Anyone with melasma? What foundation do you use to cover it up?

I’m in perimenopause and mine is getting worse.
It’s on my forehead and cheeks.
I hate it, it makes me feel like I look dirty on my face!
As I’m pale (ish) it’s quite noticeable with just my tinted moisturiser so I am going to have to move on to a foundation or something with more coverage.
I need a good coverage but nothing too thick and cakey though as I’ve never been one for an over made up look
Any suggestions?

Double Wear is what you need, applied with a buffer brush not a flat foundation brush. Get properly matched as the wrong colour can look heavy .

I have this on my jawline but admittedly it doesn’t really bother me so I’m not one for wearing foundation on a regular basis anyway.
I hate the feeling of a thicker total coverage foundation on my face as it itches like mad and sits in my creases!
When I do need something extra, I have a cheap w7 liquid one I found in b and m. It’s lightweight, blends in well provides enough coverage to hide the pigmentation. Best of all it doesn’t itch.
