Summer foundation with decent coverage

Hi all, sure this has been asked before but what foundation is best in the heat?
I like as full coverage as possible. Day to day I'd either west MAC Studio Fix or Doublewear.

In the us heat wave they've gone super cakey and horrible.

I know a lot of people go tinted moisturiser only. However I've got terrible skin (hormonal issues plus medication issues) so not something that can be resolved with skincare.

Any recommendations for something with slightly better coverage than tinted moisturiser?

I'm the same. Love a full coverage 'cause I have shit skin, but hate the feel of makeup on my face in warm weather.
I use:
Maybelline Fit Me! concealer as a day to day casual foundation because it actually feels like skin and doesn't make me want to peel off my face when it gets warm. Genuine star product.
bareminerals if I'm going for a more matte look, really weatherproof, buildable coverage.
And my all time favourite hot weather foundation (is another concealer), Revlon Colorstay Concealer... doesn't cake, doesn't budge, withstands being sweaty as fuck without splitting/showing pores, lovely and dewy.

I wear double wear most of the time but in the high summer switch to The Ordinary Coverage Foundation. I think it's been discontinued sadly but I managed to bag a bottle a few months ago which should last me a few summers.

I've got this www.rimmellondon.com/en-gb/face/foundations/moisturising-skin-tint-foundation and it's great.

It's light, but it is foundation (I think)), rather than tinted moisturiser..

I like Maybelline dream urban cover. It's mostly available online or bigger Boots branches. Light and factor 50.

I have just started using L'Oréal true match. Very light but great coverage
