Review: Garnier BB cream + Kevin BeautyMaker BB cream

Kevin BeautyMaker BB cream + Garnier BB cream (light)
 Hey guys,
As always this is my personal review and it might work differently to others. I have oily ~ normal skin and my skin is very fair. So here we go ^^
I purchased these 2 BB creams a while back, and don't like either of them.
The Garnier BB cream is the first BB cream from the Western market. For its first go, I would say they did "okay". The BB cream is very thick when applied so a big "No NO" for oily skin. Also the color selection is horrible. I got the one in light and its more on the medium side, when applied it made me look 3 shades darker (like Snookie, okay maybe not soo dark).
Kevin BeautyMaker on the over hand feels a lot better on my skin, its not as thick and it controls oil pretty well. When first out of the tube is a pink light cream with little pink dots, it then turns to skin color when blended.

Coverage wise, I would say the Garnier and Kevin BeautyMaker is medium. You guys can see it dose cover the blue veins on my hands.
Ganier is very much on the brownie bronze side, where as BeautyMaker is more on the cooler pink side (it looks orange in the pic, but in RL it leans on the pink.
Both BB creams don't match me skin tone because one is too tan looking (Garnier) and the other is too pink (Kevin).

 I would recommend the Garnier BB cream to those with slightly drier skin and with MAC NW 25 or 30. The Kevin BeautyMaker will be great for those with oily skin and with NC 30 skin tone.

 After about a few hours of wear: Garnier got oily really fast and it also oxidized (which is not a good look). Kevin BeautyMaker on the other hand stayed on the healthy glowy side, I didn't have to blot because there was no excess oil and it didn't oxidize.

 From the photos Kevin BeautyMaker has more oil content, which I think contributes to its easy blend-ability. Also Kevin is more liquid in consistency, Garnier on the other hand is more thick.
When applied Garnier feels like it just sits on the skin, so it feels kind of unnatural, where as Kevin feels a lot more light and breathable.

From reading this, you guys probably know I prefer the Kevin BeautyMaker over the Garnier. I think the Western market still need to experiment with formulas to achieve the fantastic qualities of BB cream.
