BB Cream Original Reviews

This is one of the first western bb creams I've tried. I was disappointed by the level of coverage of this bb cream. It is very light but I find that the consistency was good - almost like applying a lotion. I like the dewy look on my skin and it worked well with my normal to dry skin. However I did get a bit oily on my T-zone at the end of the day, but it didn't really bother me. As the coverage was really low, I apply this before I apply my foundation. This bb cream keeps my foundation looking dewy without any dry patches throughout the day. This bb cream comes in 2 shades - light or medium. I chose medium which suited my skin tone well.
I recommend this for people with dry skin. I wouldn't recommend this for people with oily or acne prone skin.

This bb has okay coverage but the consistency is NOT okay. It literally clung onto my dry patches and accentuated the pores on my nose. (sobs) It made me break out like crazy and tiny bumps appeared on my cheekbones. Everyone seems to love this product and I don't know why. I guess my skin is ultrasensitive. Just try it...I reckon this product drastically varies on individuals.

I like this product, its light weight and good for when you want light coverage, possibly on one of those days where your skin is being nice to you!

Having oily skin I usually avoid dewy finishes, and although this is a dewy finish BB cream I do feel like its bearably dewy. I do have to apply powder on top through for oil control.

Overall its a decent BB cream, not the best ive tried (I prefer my Maybelline dream pure) but definitely not one to pass up if you like a light coverage dewy finish.

I didn't like this product. I received a sample sachet and I was quite disappointed.

The formula was too thick, even thicker than foundation consistency, there was a shimmer/shine that made my skin look like I packed on shimmery bronzer and I looked like an oompa loompa. There isn't a good range of versatile shades, the light was too light for my skin and the darker/medium was too dark.

It accentuated my large pores and any other imperfections on my face. When I had dry skin around my nose or after cleansing, it magnified that problem and looked very cakey.

I don't recommend this for people with major skin problems, dry skin, large pores or very oily skin. It seems to be for people with minor flaws or blemishes.

Garnier BB cream comes in 40 ml tube packing with box. The light shade was perfect for me but it will be little bit dark for Caucasian girls. It has creamy velvety texture. I needed to squeeze more than pea size amount to cover entire face. It is highly fragranced, even I could smell its fragrance after its application. I gave me light coverage with illuminating effect. My skin felt hydrated, soft and fresh. I did not highlight dry areas of my skin and did not settle into my pore and fine lines.
I used face powder over it to complete my look. Garnier BB cream and pressed power give me flawless natural look(as I always like natural look). It had decent staying power, on my face it last for 4-6 hours with compact powder. It did not cause break out and any other reaction. I was very satisfied with this product

So, as one of the first BB creams to come out in Aus, I instantly bought a tube. It purports itself as a 24 hour moisturiser, that it will even out tone, correct blemishes, boost a healthy glow, and has a low SPF. Also, it's economically priced.

For me, it offers basic moisture (I have to put something on underneath to ensure I'm appropriately moisturised; I work in air conditioning), and it definitely evens out my overall skin tone (although seasonally the colour can be a bit too much when I'm in a winter fade). That being said, I'm not so sold on the correct blemishes part; I definitely have to add in concealer should I have a spot.

This was my first try of a BB cream, and I won't be rushing to try another. I used the product once, and then threw it in the bin - very unusual for a thrifty person like me. Lucky I got it on special. The light shade was too light for me, but because I had tested it on my hand in store, I now know that my hands are paler than my face! The product went on smoothly enough, but it made the pores on my chin look as though they had been filled with gunk. Not the look I am going for.

I bought this product when it first came out as it was the only BB cream on the market in Australia at the time. I found it really average. It didn't smooth evenly on my skin and after wearing for just 10 minutes my skin was look patchy and like I rubbed dirt on my face. I chucked it out and went back to foundation. I decided to try it again recently and it was not any better. There is not enough selection of colours and all the colours I tried seemed wrong. The only way I can use this product is mixed in with a foundation for a dewy look, it looks terrible worn alone. Would not recommend at all, not worth the money and makes your skin look worse, definitely not perfect like the product describes. I would recommend Ponds or Maybelline Dream Fresh over this product.

This is the first BB cream I have tried and I really like it. It has have nice light coverage and the smoothness of my skin. However I have found that now I am at the end of my tube that my face is getting a oily shine during the day, which I do not normally get and am having to use power over the top. I would also prefer a higher SPF, but would still happily buy this product again.
