Today I am reviewing one of my every day products, Garnier BB cream for oily/combination skin!
I'd like to start out by saying I have tried Many Asian BB creams including skin 79, lioele and etude house and while I wouldn't say I hated them... I found most of them were either too Grey, too thick, felt too gross on my skin or were just plain expensive and hard to get. Garnier BB cream for oily/combination skin however, is none of the above. I use the light shade every day instead of foundation and find that it is perfect for me! The coverage is decent but acne prone girls would probably require some concealer underneath (no biggie!) I have VERY oily skin and although this does get oily by the end of the day, it holds up MUCH longer than any other BB cream or foundation I've tried (:
I find it is best applied with a flat top brush and 'buffed' into the face, it can be layered for fuller coverage too and won't feel cakey at all! I set it with powder too for even more oil control ;)
To sum it up, here are the pros and cons!..
Pros
- Medium coverage
- Decent oil control
- Thin consistency/easy to blend
- Matte finish
- Dries quickly
- Doesn't clog pores
- Feels undetectable once dry
- Easy to find (chemist, target etc)
- Super cheap! About $12 for 40ml tube
- Comes in 3 shades
- Can be layered without caking
- Contains alcohol
- Not very moisturizing
- Can be a bit messy
- Lightest shade may be a little dark for SUPER pale girls
