Makeup - healthy glow look

At the moment I'm using Laura M foundation. It's nice but I feel like my complexion looks a bit flat so am thinking of getting a tinted moisturiser for the summer. Yes or no? Skin is prone to both dry & oily patches (and at the moment an outbreak of spots - ugh!). Is a tinted moisturiser likely to give enough coverage or should I stick to foundation? Am obviously using a blusher at moment as well as a little bronzer but I'm not confident with the bronzer so go for a very light touch. Maybe I just need to update my blusher colour. Any advice please as I feel very dowdy!!

Last night discovered that I have moon beam not high beam but I think they are the same but just slightly different shades. Anyway, I tried to be really subtle but tbh once I'd put my other make up on you could'nt really tell.

Might save up my boots points for some Dr Feelgood.

Yesterday I bought some of that Protect and Perfect stuff so I hope to be looking younger and brighter sometime soon .

yes there are two beam products one is lighter than the other.

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Wasn't around yesterday so I'm only catching up now. It looks like Benefit gets loads of votes but they've heaps of products so I think a visit to a Benefit counter might be in order. I was shopping yesterday but didn't have time to do much sampling at makeup counters ... the only product I did try is the Estee Lauder one which Prufrock linked too. It's wierd when it goes on - really grey but amazing how it changes. It seemed quite greasy at first but dried in. Profrock - does it even out an uneven skintone?

Thanks

Benefit's Non-Fiction foundation is also great - light but effective.
