Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Nude Review

I came across this in the supermarket. I haven't used a bb cream before as always have always used a foundation but having done quite a bit of work from home and not wanted to wear full make up, I have found this product great. It feels soft on the he skin without the heavy makeup feel and is great if you are wanting a light coverage

The cream is very oily and rubbed off on clothing, but offers great sun protection, and gives a beautiful glow.

I had high hopes for this BB cream - universal shade that self adjusts to your skin tone sounds too good to be true.

I have quite fair pale skin and as soon as I applied the product it was very orange based. I tried to blend it out, but it was too dark and orange. Wouldn't use it again - maybe better for darker skin tone

This bb cream is a great everyday product. Has just enough coverage for a light makeup look. Skin still looks like healthy glowing skin. I do get a bit shiney after a few hours but not as bad if is set with a powder. I like how it has a bit of spf in it. Colour matched my skin well. Applies nicely with a brush or even with your fingers if no brush available. Easy to use packaging and great price. I have repurchased this product a few times.

On face value I loved the premise of this BB cream. I loved the thought of it being self adjusting. On me however it has too much of an orange undertone. I have gone back to my previous BB cream

I received this as a substitute in one of my beauty hauls from the vault and ive been pleasantly surprised. I like the fact its the same Garnier tube, good size and a nice creamy constancy and scent. It comes out white and then as you rub it on your skin it changes colour. I find it blends in easily and gives a nude coverage, just really evens out your skin tone in my opinion. I like the fact it has added sun protection and its easy to apply. Its nice and light. Perfect for quick routines.

LOVE this BB cream. A little goes a long way. I use it on its own but also with my normal concealer for that extra cover. The first time I used it I used way too much and only need a little bit. Even though it does make my skin a bit oily I just use some powder and rhen I am all gooed to go. It is definitely lightweight and does not make your face feel caked or heavy with concealer on. Like the fact that it matches to your skin tone and looks natural and that it does not dry out my skin.

I bought a tube of Garnier Nude Effect BB Cream, even though I wasn't really a huge fan of the last Garnier BB Cream I used, which was their Anti-Ageing BB Cream, back in July 2016.  I found the Anti-Ageing one to be very greasy on my naturally oily skin, so I was very hesitant to try another Garnier BB Cream.

I'd read so many reviews on this Nude Effect BB Cream before finally purchasing a tube for myself.  Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from it, considering my past two experiences with Garnier's BB Creams, and all the reviews were very conflicting.  Some said it was greasy, others loved it; some said it was orange, others said it blended perfectly with their skin tones; and some said the smell was overpowering, while others didn't even comment on the scent.

I have to admit, after trying it for myself, this is one of the better BB Creams I've tried from Garnier, and I'm actually considering getting another tube, which says a lot!  This Nude Effect BB Cream lives up to all its promises on the box, and it doesn't have the greasy sit-on-the-skin feel that the others have had.

Firstly, a little more about the product.  The info on the box says, "The secret to perfect skin in one simple step.  Discover the secret to naturally perfect skin with new Garnier BB Nude Effect.  Self-adjusting mineral pigments adjust to match your skin tone for an effortless healthy glow.  The lightweight formula provides instant natural coverage, without the feeling of wearing any make-up."

When squeezed out of the tube and rubbed between the fingertips, the white textured cream containing a universal shade of mineral pigments begins to transform to a skin matching tone.  It's great to use on days when I have an early start and don't really have the time to apply separate layers of moisturiser, sunscreen, primer and foundation.  I simply apply the BB Cream and I'm all set to pop the rest of my make-up on.

Yes, the coverage is light, but it does even out skin tone, and I find that with a small pearl sized amount (slightly bigger than a pea), I get the perfect amount of coverage with out being too sheer.  If I use too much product, it can start to look a little orange.  This was the only trial and error during the first few days of use - figuring out exactly how much was perfect for my skin and the coverage I wanted.

It leaves my skin glowing and hydrated, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation marks, as well as other little imperfections.  The built-in SPF15 protects skin from UV rays, while still being lightweight and allowing skin to breathe.
