Light weight foundation

Hello,

I'm looked for recommendations for a light tinted moisturizer or foundation.
I have dry skin and want something that doesn't make my skin looks dry and goes into all the cracks etc

Thanks 😊

Erborian, their CC cream, high definition radiance skin perfector is amazing. It smooths everything out, gives a lovely glow, without being heavy. I use clair which is a pretty light shade. I would always use moisturiser before it though, I don’t feel it’s meant to go straight onto skin.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. It is one of the few brands that doesn't go orange on me.

Boots Intelligent Colour foundation has a lovely light texture, but even the lightest shade is too dark for me, so I only wear it in summer.

Sculpted by Aimee Hydra Tint. Makes my skin look alive any time I wear it. I've given up wearing foundation because of it.

I was coming on to say this. It’s an amazing product!

Lumene cc cream. It’s light, hydrating and gives good enough cover for the redness in my cheeks. I get it in boots.

Another vote for Erborian cc crème. I have dry skin too. Some vitamin c oil first then the cc creme - awesome.

Brilliant thread. does the Erborian have stockists? or need to order online?

Just mix your usual foundation with a serum.

Sculpted by Aimee, it’s made for dry skin! (We’re not helping, are we😅)

The ordinary - serum foundation. Very budget friendly too

Agree with this. Online dirt cheap, bought a couple of shades and apply it with a couple of drops of vit c oil and a brush. Super on my 73-year old skin anyway!
