My Thoughts About It :

Its not the first BB cream that I have tried . Yes you heard me right ! I tried Ponds BB cream in the first place because I was afraid to try Garnier one as people were claiming its a big NO for oily/combo skin . But that's not TRUE .. at least not in my case ... After using Ponds BB cream , i knew i need to try the Garnier one . Why ? well for that you have to wait for my review on that which is coming soon as well ;)

Lots and lots of travelling between Lhr-Isl-Murree makes my skin less oily (more tanned) . I guess from super oily skin now i am having oily/comb one. Also i cant really apply foundation and all on daily basis but still i want something that can give me some coverage while giving me that glowing look. SO i decided to try the famous Garnier’s BB Cream “30-second miracle perfector”!. While i was getting one for myself , my Elder sister was looking for something for the exact same reasons . So this time , i put her on this test n trial period with me :) will share the reviews individually ...

Garnier’s BB Cream comes in a squeeze tube .The consistency is runny which really can create a big mess if not handled properly. But on the other hand , this running consistency makes it super duper easy to apply . I have applied it with my sanitised fingers and with Sigma F 80 , both ways it glides over the skin flawlessly . Its not drying at all and absorbs into my skin in no time . It was like next to my original skin just slightly hiding all the imperfections.

Yes it does not give you a complete coverage . You definitely need a good concealer or light base to hide any imperfections on your face like dark circles , acne scars or spots. Though it even out my skin tone and reduced the redness around my nose very well . For people having some major skin issues , I can say that it can definitely minimise the quantity of your foundation you used to apply if you pair it with Garnier BB cream .

Now the question is does it help to control or minimise the oil on my face . Yes it does . It gives me that dewy glow for quite good hours without making my skin oily or shiny during winter season . After 6 hrs , my t-zone was slightly shiny which could be rescued easily with some powder or blotting sheets.

My elder sister ( who is almost 10 years elder then me , mother of two teenagers , having normal skin which tends to become slightly oily during summers without having any major skin issues) loves the way it appears on her skin . According to her , its easy to use , feels light on skin , did not oxidise and leaves the skin dry perfectly moisturises and minimises the appearance of pores . She loves it as it does save her from applying tons of products for the dewy , healthy glow . And its Affordable !

Garnier claims are right :

It does give give that luminous matte finish

Make pores less visible

To some extent , minimise imperfections like redness , spots , acne marks etc
