Following. Got a couple of bottles of bourjois healthy mix left but once that goes I’m lost!

Honeybee85 · 03/01/2020 14:57

Yves Saint Laurent has a wonderful foundation, forgot the name of it Blush

MAC waterweight

Chanel les beiges tinted moisturiser has a lovely dewy finish with light coverage. I'm onto my third bottle, it's perfect for my skin

Bamboo15 · 03/01/2020 20:48

Chanel vitaluminare

mnahmnah · 03/01/2020 20:49

MAC face and body. Lovely and light, but can layer it up to suit. Nice dewy finish

Wineloffa · 03/01/2020 20:50

Clinique Even Better Glow with Laura Mercier Glow loose powder on top.

Sexnotgender · 03/01/2020 20:53

I agree with @wineloffa, Clinique even better glow is the dogs bollocks.
I’ve just bought the Laura mercier powder but not tried it yet.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 03/01/2020 20:54

Loads of healthy mix on line still,I've been stock piling

Wineloffa · 03/01/2020 20:56

@Sexnotgender people comment on my skin all the time saying it’s glowing etc.

I would recommend applying the LM powder v lightly though. Too much looks like you’re covered in highlighter.

I bought 'cosmic glow' luminiser from Sephora when I went to Milan... And when I mix it into my foundations it gives a beautiful dewy glow all over. Amazed I've not heard more about it, but you could probably order it online. I even put the TINIEST dab on top of my cheekbones, it gives an amazing wet look, like you've been purified from the inside out.

Kevin Aucoin balm is £££ but is glorious - such a gorgeous finish

Sexnotgender · 03/01/2020 20:59

I get the same wineloffa, I do have good skin anyway but this just makes it look amazing.

nixso29 · 03/01/2020 21:03

Becca shimmering skin perfector liquid in opal mixed into/under any foundation is a serious game changer! I've even had men at work telling me I look glowing lol

professionalnomad · 03/01/2020 21:14

No 7 hydraluminous

Housewife2010 · 03/01/2020 22:19

This is gorgeous. I'm a Mac NC20 and wear Medium. It's sheer and glowy and very natural www.lookfantastic.com/lumene-invisible-illumination-instant-glow-beauty-serum-30ml/11697296.html

definitelyshouldknowbetter · 03/01/2020 23:42

Even better glow is my light makeup, it’s definitely glowy!!

user1469830006 · 04/01/2020 00:35

MAC NC2. I get so many compliments on my skin and makeup since I started wearing it

DarlingCoffee · 04/01/2020 06:54

Yes I second Hydraluminous from No.7 (Boots)

JinglingHellsBells · 04/01/2020 08:06

Boots Hydraluminous is nice- I've used high for years- but the colour range is limited. Only 2 pale shades - Calico is ok for me though slightl on the pink side.

Clinique Even Better Glow is nice but I didn't find a perfect shade and passed what I'd bought onto a friend.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation is worth a look at- very light coverage but does look a bit glowy. I'm using that at the moment.

Plump82 · 04/01/2020 09:15

For a bargain glowy foundation, try the Revolution Pro foundation drops. It's really watery but decent coverage and a nice glow. I like that all the shades match up the the concealers and the shade range is good.

Verite1 · 04/01/2020 09:17

Yves Saint Laurent Teint Eclat foundation with Hourglass powder on top is my choice.

fikel · 04/01/2020 09:18

Revolution is incredible

CourtneyB123 · 04/01/2020 09:20

HD brows do the best dewy foundation x

TheCanterburyWhales · 04/01/2020 09:21

N7 Hydraluminous is the best foundation I've ever used. Coming up on the podium would be Maybelline Dream Silk (so lovely you can't stop touching your face!) and L'Oreal pro-glow

I've tried, in my decade long search for a Holy Grail, off the top of my head:

Chanel Vitalumiere
Chanel Lift Lumiere
Chanel Les Beiges
Armani Luminous Silk
Bourjois health mix
Clarins Instant Smooth (both foundation and primer- these were the best of the high end ones I've tried but they don't make the foundation anymore)
YSL Eclat wotsit
Clinique laser repair

The three cheaper ones listed above are a zillion times better, more glowy and light reflective on me than any of the more expensive ones. Bourjois health mix was nice but the limited colour selection meant I was always a bit too orange.
