Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

When choosing this product i wasnt sure which shade to choose so i chose medium, in hind sight i should've chosen light. I like the coverage it gives when applied thickerish, but i have to apply it thinly because its slightly too dark for my skin. I havent used it for long enough to know how it works on minimising pores Will definately try again making sure i chose the correct shade

I love the idea of this product but unfortunately it didn't do for me what it said it would.

Appearance- The look of the product is really nice. It's in a thin tube with a small tip.

Consistency- This product is very thin and quite runny so you need to be careful when getting it out of the tube. It isn't very easy to apply and seems quite dry and that it won't blend well.

Colour and Coverage- The colour is perfect and becomes invisible but somehow covers imperfections quite well! It definitely isn't as good as a full foundation but it does provide a nice even finish.

Smell- I didn't notice any overpowering smell when applying or during the day so that was nice.

Effectiveness- This product wasn't very moisturising for me and even with a moisturiser on underneath it was quite hard to blend. It claims to provide a matte finish but I found it to look quite shiny and after a couple of hours my face was quite oily. I tried it the next day with a powder over top and it was still shiny.

Would I recommend it? I would recommend the original BB cream as I found it better overall.

I was sceptical about using this to say the least!!!!! It seemed weird to me that moisturiser and makeup were combined. But I really liked it. I applied to my skin with no other base and found the coverage great, for those wanting a heavier coverage it probably wouldn't suit as even with a second layer its not quite enough. Perfect for me as a busy mum though who doesn't wear heaps of make up and has minimal time for my beauty regime. Would definitely use again. My skin felt nice, not greasy so yep definitely a bit of me. Thanks very much for the opportunity to review xo

The first thing i noticed about this bb cream is just how runny it is, i got far too much out the first time i used it as it just flows out so easily! I find using a very small amount, a tiny bit more than pea size is all i need to cover my face, so the bb cream is going to last quite a while if you only use a small amount like myself, even if you use it every day, and for such a decent price it is definitely worth the money. I find it quick and easy to use, takes all of 1 minute, if that to apply it and blend it in well, which is great for all the busy women out there! I have combination skin, so this is perfect for it, it gives me a fresh dewy look without looking dry or shiny in certain places, my whole face looks even and flawless. Its not so thick that my freckles still show through, something i like as all other foundations i have used cover them up and i end up looking too done up. The fact that this gives me a more natural even coverage while not hiding all my freckles, is perfect. I will definitely be recommending this to my friends.

I found this BB cream really really good! Its much more mattifying than other from this range, and I found that it lasted me through the whole day without starting to slide around on my face, or even losing its matte appearance! I was quite surprised at this as it is noticeably more liquid-y than other BB cream products from this range, but it still blends fine and does noticeably reduce uneven skin tone or redness! This product is perfect for lazy days where you don't feel like spending ages on your makeup but also don't want to look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards (which is how i usually do look without makeup) so I will definitely be using it again!!!

I had great expectations for this product, and I was wrapped to have these realised! What a fantastic product. The cream scent wasn't overpowering and was so smooth to apply. I was especially impressed with how well it covered my redness. It lasted all day amazingly as I went for a walk and did our gardening. It ticked all the boxes for me and I will definitely continue to use. It's a great product for a busy mum on the run.

I'm a 'have-to-blot-midday' kind of person with the oilyness of my skin, and the other two BB creams I've tried have actually broken me out, so I was a tad hesitant as to what this would do to my skin - but so far I'm very happy.

It's quite a light consistency compared to traditional BB creams, feels more like a runny tinted moisturiser, but goes on nicely.

Not too sure how it would go at covering any real nasties (in terms of pimples), but it evened out some redness in my skin well.

My favourite surprise with this product was that the 'light' version was not too dark for my skin! Usually when products come in light or dark, I'm lighter than light is made for. Especially in winter, this is awesome!

So I have very combination skin, (depending on the time of the month i can be very oily). I found the product to be nice and cream (although a little thin for my liking) but very easy to use.I just used my fingers. No ugly lines ect are left and is absorbed nicely. I used the bb on its own and loved the natural matte finish it gave, so didn't use any foundation. I only had to apply once and it lasted through out the day. I would definitely use it again. :)

I love this product, i have fair skin with reddish cheeks and this is a perfect product to cover,stay light and fresh feeling on the face. this BB is perfect texture to just apply like moisturizer - Pea size amount in palms and just apply to face and is super quick and easy to get perfect results. I didn't find there was much fragrance which is a good thing as it is going on the face. The coverage is amazing i swear by this product for full fresh coverage all day long. the fact it is oil free is even better and still protected with SPF15. love the packaging and is very appealing and great design to just slip into make up case or purse :). i would defiantly recommend this product i am so happy i have gone from using 4 products to achieve full day coverage to 2 BB and my loose powder with bronze tones :)

First time BB cream user! I have oily skin so I was a bit wary about using this at first. The consistency was really runny, I constantly had product in the lid of the cap and over the tip of the tube. it was very liquidly/watery and just fell out of the tube, perhaps a better tube design eg a pump the application was great, I applied with a MAC 193 brush (angled foundation brush) and buffed with a Phoenix cosmetics Kabuki brush I thought cream smelt a bit chemically, which put me off a bit but it went away quite quickly. The coverage it provided was really good, it looked more like a light foundation which was good if you’re just popping to the supermarket etc my skin felt oily to the touch about 2 hours after using the product the packaging is pretty standard, a lot of words on the packaging box the tube packaging was better. Overall I would use this product as quick go-to product, I really liked the overall look of the product on my skin and it was nice to not use a moisturizer, primer then foundation. I used this product on bare freshly washed skin and then put powder foundation over the top.
