I know nothing about make-up - but want a light "no make-up" makeup look. I hate foundation. What else could work?

[buzzheath]

Tinted moisturiser? Though "miracle balms". I just want something to bring my skin to life a bit, on the days where i CBA with concealer/blush, etc. My skin tone is dark brown (think typical South Asian skin).

Any product recs?

Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint.

Thanks! is it good, as in, have you used it? I have no idea what shade to get...i assume just the shade closest to my skin colour?

I use a Rimmel Kind and Free skin tint foundation - a bit like a tinted moisturiser and I love it.

I love Trinny London BFF for this purpose!

I have used it. If you have a Space NK near you give them a ring to see if they have it in store and they will help shade match you. I am repurchasing it when I am near a Space NK.

Light fake tan

Erborian CC cream. They sell small tester sized tubes. It’s fab.

I'm similar, can't stand the feeling of foundation!

I like The Ordinary serum foundation, I add it to my regular face moisturiser.

I also like Trinny BFFs. Feels so light on my skin, and the colour match is perfect.

Chanel complexion correcter is absolutely amazing!! Expensive but a little goes a long long way and lasts me ages! Stays on all day! X

Tinted moisturiser all the way

I was matched at SpaceNKgof the Lisa Eldridge one and was glad I was as it was different to what I would have chosen myself

I have also used and liked the Chanel one and Erborian

• I have very pale skin

Thanks, urgghhh I am so bad at this. I never know what shade to get or whether I'm medium deep or deep or what. My skin is a bit lighter than Jameela Jamil's I guess

BB cream or a tinted moisturiser. Personally I like foundation as I think it just brings your whole look together if you are wearing other make up. You can get light coverage foundations.

I love it too but there is no coverage at all in the one that contains SPF. The one that doesn't contain SPF has a light coverage and is lovely. I had a brainwave and bought both to use together to get the coverage AND the SPF, but they pill terribly together. It's not just me that happened to either.

I'm looking into the trinny BFFs, but I can't find a colour match tool on their site?

@buzzheathif there are any retailers near you with a Chanel counter, pop in. They will colour match you. John Lewis, selfridges and the like usually have the brands x

I'd have a look at cheaper brands too
I use Boots tinted moisturiser- think it's called city lights - for day to day

Also revolution pro cc perfecting skin tint - only 4 colours but adapt to your skin tone - a little more coverage than the boots one

I have nars tinted moisturiser and as it has more coverage, I use that when I want to look as if I have make a bit more effort

I also have the eborian which I find is less shiny than the above which I like sometimes

I also have Laura mercier oil free tinted moisturiser - for some reason randomly my face gets greasy (dk why at my age) and I only use that then

I'm like you and dont normally wear make-up unless i'm going out somewhere.

I'm in my fifties and just starting wearing make up a bit more. I like the powder foundation from Laura Geller. Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation | Dermatologist-Approved Weightless Makeup for Mature Skin – Laura Geller Beauty

I wear a primer underneath and it seems to last pretty well.

I did try a few tinted moisturisers and found they all rubbed off on my clothes.

For a budget friendly option I love l’oreal true match plumping serum, it has a good range of shades and is in boots/superdrug for testing.

The good news is that there are so many 'skin tints' about at the moment!

I have Loreal Glotion and Nyx Buttermelt Glaze, both are fab and do exactly what you're asking for.

Erborian CC. Either cream or CC water. They only have a few shades so I mix the 2 lighter ones together to get a shade that works better for me.

I use this too and it's great value for money and gives my face a lovely natural tint.

it's called "match 2 me" on their website.
