Hallo, can anyone tell me if this product exists or what I’m looking for? I’m not very good at make-up 😂. Basically I’m looking for something that probably goes under foundation, to even out my skin tone a bit. Not concealer as it always looks cakey on me (I’m 54, fair dry skin), and I want something that I can use on my cheeks, not just under eyes Something that adds a bit of shine/glow ideally. Is that primer? Or a serum? Do these even work/make a difference ?!

thanks for any advice 🙏

Yes, that's primer. Clarins beauty flash balm is nice.

Erborian CC cream is wonderful.

Ah thank you everyone! I used to use clarins flash balm, back in the day and had forgotten about it! Might look at primers as needing some coverage these days 😂

Another vote for Primer. I use the Charlottle Tilbury one which is excellent and has SPF (although you can’t go wrong with Clarins). If you’d like something more reasonably priced Elf’s primer is also really good.

Yep primer.

Bobbi Brown face base is excellent as is Vieve Skin Nova. The Bobbi Brown one is very hydrating but Vieve is quite glowy
