My EXperience with this

this BB cream has newly launched in pakistan by Garnier ,available in two shades only Light and Medium.I bought this in Light which compliment my fair to medium skin tone very well.The product comes in a plastic squeeze tube with a long applicator.

 The consistency  is very light and runny,not like cream but instead resemble foundation which means you have plenty of time to blend it into your skin and a small amount goes a long way. It doesn't feel cakey on skin but be careful as small amount goes long way so no need to over built  as skin will appear whitish.


ok now talk about the application of this,This BB cream when applies on face blends easily  giving  a matte finish...the finish is  complete matte so no need of compact to set it down or erase the shine...isn't it amazing...it instantly glows the face by covering the minor imperfection and reducing the pore size(yes it does make pore appear smaller) .
It gives light to medium coverage but it can be built.It just act like foundation,hide minor imperfections but have to use concealer for dark circles or  major blemishes.It has additional sun protection factor..ok the claim that it moisturizes the skin is not true.if you have some really dry patches on skin make sure to moisturize them before applying it.



 The shine appears on  my T-zone after 3 hours of application mostly so what i do is...i erase the shine with the help of Rimmel stay matte powder(soon to be reviewed)and again i am shine free for 3 hours...ahh finally i got something to reduce my shine.
 It gives a glow to face which looks natural and also surprisingly my pores look smaller with this(you can see the swatch picture for this)....It stayed on my face for 5-6 hours without primer..this really is miracle for me..i love the coverage it gives to my face.overall it' s steal for the price...i am using it everyday instead of my foundations.no clogging of pores  until now ..Don't expect that it will fade your marks or the pores will reduced forever, no,it is only to cover the imperfections.overall i am happy with it and using it on daily basis instead of my foundation as i don't want heavy coverage in day time so this is perfect for me....as the summer is approaching so this is the right type of thing in my stash.

Reasons to have  this

• want a matte finish
• you like light to medium coverage
• want to get rid of compact powder
• you are on budget
