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

Chanel Vitalumiere.
Do you have a budget, OP?

Not at all 😀

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

NARS sheerglow or Makeup forever?

I like Touch Eclat foundation with Laura Mercier powder.

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.

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

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

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

Armani luminous silk is amazing.

Also like Laura Mercier tinted foundation.

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

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.

Not a fan of vitalumiere.
You look fabulous bigstripeybastard

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I was underwhelmed by Candleglow too.

Nice lipstick Bastard.

What is it?

Armani luminous silk or Mac studio sculpt

Second hourglass powders they have changed my life!!
