I was skeptical on this product and wasn't quite sure how it would work but it did. I tried it for the first time and made a mistake and treated it like a foundation so added powder on top, wrong move. It made it patchy and cakey. I took it off and reapplied just like a moisturiser and wow it was great. It didn't cover my imperfections it just gave me a more of a glow and a smoother complexion. I now use it on the days I don't wear makeup with abit of mascara and it just lifts me up. Great when I'm on the go with a busy toddler. Definitely reccomend this product and will be using it regularly.

Tips: No need to put moisturiser on before it's hydrating enough on its own.
Was super excited to find out i would be participating in the trial team for this product!! My initial thoughts when i squirted out the BB cream and rubbed it between my fingers for the first time were WOW - this is very thick and creamy, and feels like the consistency of a hydrating night moisturiser, not the type of product i would usually put on my face during the day. It definitely does not feel like any sort of cosmetic product/ foundation upon application, more like skincare. As you rub the product around and it heats up with your body temperature, it begins to change colour from pure white to a 'match' of your skin. I was pleasantly surprised that the BB cream didn't have the classic cheeto-esque orangey look that 99% of other drugstore BB creams do, and (although a tiny bit orange and not perfect) had more of a yellowy undertone.
I have naturally quite oily skin, so i was hesitant to test this out and see how it wore during the day. When i applied it to my skin, it felt super nourishing and gave me a hint of coverage. I thought it looked absolutely fantastic. My skin was glowing, my complexion was evened out, and it looked like i had no makeup on. I totally fell in love, but knew my oily skin would fail me within an hour of having this on. This is not the type of BB cream to use if you want any sort of actual coverage, more so for if you are running errands for the day or going to the beach. As i suspected, after an hour or two i had already turned oily (I did powder by the way) but i still am overall happy with this product. I definitely will be using this again for casual days and days at the beach for when you want your skin to look perfect but not look like you're wearing makeup, but not when i am actually in the mood to apply proper makeup.
Tips: Make sure you set this if you have oily skin - it is definitely very hydrating/oily and will start to slip and slide fairly quickly.
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
The opportunity to review this BB cream could not have come at a better time! I have a 3 week old baby so my every day routine has become pretty simplified and I need effective quick products to get me looking semi put together and I have been on the hunt for a new BB cream and this Garnier Nude Effect BB Cream ticks all my boxes. I love that this is a universal shade, it comes out of the tube white and like magic the colour appears as you apply and adjusts to your skin tone perfectly! I love that this product really blurs the imperfections and leaves me looking glowy and awake for the day and the colour blends perfectly leaving me looking natural but an improved version of me. The BB cream also has SPF built in which is a huge plus as it's super important to have sun protection on your skin every single day, however I do find the product smells a little sunscreeny on application but this soon fades. The product comes in a simple squeezy tube, which won't win any design awards but it's a classic format that does its job well, seals nicely and it something you can easily chuck into your handbag or toiletry bag if going away. It says it is suitable for sentive skin which I do have and true to its word I have not had any skin issues or breakouts using this (which can sometimes happen when trying something new) I definitely prefer this to the other Garnier BB creams I have tried and I think this is largely due to the skin matching pigments in the formula as the standard shades just never seemed to look right. Overall it gets a big thumbs up from me and this has become a new daily staple in my routine!
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.
This product made me sneeze a lot! It makes my pale skin look orange and rubs off on the collar of my t-shirts, even if I give it 20 minutes to sink in. It does moisturise skin but there are probably better BB or CC creams out there. Very expensive for the product.
Tips: N/A
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 :)
I used to love Garnier BB creams particularly in the warmer months, when heavy foundations feel yuck on my skin and those days when I just wanted a little “glow” instead of a full face.
Firstly what is this sorcery?! It comes out white (looks like a moisturiser) then as you apply it to your skin and it warms up, it changes colour to match your skin tone. It’s magic!!
The cream itself is quite thick and feels nice when blending it in. I did just use my fingers to blend it in which I found easy. I just used this straight on my skin (no serum, no moisturiser under it)
The cream I find is quite perfumed for me but it does settle down after an hour. I think I might be a bit sensitive to scents but it is nice, it’s fresh and almost slightly floral.
I have dry skin that has a few lines and crinkles, so I need something moisturising for my skin that doesn’t settle in said crinkles. I love how this BB cream is moisturising and doesn’t settle in lines it just gives me a nice even skin tone. I have a few red patches on my cheeks and this covers them beautifully.
This lasted around 7 hours before it looked like it had “done its dash” i love how this is super easy to remove. I hate removing makeup it always seems such an effort but this comes off with just a cleanser.. winning!
I love the packaging, a nice easy squeeze tube that sits on its lid, perfect for getting all product out and plastic is great being able to take it anywhere without the fear of it breaking or leaking. I LOVE this has SPF15 I wish more foundations and moisturisers had SPF.
Overall a Fantastic BB cream and I will repurchase when this runs out. It’s perfect for summer!
I used Garnier Skin Perfector BB cream everyday since receiving it. I love the feel of the cream. It matched my skin perfectly, is easy to apply and a little goes a long way. I especially like how it doesn’t feel like I am wearing a lot of makeup but it still looks like I am. I would highly recommend this and will definitely be using again.
This BB Cream is great. I love that it has SPF in it, making me feel safe for the morning route to work. Smells nice and glides on smoothly.
Tips: If you put too much on it can feel a little oily by the end of the day.
