Foundation with no sunblock or glow particles

10 replies

Matchingcollarandcuffs · 25/11/2022 08:31

I’ve realised that (part of) the reason I look so pale and greasy in photos is from the sunblock and ‘glow’ particles in neither. I’ve just tried my beloved Mac Face and Body and the new one is glowy now too.

Can anyone recommend any foundation/BB cream that has neither plus a good 100% chemical sunscreen?

Many thanks

Hopefully bump, I’ve woken up today with a completely scarlet cheek, I think from using iconic glow base stuff :(

Dior Backstage. I think it's similar to the old Mac F&B. Should be on offer on Boots today.

Bobbi Brown skin foundation stick. No spf, no glitter. Just nice, natural, buildable coverage.

Nars sheer glow is also spf free and despite the name, isn’t particularly glowy.

@WrinklesShminkles I did have that but I bought the wrong shade and it looked awful on me, will try and get colour matched.

@Tallulasdancingshoes I’ve got one of those but I must be really heavy handed as I always look caked, need to try again

thank you

The stick? I scribble on my face and buff it in with the Bobbi brown brush. Don’t find it heavy at all doing it that way.

Aah I only use fingers and have weirdly dry but oily skin. I’ll look at some how to supply videos, thanks

NYX foundation doesn't glow in any way. Great coverage and not greasy (also pretty cheap!)

Lisa Eldridge foundation would fit the bill

I use Benefit lite primer under my foundation and that helps massively with shine
