Foundation that makes my skin look amazing but also looks like I'm not wearing foundation!

I'm on the hunt for a new foundation. Ive been using Bourjois healthy mix serum for a while but have realised its starting to look a bit cakey on me - like its sitting on my face if that makes sense. Any ideas for something a bit less obvious and also with an SPF? Not worried about spending a bit more. My skin is not too bad and just needs evening out so I don't need heavy coverage. Any ideas

Both Asian BBs and Lily Lolo give my skin a really natural look. I prefer the former in summer (easier to pair with sunscreen) and the latter in winter. Oh and I'm super pale, Missha #13 or Porcelain/ China Doll in Lily Lolo, or MAC NW 5-10.

The Face Shop Aura CC cream. It's all about how you apply it. :) What I do is take a pea-sized amount, spread it on my forearm, then take small bits to pat on my face so it's not so full on.

YSL youth liberator. It's expensive but a little goes a long way.

I used to use Chanel vitalumiere but I find that it doesn't give me enough coverage anymore and is a little too dewey looking for summer.

I sometimes use a colour corrector from Lush. They are very reasonably priced and give a lovely finish. The colours are great as they are yellow based rather than pinky.

Chanel Les Beiges. It's very light, but gives you a lovely, even skintone. All my friends who have tried mine have gone and bought their own. Has SPF.

The best foundation I've ever had is By Terry Cover Expert. I thought it was good, then I saw a photo of myself with it on, and it's like a flattering Instagram filter but in real life.

I used to wear Bourjois Healthy Mix serum in the lightest shade - it was possibly ever so slightly too yellow for me but I do really like it and it evens up the redness in my skin nicely. But I now use Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream and it's perfect, it is totally invisible on my skin (I just apply with fingers and blend carefully) and yet gives better coverage than the Healthy Mix. And it's SPF30 so it's perfect for the summer. I wear the light shade. It's slightly pinker than the yellowy Healthy Mix but not too pink, I'd say neutral. Most high st BB creams are too dark for me.
