Garnier BB Cream Original Light Tinted Moisturiser 50ml

Excellent tint and moisturiser in one, went on smoothly and streak free, more lighter on the skin than most foundations which also meant it stayed on even with my face mask over the top, feels very natural and I do see a nice glow after applying. I won’t be using anything else from now on much better for my skin type which is quite dry, I love this BB cream.

A few years ago, my skin decided to get all awkward on me. I had lots of flaking and blotchiness, and buying foundation suddenly became a nightmare; nothing seemed right. I tried so many brands before finally sticking to (of all things) Leichner, believing that in my case simple was best. What I really liked about Leichner was the fact it seemed to be the only foundation out there that didn't leave my skin flaky and dry. The downsides were that it was slightly too greasy with moisturiser, and far too cakey and heavy without, but I put up with these shortcomings because I couldn't find a better alternative.Well, at last I think I've found one. Nowadays I just want my skin to appear natural, and this cream definitely ticks that box. It's still simple, but unlike Leichner, it isn't too greasy or dry and covers just enough; it's as efficient as some foundations without looking as obvious as most of them. It also blends beautifully (just slap it on any old how in a hurry -- you can't go wrong!) and has a lovely fresh, green type of fragrance. I was accidentally sent a Light shade instead of the Medium I ordered, but this turned out to be a fortunate mistake as the lighter shade is perfect for my pale olive skin; it matches exactly. If you want a more bronzed appearance, then just go with your usual shade. I should also mention that I use a little moisturiser with this cream, as my cheeks get insanely dry in the cold weather, but I could probably do without it come the summer. Actually, I'm looking forward to enjoying the warmer weather without the make-up melting off of my face!02/11/12: Didn't need any additional moisturiser this summer and my skin felt soft, nourished and definitely not greasy! I have very dry skin and this is a small miracle as far as I'm concerned, so I would thoroughly recommend this product to others with the same problem. Also -- and I don't know if this is just a coincidence -- but many people have estimated my age at around five to seven years younger than I am since I started using this cream! They think I'm mid-20's, when I'm actually early 30's. Some of them have even believed me to be completely line-free, which I'm not. So whether this is really a BB cream or an inferior imitation, I reckon it creates a rather good illusion for its £7.50 price tag.

I’m not much of a make up wearer but wanted to have a bit of coverage for days I was feeling particularly rough! It’s a really nice product that did just the right amount of natural moisturising and coverage. Reasonable price for what you get as you only need to use it sparingly. I’ll definitely be buying again when it runs out.

I like this product, and I am surprised to say so since I generally do not find skin products that work for me, even when others recite the hype about them! It looks scary as you put it on because it is quite orangey... however, it blends on to your skin very well and does not at all look like you've done a bad job with some foundation cream. It does not cover spots as well as foundation but it does help, and it does not seem to cause spots for me like foundation does. It does add a little colour to my pale face, evens my skin tone, and makes me look more radiant. It feels light and I particularly like wearing it in situations where I can not be bothered to re-apply makeup (e.g. post-gym, or for an only-in-the-office day) - it gives me a little more confidence when my complexion is bad. I will buy this again, although next time I might try the oil-free version just to compare.

first ill start with the pros, it covers well, evens out un even skin tones, hides spots (not large ones) and it feels like your not wearing any makeup. cons, after using it for a week i started to notice a small patch of red lumpy skin on my chin. i stopped using it and it went away. carried on using it and it hasnt come back, maybe it wasnt the creme, but i think it was, i just think i put to much on. make sure you take it off after 6 hours or your face gets a bit ichy. would reccomend to people with rather good skin, that just want something on to give you a glow.

I was looking for a daytime moisturiser and came across BB cream and thought it would be a good option.The bottle is bigger than I thought it would be, and you only need to use a little bit so it will last! I was unsure whether to buy light/medium but decided to go for light hoping it wouldn't be too pale but it was darker than I thought it would be, so glad I opted for the lighter shade!Seems to give a good even coverage but takes a minute to rub it in properly so it's not patchy. Gives me a nice glow for during the day and not as heavy as foundation although I can feel it on my skin too so not ultra light but for the price it's great, also has spf15 which is a nice touch!

As a person with terribly dry, easily irritated and sensitive skin I'll admit, I was sceptical. When I first opened the sachet (got the free sample, still waiting for the one I ordered from these buggers!) I was initially horrified by the darkness of it. I'm naturally blonde and have the not so wonderful pale skin tone that accompanies it!After applying it and blending it in, which was remarkably easy, I left it a good 10 minutes to "settle in". I was absolutely amazed when I checked again, it was flawless! Beautiful even coverage, hid my uneven bits and felt silky smooth for hours after! I'm so impressed with this blemish balm, I've thrown out all my old foundation and am eagerly awaiting this to come through my door!So, if you're sceptical look out for a free sample before parting with your dosh, as it's not mega cheap, but I almost bet you'll love it as much as me :)Oh, I'd probably look for another seller on here than these, they take FOREVER!
