What can I wear instead of foundation that gives good coverage

I've tried so many different foundations and they all make my face look really dry and cakey. I want something that make me looks glowy. I've been using Vita Liberata tinted moisturiser which I love but I find it doesn't give great coverage like foundation. Does anyone have any recommendations? Can I use the tinted moisture along side something else maybe?

I use IT Cosmetics CC cream too. It’s light, glowy but also gives coverage and doesn’t oxidise over the day.

Garnier spf50 glow. Really pleased with it day to day. If I want a bit more then Boerfect chroma luminous has worked well for me.

I love this stuff. When I ran out about a month ago, I had a terrible job trying to buy more. It was sold out everywhere. I got some in the end. I prefer it to foundation now.

Should add that it's the Garnier I'm referring to

@Menora @KoalaDrama do you use primer with the IT Cosmetics CC Cream. I use it over moisturiser and LRP thin sunscreen but wonder if I should include a primer?

Sometimes I do, generally just let my moisturiser or sun cream dry. If I know I am going to get very hot or something I will use a primer and a setting spray but most days I don’t for work. I’ve had a few times separation on my chin area that gets acne if it’s flaring up so I might prime then. For me I can’t find anything else that matches my skin tone this perfectly!

No, just moisturiser and sunscreen. The sunscreen I have is glowy too with a little coverage, it’s really great.

I use this and sometimes their red correct bb cream. Both fantastic. Light and dewy

I really like the Trinny London BFF De stress. It has coverage but is light.

I keep going back to Clinique cc cream in the pink tube. The lightest Erborian was too dark and shiny for me but the Clinique in light is perfect for summer
