I purchased the light to medium and the color is good for me, it does not have pink undertones, it has undertones on the warmer side. I have very dry skin and usually have a problem with any foundation in the winter for this reason, this gives me extra moisture and it has medium coverage, it definitely improves the look of your skin. I would not purchse this brand of bb cream if you have oily skin.

Got the wrong colour, medium is defiantly medium. If your skin is fair/ not tanned get light! I like the smell, and this BB cream is hydrating therefore is unsuitable for oily skin and better for use in the winter for normal/combination and dry skin types. I have to mix mine with foundation to get the right colour so i can use it.

Not a big fan of this BB cream... It was too shimmery for me. I am very fair and this just did not look good on me. I think I used it twice and just couldn't bring myself to again because I felt like the color was so off and obvious. I will keep looking for a better BB cream. I am sure for darker skin tones it works just perfect. My main problem was with the shade. The lightest one seemed a little orange and did not match up right.

First of all, I have become a BB cream addict. I have only been using the drugstore brands and this is my third. THE SMELL IS AMAZING. its like white tea and ginger and thats always been my favorite. I have dry skin in the winter, also acne prone. its moisturizing and blurs blemishes nicely. its a little dark for me but it sort of makes a suntan look. as i use it more I will update. maybe change the rating. only had it one day.

EDIT: it is too dark for me, and i can feel it on my face all day. basically i love the smell, but its not for me.

This product made my face look like I poured grease all over it! Blechhh I am never using this stuff again. If you have oily skin, I really recommend that you DONT GET THIS. It's completely not worth even trying. This also gave me an orange tint which I didnt think was very pleasant. I couldn't wait to wash this crap off my face. The packaging is pretty good, but the overall product sucked. I only used it once and I am never using it again. RETURNING.

I usually wear Bare Minerals during the summer, but winter dries my skin out and the loose powder seems to only make that more noticeable. SO happy I found Garnier BB Cream! This product moisturizes, offers sheer coverage, and my husband loves the scent! An added bonus is that it doesn't settle into fine lines/wrinkles like other products I've tried in the past. Will definitely be purchasing again.

So my overall rating of this product is a 4, and here's why...

First BB cream i have used, and I am very pleased with the results. You normally use moisturizer under your face products, no? And initially this is what I did before using this BB cream (even though it claims to hydrate, I have very dry skin in the winter time and thought best to use moisturizer before the BB cream) BAD IDEA! I have read some reviews about this product being greasy, and I'm thinking maybe other users have made this same mistake. Once the moisturizer was washed off and I started with a clean slate, the BB cream looked SO much better! It is true to word and does moisturize, does not enhance dry patches. It definitely gave my face a smoother, even tone to it.

I have also read some bad reviews on the smell, however, I happen to like the fragrance of it, so that's not an issue.

As this is not a foundation, I knew it wasn't going to completely conceal ALL blemishes, but it does get rid of the redness and as the packaging says, it does"blur" the blemishes. I have some dark acne scars, so thats always an issue with any product I use, but I can say that I do feel comfortable enough in just wearing the BB cream to not let the acne scars bother me when I go out.

I can say that a little goes a long way. It feels pretty thick when first putting it on, but as you blend it, it has a very nice silky feel to it.

Packaging quality is OK, nothing special about it. But that obviously didn't deter me from buying it.

The price was OK as well. Wasn't too expensive (around $12 at Target).

Overall, I do like this product and probably will buy again. Definitely need a break from heavy foundation use.

Never thought much of B.B. creams till I bought this... I got more compliments for my skin and complexion using this than I ever did using foundation or any sort of make up. It really brightened up my face, had even coverage, moisturized, covered up brown marks and dull spots, and never made me break out, nor clogged my pores. Only downside was that the effect doesn't last the whole day- but since its not a long wearing foundation I never really expected it to. all in all, a great product for a great price!!!

This is the first bb cream I've tried and it was NOT for me. I have oily skin but I figured because it's winter now it would be okay but it definitely was not.

Pros
-Packaging is good and portable
-Has SPF
-Applies really nicely, the perfect amount of coverage I was looking for, just needed a little extra concealer under the eyes.

Cons
-Very limited color range and runs orange
-Makes me oily within the hour
-Using a primer helps with oil control but if I were going to apply a primer I could just as easily apply my regular foundation!
-Broke me out...my skin had been improving a lot thanks to various factors but after three days of using this I have 2 cystic acne spots and a whitehead (I NEVER get whiteheads!)

If you have dry, warm toned skin, this would probably work for you. Otherwise, steer clear. My friend with combo skin had the same issue as me. I'll be looking elsewhere.

I was generally pleased with Garnier BB Cream. It definitely blurred my freckles and evened my skin tone. My only hang-ups about it is 1. the fragrance is OBNOXIOUS and overwhelming. 2. it felt a tad sticky, or perhaps heavy, within the first hour of application. 3. there are only 2 shades available. I would NOT recommend this product if you are prone to oily skin, it will melt right off your face. I have very dry skin in the winter, so it suited me well.

