Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

I like this product a lot. I am a regular Garnier BB cream user, alternating between light and medium through the seasons. I was so sceptical when this product arrived and it is white. But it really does what it says it will do, it goes on white and adjusts to your skin tone. You can see it change colour as you apply it. For work days 2 layers gives me the coverage I want, weekends I am happy to go with 1 layer. Will definitely be purchasing this product.

I use BB Cream everyday, however this one shockec me at first, when you first get it out of the tube it's white but then as soon as you start rubbing it in it changes to an orange colour, seeing this color I thought I would end up looking like a carrot, however that couldn't be further from the truth, it blended perfectly into my skin and you could hardly tell it was there. While it doesn't offer as much coverage as some others I have tried it looks much more natural and just evens your skin tone and minimises redness. What I like most about it is that it doesn't settle in to your fine lines like others sometimes do so you can use this without a primer making it a good choice when you just want a quick easy choice in the morning.

I received this as a substitute in one of my beauty hauls from the vault and ive been pleasantly surprised. I like the fact its the same Garnier tube, good size and a nice creamy constancy and scent. It comes out white and then as you rub it on your skin it changes colour. I find it blends in easily and gives a nude coverage, just really evens out your skin tone in my opinion. I like the fact it has added sun protection and its easy to apply. Its nice and light. Perfect for quick routines.

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.

The first thing that struck me about this product was the scent, really nice and fresh. The coverage was perfect for a BB cream, sheer, but not to much so, with good coverage. Easy application, and it lasted well, even in the very humid Auckland February weather.

This product was a real surprise. When I saw it was clear I thought how on earth is this going to work? It has. Pleasant, sweet fragrance and is velvety smooth. When I smoothed it on, like magic the blotchyness and sun spots were minimised. Not gone but I didn't expect that from a BB cream. It felt light but gave great coverage and the color was perfect. It was a humid day but it lasted well. Didn't go shiny and I didn't feel I needed to reapply it. I have used other Garnier BB creams but this is by far the best best. I have at tan in summer and not in winter and with being able to adjust to any color this is a go to product anytime. This sits at a fantastic price point for the magic it performs.

I have a mature sensitive skin with some redness on the cheeks. I have been using BB creams for many years and was interested to try the Garnier BB Cream Nude. I applied the Garnier BB Nude Effect as a regular moisturiser on my skin. I used half a pea size amount for each application and even applied a second layer for increased coverage. It didn't quite cover the redness as claimed. I like the consistency of the cream. It is creamy. The cream doesn't run out of the tube as you open it, as many other creams do. The pop-up lid makes it is easy to use and the lid closes well. The fragrance is nice and fresh. I tried it during the very hot and humid days of February in the Waikato region. The cream lasted well and kept my skin hydrated. It is also nice to have a SPF 15 UV protection. Unlike other BB creams I used, it is interesting to see that the texture is white. The texture has mineral pigments which adjust to match the skin tone. The cream is about $5 more expensive that the BB cream I usually use. I like using this product and would recommend it to my friends.

I was very surprised to find the cream to be a white colour, but when I applied to my face it changed to a normal BB cream colour.

The instructions suggested applying to your face like you would with a normal moisturiser - I actually applied with my makeup sponge. I also applied my normal moisturiser prior to apply this BB cream.

Interesting the tube looked like it had an aftermarket label attached, I peeled back the corner and found the original label in a foreign language.

Overall, I found this BB cream gave great coverage and blended in extremely well and covered up some of my uneven tone and didn’t make my face feel heavy or sticky.

I didn’t bother with a separate foundation or powder on top.

I have to say I was a little skeptical about the claims of matching most skin tones. I have enormous trouble matching generic foundation or BB cream with my tan olive skin tone with greenish hue undertone. Normally I have to buy several shades and blend them together to achieve what I need. The downsides to this method is heavy caked make up, and sometimes I luck out and look like an Oompa Loompa, or Casper the ghost. This BB cream is lightweight and pigment coverage is sheer enough to compliment and work with my skin tone and the appearance is enough to substitute in place of foundation (or in my case blend of several foundations). The only thing I would mention is that it has been unusually muggy these past few days since I have been trialling this cream my face has been ultra shiny, sweaty and gross. So, I am not sure what the ultimate finish would be like under normal weather conditions but based on my experience I would think this product would be a good all round performer.

I liked the clean light packaging, but being white it would get grubby quite quickly tossed in a make up bag. That might not mean much to most people, but I am a visual person and like pretty things so I would probably be endlessly cleaning the tube to keep it looking smart.

As far as BB creams go. It's on par with most. The colour matching magic is great. But in my experience with other BB creams the available tones are usually limited to one, or two and they perform similarly well.

This cream is more suited for enhancing a natural clean, even and clear skin look. I would recommend it and I can't wait to try it out on a less humid day to see how it wears.

I have to say, I really like this Garnier BB Cream. The cream is very light in texture, so you don’t feel like you’re even wearing anything. When you squeeze it out of the tube, it just looks like moisturiser and has no colour, but somehow, it seems to miraculously match your own skin tone. I put some on half my face and the colour matched the other half of my face perfectly.

It has a light, fresh smelling fragrance and gave my face a nice, healthy looking glow. My skin looks smoother when I’m wearing it, but it doesn’t really look like I’m wearing any makeup. It just seems to smooth out the imperfections and my pigmentation wasn’t as noticeable. The tube it comes in, is easy to use as well.

I like that it has Vitamin C in it, which is meant to be very good for your skin. My skin looks very hydrated when I’m wearing it. If I had any criticism at all, it would be that the SPF factor is only 15 and I normally look for an SPF of 30 in my foundation. Having said that, it would probably feel thicker if it had an SPF of 30 and I really love its lightweight texture and how easy it glides on. If you want to have a higher protection factor than 15, you can always do what I do, and use a moisturiser with 30 SPF, under this BB cream.

I’ve enjoyed trialling this BB cream so much, that I will switch to using this now. All in all, I will definitely buy this BB cream and I would recommend it to my friends. I imagine you can purchase it at the supermarket, along with other Garnier products, which is always handy, as well.
