Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector For Normal Skin vs Oily Skin : Comparison & Swatches

When I mentioned Garnier BB cream for oily skin in my summer essentials post last month, few of my readers asked me on facebook how different it is from the original Garnier BB cream. So I thought it would be beneficial for all my readers if I compare it on my blog.

Garnier BB cream miracle skin perfector : original vs oil free

Packaging:
Both versions comes in squeeze tubes. The difference is in their appearance. The oil free one is slimmer and taller than the original one. Also I noticed that original have 50 ml of product in it, and oil free has 40 ml product. The original comes with a flip open cap where oil free has a twist open cap which creates more mess as the product inside is runny and sometimes it just pour out of it on its own.

Formula:
Garnier BB cream for oily skin has a thin, runny and more watery formula. It blends completely in a jiffy so you have to be quick otherwise it leaves certain patches on skin. It does not feel sticky on skin. On the other hand , the other one has a creamy consistency and looks more like a cream foundation to me. It gives a dewy finish which I love. I set it off by applying a matte transculant powder on it.

Coverage:
 Both have SPF in it. Both provides light to medium coverage and conceals uneven skin tone, scars etc partially. If you want more coverage you can set it off with your favorite compact powder.


I first bought the oil free one in shade MEDIUM , but it is darker than my skin tone. It has peach undertones. The shade LIGHT is perfect for my skin tone. I sometimes mix  both of them to achieve a semi matte finish or use the bb cream for normal skin alone and set it off with makeup fixing powder. Both of them looks very natural and does not gives you a made up look. Here are the swatches. The top one is oil free and bottom one is for normal skin.

My Favorite ?
I have oily skin but I love the medium coverage that I get from Garnier BB cream for normal skin. It gives such a healthy glow or you say dewy finish. I use makeup setting powder on it and it stay put on me for whole day. I just need to re touch my oily T zone area few times. I guess I love it more than the oily free formula.

My ratings :
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector For Oily Skin : 4.5 out of 5
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector For Normal Skin 3.5 out of 5

Both are available nationwide for price range 399 to 425
