Well I received this last Saturday, and could not wait to give it a go, as I unpackaged it and I squeezed a little on to my finger, I thought HHHmmmm this is a little thick, might not be any good for me as I normally use a lotion.
But I gave it a go anyway, at first I was ohh no its made me look oily, (it had too much shine) for my liking, but it did wear very well for the day, the second day I used it again then put over my normal foundation as the packaging said I could do, well I found that too much, too thick on my skin, and after a while you could see the couple of blemishes that I have.
But not prepared to give up, I tried with my thin lizzy concealer underneath it, just a little mind you, then applied the BB cream. No foundation over the top, well that looked heaps better but through out the day I found it was like slipping down my face,
Day 3 still not prepared to give up, I came up the another idea. I applied the thin lizzy concealer, just a small about once again then the BB cream over the top then I remembered I had a container of veil in my draw that I had never used, so I applied that over the top of the BB cream and WOOOW I was happy, make up stayed all day, looked as good as I applied it in the morning, did the same this morning, and still happy.
Yes I will be using this from now on, I love it, I love the texture of the BB cream its nice and silky against your skin, and its thick so a little goes a long way, will last me ages even though I wear make up 7 days a week, even when I'm home I still wear it. I also like the fact that its reasonably priced, and available in supermarkets.
I'm new to BB creams so I was thrilled to try the Garnier one. Usually I use foundation so I was worried this product wouldn't provide enough coverage especially for my nose which can get quite shiny. I not only used this lightly applied when at home for the day, but I wore it to work with a light dusting of loose powder (which I wear anyway). It is a fantastic product and smells lovely too. I've also tried a tiny bit under my foundation which worked well, although I will probably wear them separately in the future as it is not really necessary. This product moisturises my drier areas such as cheeks, but is not greasy on my t-zone. I love it!
Tips: If using instead of foundation, apply lightly all over, then a second thin layer over your t-zone or anywhere where some redness might show, such as a spot. Press palms carefully all over your face (this sets the BB cream) then lightly dust with powder if you use it.
