This product is my holy grail BB cream product. I haven't tried any other BB creams (except the other Garnier ones) and I don't think I ever will!
I like the tube. It's long and thin and fits (almost) perfectly in my lipstick holder in my makeup stand. It also holds less than the other tubes of BB cream from Garnier, but I find that it lasts a lot longer and you need a lot less of it compared to the others.
The formula is super runny, so you can store it any which way you want, but if you store it on the lid, make sure you are super careful when you open it because it will be like a little explosion! There is also a chemical smell to it, I don't always notice it, but I can feel it if it gets a little too close to my eyes.
I use a stippling brush to get this bad boy on, but you can use your fingers and apply it like a moisturizer, or a blending sponge, or whatever is in your arsenal! It gives off a light coverage, I find I can still see some bits of red on my cheeks, but foundation covers it almost immediately, and I use a green red reducing primer underneath so it helps out too.
This stuff lasts (on me) all day set with a powder or not, and it's fabulous. It sets matte-ish, actually matches my skin tone and is just generally nice to wear. My skin looks flawless if I wear this, which I do whenever I wear make up. I don't even use as much foundation as I would with this stuff underneath. It's that freakin' good.
I don't wear makeup often, so a whole tube lasted me a good year(ish). I don't need to buy another as I have a spare, but I will buy this again in future because I LOVE it!
I was pleasantly surprised by this one, it being a supermarket product!
I used the light shade. As I have very pale skin the match wasn't perfect but it wasn't glaringly dark orange like some tinted products can be. The fragrance is subtle and clean, no perfumes to make me all sniffy!
I applied the product to clean skin with a foundation brush. The coverage is very sheer so I had to build up the layers a bit in problem areas, but the texture was really good (neither greasy nor cakey, it dried but didn't feel tight). It reflects the light/has a slight sheen to it so it looks pretty natural. I would tend to use concealer for the extra coverage, but I still feel like this product could replace my foundation.
Tips: Using a brush is just my personal preference, dabbing it into the skin with your fingertips would work as well.
I would recommend that people with medium skin tones check out the light shade first; I feel like it would suit most caucasian skin and the medium shade might be a tad dark.