This stuff was not meant for me. It made me orange and it was splotchy and just over all did not give enough of a nice finish for me to even use it occasionally. After a while I would have dry spots that the bb cream would cling to and exaggerate, and then other spots where there would be no foundation at all. It did apply nicely and looked ok for the first 5 minutes of wear. The colour "light" was also far too dark for my nw15ish skin.

This product seemed nice on the shelf but when I brought it home and used it was a different story. Once I put this on I immediately noticed that my skin was very oily, and even after going through my makeup routine I had to wipe down areas of my face. Also, it seemed too dark for my very light skin tone.

I like this product but i dont LOVE it. The consistency of this product is very thick but glides on very easily. there is no enough color though. This is the first ever BB cream that I owned. It doesnt cover blemishes.its very sheer. and can feel a little bit heavy. The feeling of, yes u can smell that u have something on ur face makes u feel that the cream is heavy? and it transfer easily to ur shirt. It has nothing to do for what is has claimed for like invisible imperfections or what not.
However i dont regret buying this product its great for everyday tinted moisturizer if you just dont feel like putting on make up.

This was the first BB Creme I ever purchased and I honestly hated it. After experimenting with other BB Cremes ranging from dirt cheap to high end, I can honestly say this is the worst one I have ever used.
PRICE
The price for this product is £11 (or $17) which seems pretty hefty for a drugstore product especially considering there a lot better BB Cremes out there for a cheaper price.
PACKAGING
There's nothing to really say about the packaging, it is a squeeze bottle that often clogged with me.
COLOUR
The colour range of this product is absolutely atrocious, all of the shades seem to be some obscure shade of orange as an undertone that leaves you with a horrible seam between the makeup and your skin no matter how much you blend.
FINISH
I hated the finish to this product as it was incredibly dewy, with or without powder this product always feels wet on your face and never seems to dry, it transfers incredibly easily. This broke me out multiple times.
OVERALL THOUGHTS
This product is a total train wreck, there are no skin benefits that it promises. I'd would rather smear my face in butter than use this product again. Butter would probably work better.

A must have! I am totally in love with this product. I cant understand the negative reviews as this is a Beauty Balm..not a foundation, its not going to give you full coverage. My skin is pretty decent, just abit uneven sking tone, large pores and undereye bags. The Garnier BB cream fixes all the above problems with the exception of underyeyes, i have to use a concealer there. Overall for the price it does its job! It blurs imperfections and looks like my skin...The apckaging is great as well. My only Con would be that it leaves a somewhat sticky residue behind and a slight white cast, also can get oily but i have oily skin and can deal with the cons, great product, will definately purchase again.
Edit. This works well in Winter, too greasy for summer

A staple in my make up bag. The cream is of a nice thick consistency, a little goes a long way and it blends really well. It smells fresh and citrusy like all Garnier products, and is really pleasant to put on.
The coverage is just enough to even out skintone and not look like you're wearing something on your skin. It moisturises very well and has SPF which makes it great under make up for those that are put off by conventional greasy/ opaque white sunscreens on the face.

I like to apply this product to freshly cleansed skin, with a bit of concealer under the eyes for a very natural and glowy look. It's a great way to "detox" from heavy foundations, and great for day time wear on weekends!

This product has been very good to me! Blends nicely and doesn't make me oily. Although my skin tone is more on the medium side rather than fair....I should have bought the fair-medium instead of the medium-dark. This product has a lot of yellow in it...so I wouldn't recommend it to someone with very fair skin. My skin feels hydrated and looks brighter.

I have very oily and sensitive skin. I bought the BB cream because a friend recommended it. Its not the best product for oily skin. 2 days after usage my face was covered wit whiteheads and massive breakouts.
It provides very less coverage on my medium colored skin and it has an irritating conditioner like fragrance as well. Very unhappy at the moment. Have to take a medicine to get rid of the zits.

Firstly I will say that this product left my skin feeling greasy after a few hours, but I'm guessing this is down to my skin being combination/oily so I will purchase the Oil-Free version next time. That is the only bad thing.
When I first put it on my hand to apply I thought wooow this is going to be way too dark but it turns out fine with proper blending and making sure you blend into your neck because it is slightly darker but not too obvious (I used light). It matches my skin tone really well!

It brightened my complexion, slightly helps dark circles, makes my face definitely look more flawless but in a natural way and is a good product to buy if you don't want to spend too much time messing about with your skincare and make-up routine because it's an all rounder.

Just make sure you get the right one for your skin type.

I have acne prone, oily skin. I found this product very greasy & gave my face no coverage. Made my face look very shiny, blotchy, orange. It done nothing for my skin. Would not recommend this to anyone.
