Dewy foundation

Hi all,

I was addicted to the fenty hydrating foundation and it's been discontinued! I went back to the normal pro'filter but as I expected it is way way too matt. I'm mid 30's and I'm finding a dewy finish is more flattering.

Could anyone recommend anything? Bonus points if it has half decent coverage.

Boots No 7 hydroluminous?

If you want to keep using the Fenty foundation, why don’t you buy either the Missha Glow Balm or the Peach C Glow Makeup Base to wear underneath it or mix in with it? I love both. (Especially the Missha, which I also use alone as a glowy moisturiser.)
Another option, depending on your skin tone is the Fenty Body Sauce. (My only “foundation” these days!”) I receive comments on my “flawless” skin all the time, and I’m 50!

Sculpted by Amie , a fabulous Irish brand . You can buy online and I think boots in the uk stock it . Huge range of colours too

YSL Nu is gorgeous. I tried Laura Mercier and Nars before settling in YSL. You should be able to get testers.

Chanel Les Beiges water fresh tint. It doesn't give much coverage, if that's needed, but a great fresh glowy complexion

Tried this and had no colour - looked like you need to use a lot to get any coverage. Just looked like clear gel with minimal cover and a faff to use with the brush.

L'Oréal True Match applied with a damp sponge does it for me.

Lisa Eldridge is the best foundation I've ever used.
Bit pricier but i find i hardly need to use any.

Bourjois Always Fabulous! The bottle says “full coverage,” but it does go on dewy and non-drying. While it does have good coverage, your initial application will be medium coverage (which i love) and it stays in place without feeling dry all day to me, and my skin is fairly dry. I’ve mixed it with some BB creams and it’s played well with them and my powders as well.

Hydraluminous is my holy grail. I can't get it here and have run out so got the Estée Lauder futurist hydra which is very very nice and quite similar.

superplumb · 04/03/2023 22:56

The estee lauder futurist hydrating or something like that..I got a sample as I wanted something a bit lighter than my eldw. It's beautful. Right amount of coverage and dewy-ness

toastfiend · 04/03/2023 23:05

I love the Fenty Hydrating foundation but moved across to Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue because I find it even better than the Fenty one, so I'd definitely give it a look if I were you.

supadupapupascupa · 04/03/2023 23:31

Try It cosmetics my skin but better. Dewy without oily finish. Good coverage. Boots have it

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 05/03/2023 00:16

Another vote for Lisa Eldridge.

Fiveletters · 05/03/2023 00:18

Charlotte tilbury beautiful skin foundation. I use flawless filter underneath and love the combo.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/03/2023 00:38

Futurist is lovely. Even my dp, who never notices anything, said tonight how nice my face looked!

CeriB82 · 05/03/2023 09:18

I use No7 hydra luminous

then some highlighter where required
