Dupe it or Ditch it? Smashbox VS Garnier

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream VS Garnier BB Cream Combination/Oily Skin

Price:      Garnier: 12.99                      Smashbox: $39.00

         

First Glance: Both products come in a squeeze tube. The shades pictured Smashbox light and Garnier light/medium.

Size: The Smashbox has 1 fluid oz and the Garnier has 2.0 oz. 

Texture: Both have very light-weight feeling, much like a moisturizer. They both have a dewy finish on the skin.  The Smashbox is a tad thicker, but when blended you cannot tell. 

Coverage: They are both light coverage, but the Garnier has slightly more coverage when applied, and it is buildable. Keep in mind these are NOT full coverage. The Garnier can be built up to a light/medium coverage. 

    

Wear Time: They both wear about 7-8 hours. 

Color Swatch:  

Blended out: 

Verdict: Dupe it ! These products may look different swatched side by side, but when blended out they look the exact same! However, the Garnier BB cream only comes in three shades, which can be a major problem if you are any lighter or darker than me. The Smashbox has a larger range of colors.
