Hi!
Im after some recommendations for a nice foundation. Ideally, something quite natural, light to med coverage, not too matte. I was considering treating myself and buying the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation as I have a SpaceNK gift card, but interested in recommendations!

Im currently using L’Oreal Skin Paradise tinted moisturiser or NO7 Intelligent Cover Foundation. Also used Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation and NYX Born to Glow!

trying to avoid orange and oxidising foundation!

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

I've tried the NARS light reflecting and the sheer glow and I like both. I don't use much and build up.

There's also a Clinique one I like, maybe better glow or something like that. I like a dewy finish.

I'm in my second bottle of Glossier skin tint - it's sheer but buildable, and if I want more coverage, I add a dab of concealer to it. Really rate it!

See if you can try the Nars… from what you have described that you enjoy wearing already, it may be too heavy for you. You might enjoy the Rare Beauty foundation and concealer. Or Fenty Ease Drops. Otherwise, Nars has a brilliant tinted moisturiser and so does Bare Minerals. Tbh, there are a lot of really great tinted moisturizers/skin tints out there. I think you might also enjoy something like the Rose Inc. Tinted Serum or the Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Tint and a really great concealer to disguise dark circles and blemishes…(Nars Creamy Concealer rocks, Rose Inc concealer is great but extremely full coverage.)

The nars light reflecting one is nice. Or there's a beautiful chanel one if they sell chanel?

Ooh and as PP said the NARS moisturiser is good.

I’d try the Nars Radiant tinted moisturiser if there’s a shade that suits.

Charlotte tilbury light wonder!! Game changer

I’ve just bought the Hourglass seamless finish stick having been completely blown away by the brilliance of their concealers. I’ve got dark circles around my eyes and this stuff is phenomenal; the foundation supposedly does the job of concealer and foundation and powder so we will see. They’ve also just bought our a new liquid one. I really like the brand (and lots of colours, particularly good on the very pale and very dark ends of the spectrum).

I love NARS sheer glow, the light reflecting one doesn't seem to sit as well on my skin, of you can go in to store ask them to do half & half on your face so you can see.

I use IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream it’s amazing coverage but looks so natural and gives a lovely glow not matte at all.

What did you think of the NYX Born to Glow OP? I've been using it and do really like it given its a cheaper option, albeit would prefer a better shade range (i'm quite pale)

I like NARS Sheer Glow (albeit it isn't that glowy). Wanted to like the Light reflecting but did find it sat on my skin a bit.

The Ordinary Serum foundation as a budget option? Otherwise Shiseido Skin Radiant lifting foundation is really nice and I would like to try the Rare Beauty Weightless foundation which I think Space NK stock.
