest BB Cream. And I actually quite like it! Unlike other BB Creams, this one is not tinted - so no worries about matching the BB Cream to your skin tone! Rather, it is white and the same texture as a normal moisturiser. The idea is that this BB cream adjusts to the colour of your skin to get a perfect match every time.

I really like the fragrance of this product; feminine, fresh and summer-y. If you are not a fan of fragranced moisturisers or BB creams, then this is not the product for you.

This did not cover my redness or scaring. But in all fairness, I do not use BB creams for this rather I use foundations. I use BB creams under foundation almost as a primer. And for this this product is great! Rather than covering my troublesome skin, it almost slightly blurred it or smoothed the pigmentation. It almost just made my skin look and feel a little less tired.

Overall, would I buy it again? As a primer sure! As an alternative to foundation, no. But I do not find any BB cream covers my redness or scarring so this is not individual to this product. I really like the idea of not worrying about buying the right shade and the smell and feel made my skin feel fresh. So for this reason I will totally continue using this!

The product was packaged in a compact tube which could fit inside my handbag or make up bag to transport with me. The cream was white in colour and once applied it matched my olive skin tone perfectly. After applying my eye liner, mascara and lippy I still had that natural feel and my skin didn't feel heavy as it usually does with other BB creams. The product had a has an SPF 15 and was Universal shade. Throughout the day I never had the need to touch up my make up and kept my natural beauty look and glow on my skin.

Even though was a very quick time frame of a review, i must say i was impressed, Really like the fact that it suits any skin so you dont end up getting the wrong light med or dark, and it really did adjust to the skin, it is a light cover, which for me during the work week is perfect, as i dont like wearing a heavy foundation,i apply always apply with a sponge and it really worked well with that, it also feels nice and light and looks natural.. so im pretty impressed with this for a everyday cover. will be purchasing again.and i know it is a reasonable price range, always good to have a nice bb cream for everyday use. thank you :)

As a long term user of BB Creams, I've tried a few. This one had a really good consistency, a proper cream, which was an immediate surprise as it was white. Don't be fooled. I applied the cream onto sections of my face then smoothed on with my fingers, and as the consistency of the cream is so good, it went on really well. Surprising again, as it immediately changed to a skin-tone colour. Did it match mine? Not quite - it was me if I had a bit of a tan, however it didn't look too dark for me. What I immediately noticed was the grey circles under my eyes instantly improved! The smell is pleasant, not overpowering. The coverage is a little lighter than I was hoping for giving it was a cream, however it did improve the appearance of my skin, minimising the red capillaries, the overall look being smoother, more even. I did patch cover a few places, but it didn't build up like a foundation. My skin felt moisturised all day, which again was a surprise given the current humitidy and heat in Auckland, and did indeed have a healthy glow to it as claimed. Personally however, now I'm in my 40's I find a 'glow' doesn't really suit as it can reflect back the imperfections/fine lines, and this is exactly what happened. The actual coverage was still in place after a busy day, which is important for me as a massage therapist who sweats a little during work. Packaging wise, it is typically Garnier with all the info you need on the product and ingredients. The tube is standard, easy to squeeze, and while I prefer pump bottles so there is no issue with leaking product/mess from tubes while getting lid back on with product on fingers, because this is a cream, nothing leaked out. Overall I'd say this product does exactly what it claims, I would use again and I'd recommend it, possibly for first time BB Creamers especially wanting healthy looking day time skin without foundation.

Im a big fan of Bb creams because they're light and fresh feeling without feeling like theyre clogging your pores. However although this one felt great on, the lack of coverage was quite disappointing, compared to other BB creams ive used.

I have used Garnier BB Creams in the past and never really been a fan of them until now.

It's such a user friendly product, you can't get it wrong because the colour adjusts to your skin tone so no looking like an oompa loompa.

Comes in a tube which is how I like my products as it's easy to get the product out.

Has a nice scent to it but very unique so it's hard for me to explain. Doesn't react to my skin which is a miracle in itself.

If you are looking for a full coverage product, then you may need to keep looking. If you want it to reduce the look of blemishes and redness, then it will do the trick.

I've been using mine everyday and so happy to receive a free one from BR as part of the BRBB deals.

I'm not a big wearer of foundation so prefer BB creams like this for their lighter feel and more natural look.

I was a little skeptical about its claims to match your skin tone as I had recently returned from a holiday in Bali so had a slight tan. I was worried that the cream might make me look washed out compared to the rest of my skin, but it didn't. No need to try a bunch of testers on your hand now to find one that matches! It does it for you!

I hadn't read things in too much detail before applying it so I got a bit of a surprise when it was white when it came out of the tube! Straight away it starts to change colour though, even in your hands.

The cream instantly looked natural and I don't feel like I look like I'm wearing foundation. But my usual shininess is replaced with a natural looking matte finish. My blemishes and imperfections aren't totally covered but they are minimised. And I prefer that to looking overly made up. It's so quick to apply too. No need for fancy sponges, applicators or brushes.

My skin also has a tendency to dry out when I use foundations and that just highlights the fact that I'm wearing it! So it felt great to use a cream that didn't look like my skin had cracked like Thing from the Avengers! Because I'm paranoid about that, I always use a BB cream after my usual skincare routine, just to make sure.

The final thing it has in its favour is it didn't rub off all over the place on clothes or even my motorbike helmet. I'm a fan!

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.
