I was disappointed in this, I have pale skin and the fair/light colour of the product was actually quite dark, and very yellow, more like they were targeting it towards fair tanned people.

All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.
Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.
GARNIER'S new BB Cream, combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin.
The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.
GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.
It has a new active ingredient, Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.
Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish
GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

If your skin is orange, this'll work for you!
I was really excited to try this as it's a reasonably price and accessible product, but when I did it was very disappointing. :/ My skin is quite light, and this 'light' toned BB cream was orange on my face from the get-go - then after wearing it for an hour it'd oxidised to a beautiful darkened oompa-loompa tone. Asides from the colour, it doesn't blend out very well, even over primer, and separates a lot on the skin. My skin is combination and I'm prone to acne, and this made my face look like a child's painting to be honest - caught all my drier patches, sunk into the pores and clung to the peach fuzz on my cheeks, and separated all over the face.
Overall, this BB cream is a greasy orange mess and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Tips: Don't try it. Just don't.

Not a fan
Even though this is easily found and for a reasonable price the product was a complete and utter fail for me.
1) Oil Free? Hmm well I broke out in spots over those areas of my face that are subjectable to oily patches. It also broke down across my face after a few hours.
2) Smell, it smells over the top of chemicals and doesn't really wear away, felt like I was adding paint to my face
3) Colour, it initially suited my skin tone but after application it oxidised and turned a very odd shade of orange, this was corrected using concealer and powder but when I wear a BB cream it is on those days when I want a 3 step makeup (BB, mascara and lipstick) to get out of the house looking natural so I wouldn't want to add the extra steps needed to not look really orange faced.
Overall it is a miss for me, but I generally have an adversary to Garnier products.

Beautiful bb cream in shade light
I use this bb cream everyday it provides a medium coverage which I prefer. It has a luminous, dewy look when applied but can bet set with a powder to look more satin/matte. I find that it lasts a good 8 hours but by the end can look patchy which I find normal for myself. I am in NC25 and find that it can look the teeniest bit orange so I don't recommend it for people with fair skin. It also has a nice skincare smell to it

Great Natural Look
I love this for when I'm rushing to go out and want a natural no makeup look. It's affordable, compact and easy to apply. It's light and good coverage whilst letting your skin breathe, great for oily/dry skin
Tips: Apply lightly, you don't need too much product

My awesome go-to product
I love this BB cream. I had been looking for a liquid foundation that really just improved th look of my skin without making my skin look caked on or overdone. I wanted to find a product that blended into my skin while blurring imperfections and felt like I was wearing nothing. I wanted a foundation that didn't require too much effort to apply, but something with buildable coverage. I FOUND IT!!! This bb cream does it all and more. It is a dream to apply, I use the expert face brush by real techniques, and apply it over my moisturiser and primer like I would with any foundation. It blends in seamlessly and without fuss. It never looks cakey or streaky, and just sinks into my skin to provide a flawless complexion. I apply a light dusting of power over my t zone and I'm good to go-I use this for day and night looks.
I do notice slight shininess to my nose a few hours after wearing it, but I do have combination skin so I would expect a bit if break through shine, however this is easily fixed with a touch up of powder.
The colour is almost perfect for my skin but now it's getting into summer I may have to start mixing the medium and light shade together to keep up with the rest of my body which I fake tan!
Smells fine, goof sized tube, and you can not go wrong with the price-I think I picked it up for $10.99 at countdown on special-BARGIN!!
Tips: Apply like a normal foundation-I like to use a fluffy foundation brush like the expert face brush from real techniques. I would like to try this with a beauty blender too-I think it would work wonderfully.
Apply a light translucent powered over t zone

Beautiful
Great BB cream. Its light weight, comfortable and it looks natural on the skin. the scent is amazing and the coverage is nice and high for a BB cream. Although i have dry skin this BB cream is still really nice as it doesn't tend to dry out my skin at all. my only wish is that the product had more colours because the lightest shade is still too dark for me.

Nice and Easy!
This is so easy to use, really good coverage even though it's a BB cream, it's a shame that there are not more shades as I have the medium and it is currently too dark for me. Though you could buy two and mix them to get the right colour.
Tips: Work fast and on one area at a time as it dries fast!

Garnier bb cream
I have a combination skin and my skin does tend to get oily around my t zone so a friend had recommended this to me but It did not work so well for me... the product is nice but I ended up having dry patches around my mouth and nose area. I would say for me the normal Garnier bb cream worked better then this one, but if you have oily skin then you should totally try it out! I didnt work for me but it just might work for you... so do try it out xx

I have been using this regularly for a year now. I use it on work days where I don't want to wear a full face of make up. It has great coverage and lasts all day. It smells lovely too.
Tips: I use this as a base when I go out - it provides the moisturiser I need and base coverage I then apply my foundation on top of this.
