Best foundation for very subtle glow?

I don't have a favourite foundation and tend to chop and change. But now I'm over 50 I want something that will give my skin a subtle glow and lift. It can be quite sheer as my complexion is clear and even toned. What are your recommendations?

I mix a drop of l'oreals gold liquid highlight (in a bottle with a dropper) in with my no 7 lift and luminate make up. The two mixed gives light coverage mixed, it feels glowy, not like pussy galore in goldfinger. Does make me feel a bit less 'flat' though.

No. 7 hydraluminous. A small amount gives a subtle glow and light coverage without looking like you’re caked in makeup.

Another vote for No. 7 hydraluminous. I also change my foundation regularly, always come back to no7.

I must try that. I know no7 is a not very cool brand but I really like the way their make up glides on.

Cool vanilla is a good colour match for my fairly pale skin in Hydraluminous. There are at least ten different shades. I dab on a little pore minimising primer first (another No. 7 product that I absolutely love!)

Clinique even better glow. It’s FANTASTIC.

I use hyaluronic acid and Nivea blue tub before foundation. I use one known for a drying, cake like finish, and I get a gentle glow and great finish.
