Best non-foundation “skin improver”

I’m not sure what these products are called but the likes of CC/BB/skin tint etc

I’ve tried eborian CC which is lovely but the Dore is too tan and the clair to pale.

Eborian BB was a bit too pale and the colour choices are confusing

Estée Lauder DayWear skin tint is nice and add a sheer glow but doesn’t really do much more but I love the single shade.

Before I used these I used No7 hydra luminous and I tried that again and was surprised at how heavy it is in comparison and they change the formula.

I definitely don’t want a heavy made up look just light and polished and bit healthy!

All difficult is that I change colour in summer!

I've struggled this summer. I think maybe the spf bases I'm using are all wrong for me. While I do like erborian I've found Armani silk better for my skin.

I like nars tinted moisturiser which comes in a range of shades

I really like erborian skin hero glow:

Its more skincare than makeup and is untinted (no coverage) but slightly blurs and gives a subtle glow. This is VERY subtle, so literally "your skin but better" sort of thing.

For a very light coverage and glow I like Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter.

Sculpted by Aimee hydra tint is lovely (as is Nars tinted moisturiser but I struggle with the shades)

Glossier Skin Tint

I really like the No 7 Beautiful skin BB cream.

Thanks for these ideas

had considered Eborian skin hero and CT product - not sure if it’s the same but thinking must be- for me to choose from.

Rimmel Multi Tasker, very light and lasts ages.

Add a drop or drops of an illuminator to any foundation or bb cream to get a radiant glow. Lots of brands make them, perhaps try No 7 first as it’s inexpensive and has good reviews. I use Mac Strobe, the pink one.

I also like RMS beauty magic luminizer to highlight my face.

Have you tried Double wear sheer?
