First let me preface this review by saying that everyone should know (any adult) that not every product will produce the same results as it does on someone else. I know this seems a rather simplistic and obvious statement to make but judging from the comments I think some women looked at "Miracle Skin Perfect or" as a statement of fact and not just a description of what the company hopes the product will do for you. Companies do in fact hope that consumers will have a positive experience with their product and buy it again and again, as well as recommend the product to others; after all there is no better advertisement than "word of mouth". With this said, I absolutely adore, adore this cream. I am late to the BB craze; I stumbled upon it by reading an article entitled "The 25 Beauty Products Every Woman Should Own". I agree with the article's author everyone should find a BB cream that suits them. I was perplexed about finding one that would suit my skin tone since I am a deep milk chocolate brown. I get compliments on my skin (in foundation) but I suffer from enlarged pores, laugh lines, and slight wrinkles under my eyes. I also have slight discoloration. I almost exclusively buy my beauty products and fragrance from Amazon but I purchased this from the Rite-Aid in Medium/Deep. I was overjoyed after I looked in the mirror. I applied a generous amount (the size of a quarter on my entire face) and I looked flawless...unbelievable! I cannot wait to wash my face now and apply it. I added a rose Christian Dior lip gloss and I looked great! I am sorry for lack of self-deprivation but I am amazed, it does what it said it would--for me! I say for the price, under $20 it is worth the gamble. You might get that "chalky" look many complain of but try another brand. I intend to splurge on an Estee Lauder BB cream when my finances allow it since they have a wide selection of colors. I hope this review will be useful.

Well first let me say wow! My sister actually bought this and I used it and now I'm going to buy my own! I actually went and bought an expensive BB cream by skin79 and was so disappointed, it made me so white and went on cakey! After that I was pretty hesitant to try the 'cheap' version how could it be any better? So I was definitely surprised when I liked it so much. It went on sooo nice I used a sponge not cakey at all, nice and even. Not patchy in the dry areas. Not orange or anything, I have the 'medium/deep' color. Matched me so good! I like that it's so light, I usually wear just some light powder or no makeup at all, I can't stand the heavy makeup feel on my skin and how cakey makeup can look. But I definitely don't have perfect skin, I just had a bad break out that left me with some icky spots and those little zits that are so annoying. This definitely covered those up enough that I felt good about my skin but didn't feel like I had this heavy layer on. I let it dry then apply some powder on top after about 20 minutes. Perfect. My skin looks nice and pretty. I actually think it stands up pretty good, I have fairly oily skin on my forehead that I always have to worry about so I did a 'test' and waited 6 hours to see how oily it got. Not very much! I just had a tiny little bit. I definitely think using a makeup sponge helps so much in applying it if your getting oily and your just using your hands or a makeup brush use a sponge instead! I've been using it about a week and i haven't broken out, my skin is extremely sensitive so I would've known very quickly if it was going to. And I will say my skin does actually look better! I definately update if it breaks me out or makes a huge improvement in my skin, but right now I'm loving it and I think I found my everyday makeup!To start off, my skin is what others call, "perfect", I rarely break out and I have very few blemishes; so makeup is only something I use to even me out a tiny bit. I don't have acne or any other skin issues other than an oily nose that gets blackheads (treated with Biore black head remover). I'm not bragging but only wanted to give a fair representation of my skin and why BB Cream make work better or worse for me than others.I only wear makeup when I go out which is probably only 3 times a week or less. I work from home and I'm a stay-at-home mom with a very limited budget for makeup and clothes so I tend to stretch them as much as I can. Therefore, I only wear it when I need to tear myself from the computer and face the real world.
My usual foundation is Cover Girl TrueBlend liquid foundation which is simply an amazing product. But, after getting a bottle of the Garnier BB Cream I haven't had a reason to use the Cover Girl! I usually just put a layer of BB Cream then I finish it with a TrueBlend pressed powder.
The BB Cream gives me full and even coverage and doesn't make me look greasy at all. I've had to experiment with the amount to use and it may vary from person to person. It seems a little goes a long way with me. When I first got it, I applied the same amount as I do the Cover Girl and it was way too much. The BB Cream is thicker so it went on extra thick and gross before I realized I only need a small amount.
As an added bonus to the even coverage, this cream also has a very pleasant smell which is something most liquid foundations lack.This is the perfect color for my difficult to match south asian skin however the downsides certainly outweigh the color match. This BB cream is greasy, has average coverage, but the worst part is that it does not dry on or sink in to the skin. It sits like a greasy layer on top of the skin and transfers to anything in site whether it's a tissue you blow your nose with, your hand as you brush your hair off your face, a new top that you're putting on over your head, or even the seatbelt in your car!
