Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM and the Miracle Skin Perfector BB DAILY ANTI-ACNE

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Garnier MIRACLE SKIN PERFECTOR BB CREAM and the MIRACLE SKIN PERFECTOR BB DAILY ANTI-ACNE~

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM and the Miracle Skin Perfector BB DAILY ANTI-ACNE | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have been using this Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM for about 4 years now.  It is hands down my go to every day base.  It is very easy to blend and gives light to medium coverage.  One of my favorite things about it is that as it brightens and evens out the skin it still has a very lightweight feel on the skin.

During the winter months I am super pale, so the fair/light Skin Renew shade is a great color for me right now.  During the summer I use the light/medium, and even some times by the end of the summer I am even in the medium/dark shade.  I also really like that the skin renew has a 15 spf in it.  The light medium has more of a brown under tone, while the fair/light is more of a peach undertone.

The Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM light/medium is much lighter than the Skin Renew light/medium shade.  It is so much lighter that I can wear it during the winter months even when my skin is at its palest.  I prefer the finish of this one over the Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM.  It seems to last longer throughout the day and gives better coverage overall.
