I’ve been using the Garnier BB Cream in light for almost a month now. What made me get it in the first place was how impressed I was with the swatch I did. It surprisingly had some coverage for a product that includes moisturizer. I wanted something for a quick everyday fix just to even out my skin tone, so I purchased the product.
Packaging:
I like the packaging because it is a squeeze tube rather than one that you have to pour product out or remove from a jar. I prefer it because this way the product stays sanitary and less messy.
Coverage:
It is light, yet buildable, coverage. It is simply meant to even your skin tone out. If you’re looking for a product that is going to cover scars, blemishes, and so on, then this is not for you. It will just simply give you an even and natural base to your skin tone. If you do need heavier coverage in certain areas you can just apply concealer along with it.
Scent:
The smell of it is tolerable, however I am not too much of a fan of fragrance products on my skin. You can only really smell it when you’re applying the cream, but it fades quickly after.
Does it last?
This product is VERY movable. What I mean by this is if you are sweating or wetting your face (like brushing your teeth or washing off lipstick), you will begin to notice the foundation separating in those areas. Even used with primer, this still occurs. This is the main con that I have about the BB cream. Other than that, it works just fine and I prefer the slightly dewy finish it leaves. To further help the product stay put, I set it with powder.
So, what do I think overall about the product? I think it’s good to have for days that I wear natural makeup or when I do not have time to apply my moisturizer and SPF. My main concern is an even skin tone and this is why the product works for me, personally.
I love this product! It evens my skin tone and I love that I dont have to wear foundation in the hot, humid summer weather. I was nervous about it having SPF in it because SPF on my face always makes my eyes water, they didnt water using this product. Its awesome!
I really wanted to like this product but I didn’t like the color selection and the way it moved. It felt great and I liked the way my skin looked but it was just the way wrong color. I ended up trying different brands and now use the Origins one which I REALLY love
Sorry to say but i had negative review about this product, because i had tried the face wash for this which is the most worst i had ever seen. This brand had wast lots of money for their advertisement, i think it will be better for this brand to waste it for their purification of their products which would be i think much better.
Thats fine Lily, everyone’s skin types and concerns are all different. For my skin type specifically and what I was looking for, this product worked for me and that’s why I had a positive opinion towards it. However, it isn’t meant to be for everyone, but remember that their face wash and their BB cream are two completely different products.
