Cheap dewy foundation

24 replies

hoohaaar · 28/06/2022 21:35

I'm looking for a light coverage dewy foundation.

Preferably something around £10.

I used to wear Giorgio Armani Luminous silk but can't afford it anymore!!

Thanks!

Just bought the rimmel one, it's so dark
But might be my mistake

ELF from Boots. It's in a silver box only Boots do it £14.

Best drug store foundation I've ever had.

Probs. I'm very fair

The Rimmel one is good, I was disappointed with the No. 7 Hydraluminus, I found it quite drying. "Wet 'n Wild Photo Focus Dewy Foundation" is supposed to be a dupe for Nars Sheer Glow (the packaging is very similar too) and gets great reviews. You can get it on Amazon if you can't find it in a local store.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 29/06/2022 10:13

Nars sheer glow isn't dewy though. So I assume a dupe wouldn't be either. Don't get me wrong, I love SG, but it's reasonably matte on my skin.

You could always add in moisturiser to a foundation to give you a dewy finish?

Glitterb · 29/06/2022 10:15

Loreal serum foundation is brilliant, I’ve already gone through 3 bottles!

Some reviewers reckon L'Oréal Infallible Freshwear is a good dupe for the Armani eg

I've ordered, so waiting to see how I get on.

Nars sheer glow is neither sheer, nor glowy. Horrible thick matte stuff

Gogster · 29/06/2022 12:41

Rimmel perfect match is also dewy and lovely.

I can never decide which I prefer, the perfect match or the lasting radiance.

My absolute super star foundation is Chanel vitalumiere (the original, not aqua)

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 29/06/2022 14:03

Nars sheer glow is neither sheer, nor glowy. Horrible thick matte stuff I'm wearing it right now, and I don't find it to be any of those things Confused Maybe it's not 'dewy' but on my skin it's certainly glowy and not at all thick or horrible!

FreshFaceTime · 29/06/2022 14:12

The Ordinary serum foundation - 6 quid and really nice. I reach for it more than my posh ones.

I agree I've never found it thick or matte. I don't think it's sheer, but I think it's the glow that is sheer if that makes sense.

Revolution conceal and hydrate or their conceal and glow

Update - ordered ivory, which was weirdly peachygorange. Made me look like death warmed up and sat obviously in the pores of my mid-fifties skin. Hate it.

Is Rimmel Lasting Radiance still available in the UK? It's been discontinued in shops here in Australia, though available through ASOS, and I'll stock up when I come over later this year.

PAFMO · 04/07/2022 06:07

L'Oreal Pro Glow is good, but I'd agree with above poster about the Maybelline.
Also any foundation with a serum incorporated.

My HG is Hydraluminous but it has coverage + light reflecting properties rather than "glow".

Definitely agree about the Nars Sheer Glow. It's neither. It's a good fairly full coverage foundation.

Another one for The Ordinary serum foundation at £6

And I've tried a lot of bouji foundations in my time

wheresmymojo · 04/07/2022 06:50

ASOS also sells The Ordinary serum foundation so I tend to get one when I'm getting something else, clothes or whatever to get the free delivery otherwise paying for delivery from other sites almost doubled the cost since it's so cheap!
