Light foundation suggestions please, for mid 40s!

Hello,
I rarely wear make up. I wear it when going out only, and then it takes me all of 5 min. To be honest, i haven't ever really spent more than that. I'm now mid 40s and would like to start wearing a light foundation daily. I previously used Chanel Vita Lumiere but it has been discontinued. This used to be light enough thst I didn't feel caked. All others since then seem heavy by comparison. I now use a no 7. product but still feels too much. I don't like tinted moisturiser.
Any suggestions for a light foundation? I love the natural look, with a glow but just can't seem to make it work for me!
TIA!

Try Ebrorian CC cream not really a foundation but a skin care with colour! BB cream is bit more coverage.

at The moment I’m using the Estée Lauder daywear sheer tint which is one shade that adjusts

Armani Luminous Silk is excellent.

It’s not a foundation but I love garnier vit c uv glow brightening fluid- and it’s my factor 50 too!

I love Mac face and body foundation,and glossier tint . Also, yeah, erborian is pretty great.

I use Dr Jart Cicapair color correcting treatment. Very light and don’t need a foundation with it. Def gives me a glow!

Lisa Eldridge skin tint may be worth a look. Very light.

I love Nars light reflecting - it’s light-medium and lasts well during the day/night but is still glowy and looks natural. Loads of shades too. L’Oréal true match serum is good for a drugstore option but less shades.
