Stupid garnier bb cream what was I thinking?

Feeling very unattractive this week due to stinking head cold.

At a particulary low ebb today I reach, as if in a dream, for the bb cream in asda in the hope it will make me look human for our weekend away.

What an idiot I don't look human, I look like an fucking oompaloompa! [bushock]

Is there anyway to rescue it? could I add talc?

ooh is that superdrug one good, it's not too thick is it?

I use the Olay multi radiance one for dry skin, it's good. I do have the Garnier BB but wish i had got the lighter one. I have to used it mixed with my foundation, and it works well. I have quite olivey skin so it is ok i think.

I have the garnier BB one and i like it. Most foundations /tinted moisturisers look pink on me. But then im old ( so greasy isnt a problem) and pale yellow ( so the Light is a good match)

I like the Garnia BB cream, I have the light coloured one and it is a bit tanned but not too much and whats this crap about grease?

I think you lot are treating it like a foundation and trying to plaster it on, on top of moisturised skin. It's just spost to be a step up from a tinted moisturiser, wash your face and slap a thin layer on by hand to go out shopping, nothing wrong with it.

I mix superdrug vit e illuminating moisturiser with every foundation and it is really good I had some of that bb free sample and it was very orange

fridgepants you van get the Lumene products on Ebay, they do a fab serum too. Still looking for a great bb cream and will try the superdrup moist thanks noddyholder.

I have the Holika Holika bb cream from that seller on eBay, and it is really great. Absolutely nothing like any of the bb creams I've tried from this country. One of the best foundations I've tried. I've got the Holika Holika Petit BB cream, and it cost less than £6 including shipping, and arrived within a week. Better than a lot of expensive high end foundations I've tried. Have ordered some more.

I like the Garnier one but have the light one. I use it after I have cleansed and put some eye cream on, but nothing else. Not greasy, just covers minor imperfections. All fine.

I mix my BB cream with a lighter foundation. I love it!

BusinessTrills · 23/04/2012 13:03

I got a free sample of Light and quite liked the feel of it, but it was too light for me.

Have bought some medium, hope it's not going to turn out orange.

NowWeKnow · 01/05/2012 11:39

Blimey I wish I hadn't bought this. I got the light one but it's making me look awfulHmm. It's greasy and patchy and orange and is making my pores look huge and the rest of me look tired and old (well maybe I am but I thought this was supposed to make it all go away).

Waste of money.

I like the garnier bb cream. I have the light one. Much better than most tinted moisturisers I have tried and the colour is good for me.

wasabipeanut · 01/05/2012 16:22

Get the Estée Lauder one - it's bloody great. I've just got some for a friend who as just had her 1st baby and needs a pick me up. Such is my faith in its ability to make a tired, blotchy face look less scary!
