Beauty Balm users...quick question!

Last night I bought some Garnier BB (Beauty Balm) at Target after reading about it some magazines. It only came in 2 colors and I bought Fair/Light. Are you supposed to wear this under your regular foundation? Or do you wear it alone?

    You can do either!  I'm hoping the Clinique BB I bought yesterday will have enough coverage that I can get away with no foundation.  Basically, I plan to use it like a tinted moisturizer.  However, if you need more coverage, you also can use the BB as a primer and put foundation on top.

    It's supposed to be worn alone for a lighter coverage. It's supposed to be inbetween a tinted moisturizer and foundation. I've worn it alone and at first I liked it, but as the day went on it made my face look dirty. So I'm gonna try it again this weekend and make my final thoughts.

    I got Smashbox's yesterday and I am planning to wear it alone for days I just want light makeup.  I had it on yesterday and it held up pretty well and didn't flake like some foundations do on me when it is hot and humid.

    I use it as a tinted moisturizer and then lightly dust finishing powder over it. I have the light/medium shade and the color seemed a little gray for my skin tone, so I mix it with my Aveeno TM which matches my coloring better:)

    I've been wearing it alone (on day 2 of the Garnier).  I've used the Smashbox too and some days when I want more coverage I put a thin layer of mineral foundation over it.
