Best Tinted Moisturiser or Light Foundation??

[BaconAndAvocado]

I'm 54 and use a NARS foundation which is great but I sometimes feel it's a bit too heavy for every day use - walking the dog, trip to the supermarket etc.

Any recommendations for a lighter look?

Tia.

Clinique BB gel is lovely. Great for days when you don’t want much.

I've tried loads because I hate an obvious foundation, when people see me it's in natural light and not in some photography studio or filtered on social media.

So the best for me (I have some open pores and flushed cheeks) is without a doubt Bourjois CC cream. I love it and after lots of experiments, this is the one I'm sticking with.

Been using this for the last few months and love it - think it's been really good for my skin https://www.boots.com/no7-hydraluminous-aquarelease-skin-perfector-10288699?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc--PLAs_HeroCompare---_-PMax:+UK_Smart_Shopping_Beauty&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA8YyuBhBSEiwA5R3-E5owxH326wYtfaqmLjeAEk62Y54HA_uyh0AeCugqR7LKUKRbVA05KRoCHFIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I like estee Lauder daywear tinted moisturiser. It's a universal shade. I also use Armani luminous silk foundation and for lighter days I mix them

Another vote for Origins Tinted Moisturiser. It's really lovely and glowy, a little goes a long way and it has SPF40.

Turkeyhen look at Finland or Gotland

I have this foundation, have used it for years in Cool Ivory. But since I've discovered Clinique foundation I find the No7 doesn't last as long on my face but the No7 essentailly natural matches my skin better. Which shade do you use?

Fenty blurring skin tint is nice.

I use Nivea tinted moisturiser. It's great for the price.

Erborian CC cream is just perfect. They stock it in space NK or on Amazon.

Another vote for Laura mercier but I use the oil free one - have done for over a decade

I bought the Clinique BB gel on a whim recently and love it. I'm very freckly and have never really got on with foundation and now at 49 really hate the look and feel of anything heavy on my skin.

I also use this, after changing from their City Light.
This feels so much lighter on my skin, very pleased with it, and it is very competitively priced/quality in comparison to some other brands

Another vote for Chantecaille Just Skin. I recently bought the rated Hourglass one and didn't find it as good so will be returning to Just Skin ASAP

Another newish fan of Erborian - it's just perfect.

Prior to that I always used Estée Lauder EE Cream which is now called Perfectionist I think.

On the high st, I think the Maybelline ones are pretty good for the price.

Chantecaille Just Skin

Another vote for Erborian BB.

I also like the l'oreal green CC cream for a very light touch look. It doesn't really offer any coverage, just a bit of colour correction.

Estee Lauder DW Sheer for when I need a more matt look that lasts all day.

@BaconAndAvocado @Turkeyhen if you go on Nars website they have a customer service product section & if you tell them which shade in their current products you use they will tell you what matches that. I've no idea why these brands don't make products in the same colours though.

I like By Terry and have failed in the past with a few of the options above eg LM, EL, Nars and Boots. I don't often wear makeup these days and like the process of buying so I might have another go with the LM oil free or chantecaille.
One thing I have learned is to go for an assistant who is either closer to my advanced age or at least with similar colouring. I haven't got time for little pots and going back to the shop so want a decent colour match which needs some expertise bearing in mind make up departments are always so brightly lit.

How do you combine a tinted moisturizer with sun protection? I wear SPF50 daily, currently Cantabria Heliocare under Lumene CC. I’m not overly enthusiastic about the Lumene CC and would like to try something new (more glow, less coverage) but it needs to work with a sunscreen.

Erborian, it makes skin flawless. I’m pale and the nude is perfect for me

Laura mercier tinted moisturiser

At the high coverage end of TMs

It’s the best there is

Tropic Beaty booster sheer foundation is excellent! I am pale and this is sheer but I’ve some blurring I use warm beige.

This is possibly one of the best for the price and it smells lovely too

Garnier do a lovely light fluid SPF 50 which is probably classed as sun cream but I use it pretty much every day as it blends in nicely and my make up sits happily on top. Less than a tenner too.

Actually really rate lots of garnier products
