Just as the title says, thanks :D

In particular, I'm a perspective buyer of Garnier BB Cream or 17 BB Cream so do you recommend me of any?

I've got the Garnier BB cream. It's nice to use, goes on easily and has a pleasant smell, but it's no miracle worker. For me, I only wear it on "no make-up" days and usually with some concealer. If I'm going out, I use foundation because I want more coverage. I do like the product though and have nearly used it up, it just can't replace foundation for me. Hope that helped!

I agree with Gemma W, it is a nice product and gives a nice glow but I have acne and very oily skin so it's just not enough coverage for me and would definitely slide off my face in the summer.

I actually love a different brand it's the Skin79 brand. I really don't think any companies here in the state have come close to how great Asian brand BB Creams are. I use the Triple Functions which is typically for dry skin but I love how it applies and it matches my skin perfectly.

I use missha's bb cream in shade 27... Great coverage, but it doesn't do much for oil control. I mix it with my foundation in the winter for SPF coverage. It's a pain to get off on its own though. Still love my MUFE HD, and not super sold on BB creams 100%, but I see great opportunity for these type of products expanding.

I use Missha's perfect cover bb cream in shade 21 and I love it! It has fab coverage and its a great match for my pale skin. =] I just use a decent setting powder with it and i'm good to go!

Whenever I use BB creams I have to use a primer beforehand because they can be pretty heavy on my skin and clog my pores. That being said I think they offer great coverage and it's wonderful that they're becoming more widely available in the US. I'd also recommend a powder to set if you want it to last a little longer.

I've tried Missha Perfect Cover #21 (first one I ever tried) and Missha Cho Bo Yang BB cream, the latter having better coverage and oxidation for me. I've also used Elishacoy (which was alright, not great coverage), Nanoce (didn't like this at all), ORIKS (very good and light.) I'm currently using Etude House Precious Minerals BB cream and I love it a lot. It's pretty safe to say I am a huge BB cream addict.

I really like the Garnier one! It evens evens out my skin tone and covers my redness really well, and it gives a nice glow. It's also light, you can't feel it on your skin. For everyday I just use the bb cream, maybe some concealer if I have any spots, and powder. It gives a really natural look :)
