Garnier BB Cream- Review & swatch

Garnier BB cream has been pretty famous these days so I thought to give it a try. Lets see how it turned out.

The product:


Garnier BB comes in a plastic bottle (facing down :P). it comes in two varieties one for normal skin and other for combination/oily skin. The only shade I found at the store was Light/Clair so I went for it (because I wanted it badly). The other shade is medium. 





It is a miracle skin perfector by Garnier as it is a 5 in 1 product that  claims to evens out the skin tone, Hydrates the skin , renews, protects (as it has SPF 15) & Brightens.

My experience:

The cream is wheatish-white in color and has a smooth consistency unless the temperature gets too high , then it becomes watery. I live in Abbottabad so its kind of pleasant weather there most of the times. I wear this cream almost on daily bases and its been like 2 months I have it. At first it gives quite white appearance but settles downs in a minute or two. It covers pores very nicely and little blemishes. The coverage is light or medium.

The swatch:





There is this little scar on my hand after a cut above the applied cream

taddaaa!! the Garnier BB cream covers my scar MIRCULOUSLY :)

I Like:


  • the light coverage i need for everyday use.
  • the smooth glow it gives is quite natural
  • light weighing as compared to foundation etc
  • sweet smell
  • dewy finish 
  • easily available(almost all stores in pakistan have it) and quite affordable ( PKR 399/- only)

I don't like:

  • when it gets watery in hot weather
  • not much concealing power
  • in hot weather staying power is 2-3 hours so you need loose powder to make it last longer

My rating

 I give it a 4/5 because it works really nicely for students and working women :)


Have you tried it ? Do let me know how your experience was.
