My skin used to be oily but it’s become a bit dry/dull. I’m addressing this with skincare. I’m looking for a foundation that can give me that oily skin look - fresh, glowing, healthy. I like medium to full coverage.

The IT cosmetic cc cream is a dream

Boots No 7 Hydraluminous - not full coverage, but it's excellent. They also do a serum concealer which is great.

Nars light reflecting foundation

Clinique Even Better Glow

Armani luminous silk fits your brief exactly.

or a thicker bb creme like erborian.

I used Luminous Silk for years but then switched to Hourglass & Nars. I thought Luminous Silk is okay but a bit outdated almost. Might have to try it again.

Leichner Camera Clear foundation. It gives my dull, dry skin an oily glow. I have the palest of pale skin and 'Blend of Almond' works for me.

I bought this today after reading on here how good it is! Excited to try it 😊

I use Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, I’m in my 50s and don’t like “foundation” anymore.

I have dry/dull skin too.

I love nars sheer glow but it doesn't last all day. I need to try the light reflecting one.

I used to use Armani luminous silk years ago which is amazing.

The light reflecting one is, confusingly, more glowy than sheer glow

Ahh annoyingly I just ordered my usual natural radiant longwear foundation from them the other day. Didn’t cross my mind to check their other foundations!

My only thing against Nars is that I can’t get a great shade match in their foundations as they run yellow. Wish the had a more neutral light shade.

@hoppityscotch would you recommend the light reflecting one?
