Foundation for 40 recommendations

Im very nearly 40, always wear make up everyday and have done since early teens, hate going out without it on type person, but I’ve only ever used powder foundation. I have been using the max factor facefinity foundation compact for years.
would a liquid foundation give me a smoother appearance? And what would you recommend as a good starting one which is reasonably priced? I currently spend max £26 on 2 facefinity per month on average.
if it makes a difference I have fairly good skin, rarely get a spot, used a stick concealer for under eye bags when really bad, and I’m very pale - I use the ivory shade currently.
i want to look effortlessly made up without being over the top.
thanks

oh and no Botox/fillers/aesthetic work etc…. And I just use a a moisturiser such as palmers or e45

I like Boots No7 - you can ask for samples to try before you buy and they help colour match too.
