Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

Just loved this product. The packaging great and the smell is pleasant. I prefer it to my foundation and i have tried lots of them and i think this is much better over all great price lovely coverage and applies lovely. Def a keeper in my makeup bag

Honestly, I LOVE this product! I've been using it for a couple of days now and I love the way it makes my skin look. It didn't really reduce the appearance of imperfections, but it done a fantastic job moisturizing my skin! I had no need what so ever to put on any moisturizer before I put on the BB Cream. I absolutely loved the matte finish it left my skin with too!

After using for more like a week, I have noticed that my skin is more hydrated than usual. Another bonus to this wonderful product!

In all a wonderful product and I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Skin Type: Oily T-zone, Combination skin; Medium, yellow-undertone skin Previous BB Cream: Misha This product worked really well for me - I have actually been trying to find a BB cream that did make me break-out, and a matte one at that as well - I used Misha BB Cream previously, and despite the good reviews on that, it caused my skin to look and feel terrible after using and that's why I was looking for one I could use every day.

The product packaging is really nice, and you do get quite a bit of product for the price. The only negative is that it needs to be stored on its side, rather than being able to stand vertically.

The product itself is extremely watery, which made it difficult to apply. The first time I tried it, I applied it like a moisturiser, and it was way too much. The next few times I used a synthetic brush to apply, and that was a lot more natural.

The product performs well, it feels light, when applied with a brush, and it definitely minimizes the pores on my nose - of which is very visible otherwise. It does look a little bit cakey in areas of my skin which is a bit more dry.

Usually when I use BB creams, it gets extremely oily around the T-zone in about two hours, this lasted for about 4-5 hours before I had to blot, and even then it wasn't as oily as with my previous BB cream, I could probably get away with no blotting.

The Medium shade is a little bit dark for my skin, and from some angles it looks like it has a pink under-tone, but I think in summer, when my skin becomes a little more tanned it will match well.

Overall, I would purchase this product again, and it is definitely an every day product. It looks quite natural, evens out my skintone and minimizes the pores, and doesn't have negative impact on my skin afterwards. One caveat is that I tried this product in Winter, I can't be sure how it performs in summertime when it's much hotter.

Really impressed with this BB Cream. The medium shade matched my skin really well with a nice matte finish, it wasn't thick but then it wasn't too runny to where it was making a mess and went on a breeze. I didn't have to use much to cover my entire face and used both my fingers and a foundation brush to apply it and both worked really well. When i first open the lid It had a slightly strong smell i could only describe as smelling a perfume straight from the bottle but once i had applied it the smell disappeared. I found it really good as a base for my foundation and also on its own, even without a primer it lasted all day with me getting caught in the rain, standing over big pots cooking and being blasted with steam. I like the packaging, the long thin tube fitting neatly in my make up bag and also my handbag when i'm travelling. I like that i didn't feel as if my face was caked down with make up. It did leave my skin smooth but i think it would have worked a lot better over a primer or pore filler for a more flawless look. It did do as it said and worked well with my oily skin, a lot of foundations and BB creams feel horrible after a few hours around my nose and forehead but this one didn't. I have been using it every day and It hasn't left my skin feeling dry and i haven't broken out like i do with other BB creams. As for the price it's pretty cheap compared to a lot of top named brands so i definitely wouldn't be put off about buying it again, For the results it achieves it is well worth the price.

I loved the look of this bb cream. It really did perfect my skin, the colour matched perfectly! although, my forehead did get a bit oily throughout the day and i definitely noticed the nice finish wearing off. The packaging isnt cheap feeling or looking and i love the shape of the bottle. But i also found the formula unexpectadly runny. I wouldnt even squeeze the bottle and the product would be coming out. Would buy again, great cheap bb cream for the days where you don't want to cake on your face but still have the perfect skin look!

I found out through this product I have more combination skin than oily, I found once i took it off at the end of the day my face felt tight and that I need to moisturise both morning and night (I usually just do it in the morning). Apart from this I loved the product, it left my skin looking matte rather than dewy which is how I like my foundation to look. It applies easily and smoothly and lasted most of the day wearing off around my nose at the end of the day though.

After reading everyones glowing reviews of the BB Cream I decided to finally try it! And even better - it was on sale for $16 this week at the supermarket! I found this one for oily and combination skin, which is great for me, because parts of my face get really dry (especially under my eyes and around my nose) but other parts get really shiny and oily (mainly my forehead). I also tend to get some redness on my nose and chin and this promised to help with it, so I figured 'why not?'.

The bottle is really pretty and simple, the smell is nice, but barely noticeable (which for sensitive skin is best), it was easy to apply and feels great on. The first time I tried it I followed the instructions and used it instead of moisturizer, and had it under my foundation. But after reading a couple of other reviews I used a little bit of moisturizer the next day. The results are great. It feels nice and comfortable on, it helped my foundation last longer, and my skin tone looks so much less patchy now. Love it!

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

I didn't think that i would like this product as much as i have! The liquid (and i say liquid as it is seriously runny) has so much more coverage than i was expecting. This is easy to build up to a more fuller coverage if needed, and stays put for quite a reasonable amount of time. (not all day, but a fair chunk of it.) It didn't break me out or dry out my skin, both factors i was concerned with before trying it. I found that it was easily blended onto the skin and sat nicely through out the day, never creating an oily mess. The only "downside" to the bb cream for me was that it has quite a yellow-ish tinge to it, where as my skin is more pink. Wonderful for a quick face fix, or on the go.

Firstly, my skin is mildly oily so I definitely dont want to use any products that will make it worse (and this was great!) the consistency is quite runny and at first feels quite oily however when it sets into your skin it looks dewy (wouldnt say it has a matte finish as described).

I applied it both with my fingers and with a brush - definitely preferred the finish with the brush but its wearable when applied with fingers alone. The coverage is really good for a BB cream, similar to a light-med coverage foundation, so it looks great alone for when you dont want to wear foundation, I also wore it with a bit of powder on top to extend the wear (lasts a few hours this way) and under my foundation as a base which gave my foundation a better finish and also made it last all day.

Didnt notice any smell, and the package was appealing and it retails for less than $20 so I'll definitely be buying it again.
