Light coverage foundation

Hey can anyone recommend a light coverage foundation please? I've been using No 7 but they've changed them all now so I'd need a whole consultation so feel like a good chance to try something potentially better

I’ve ditched foundation completely and switched to Erborian bb cream. Lovely coverage, but nice and light. I found the cc cream version far too thick though.

I use a skin tint. I recommend the Lisa Eldridge one.

I was looking at that this morning online. How do you get the right shade though if you don't have a local stockist?

I randomly tried Shiseido Synchro Skin and it's so good. I don’t wear foundation as I find it too heavy. This was barely-there but stopped me looking patchy.

They show the shade on her website. I have a pale rosy complexion, in my rates at least, and use the shade T2 if that helps.

@littleteapot86 Chanel does a tint too however it’s over £50 .

I use the Maybelline skin tint. It’s very light and good coverage for a tint - not too heavy but not completely transparent. I used to use No.7 too until a few year ago when they changed my shade - Porcelain- and made it so orange!

Chanel les beiges water fresh complexion fresh is a very light gel like base. I like it. On special at boots at the mo.

Somehow I forgot to finish that - was saying Boots does samples where I am and this foundation is the best for me

Chanel has a very natural and flattering finish.
