Foundation hunting at the weekend...any recommendations for dewy??

[HRTpatch]

My least favourite shopping expedition.
I am currently using LM Candleglow in Shell which is ok but not wow.
Im 58 with good skin...oily nose.
Also pale..I think shell is slightly too dark.
Looking for a dewy finish, not matt. I dont like Chantecaille or Hourglass.

Armani luminous silk

[Greenteandchives]

Chanel Vitalumiere.
Do you have a budget, OP?

[HRTpatch]

Not at all 😀

[SchnitzelVonKrumm]

Not tried it but Delilah foundation is meant to be fab.

[seriouslystumped]

NARS sheerglow or Makeup forever?

[Eugeniesbridesmaid]

I like Touch Eclat foundation with Laura Mercier powder.

[littlepeas]

The lightest vitalumiere shade is very yellow and was too dark on me (fair skinned, but a few shades up from porcelain), so I'm not sure I'd bother with that one OP if you're very pale. My favourite is No7 Lift and Luminate - I generally don't set myself a budget for these things either, but prefer this over pricier ones I've tried.

EL Double Wear Nude Water Fresh - bears no relation whatsoever to normal Double Wear. It’s water based and dewy. They’ll happily give you a 10 day sample if you ask.

[Lunaballoon]

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. Good cover yet barely noticeable with a nice hint of dewiness.

[Figuier]

NOT Nars Sheer Glow. The worst possible name for that foundation. There's literally no glow whatsoever.

[LadyLapsang]

Chanel Vitalumiere, Armani or try Beauty Pie (online).

[Delatron]

Armani luminous silk is amazing.

Also like Laura Mercier tinted foundation.

[LadyOfTheCanyon]

Suqqu. The original foundation in the round pot with the black lid. Amazing, face changing foundation.

[BigStripeyBastard]

I like the NARS sheer glow. This is me(ignore the wild grey halo effect hair) in Sheer glow after 9 hours trolling round London and a gig at the O2. I am shade Mont Blanc. I am 40 and have very dry skin.

[HRTpatch]

Not a fan of vitalumiere.
You look fabulous bigstripeybastard

[HRTpatch]

I have LM tinted moisteriser..I think I'm inbetween shades as porcelain is too white and the next one a touch too dark.
Thank you for all your replies!

Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder.

But also get yourself some hourglass ambient lighting powder, preferably a palette so you can mix them

[WhatIsGoingOnNow]

Mac face and body - sheer but very dewy- can be built up the more you work it - fair shade available
Nars TM Original formula - sheer to light - good fair shades
C Tilbury lightwonder - light
BB Tinted balm and n a glass jar - light coverage good for especially dry skins

[HandMini]

I have MAC Waterweight. The shades are nice and it’s very easy to slap on but not sure I would highly recommend. It seems to sink into my normal/dry skin and a bit greasy as opposed to dewy.

[PerfumeIsAMessage]

I have been in search of this holy grail for years and currently the best I've tried is the N7 Lift and Luminate that pp mentioned. I mix it with a blob of el cheapo Superdrug wozzitcalled Mua? Mur? something that costs about £4 glowy thingy. It's fab. The colour is perfect on me (ivory) which is a problem I have with many other foundations.

I also have (foundation junkie alert) Chanel Perfection Lumiere, Chanel Les Beiges, Armani silk, Clinique Laser repair and Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid.

Of these, without a doubt the Maybelline is the best. It's the only foundation I repeat buy, Has you stroking your face and going "ooooooh"

Just been and looked and the glowy thingy is called MUA Undress Your Skin.

[Lottapianos]

BigStripey, you look gorgeous in that photo. What lipstick are you wearing?

OP, I tried Candleglow too and thought it was ok, not wow. No7 Instant Radiance is my new favourite.

[SchnitzelVonKrumm]

I was underwhelmed by Candleglow too.

[ChardonnaysPrettySister]

Nice lipstick Bastard.

What is it?

[heyok]

Armani luminous silk or Mac studio sculpt

[heyok]

Second hourglass powders they have changed my life!!
