Please can anyone recommend a light weight foundation that’s a bit more cover than a tinted moisturiser?

Something that’s not thick as my skin is quite oily.

Thank you!

I like the Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin Foundation. Very light and lasts incredibly well.

I apply my usual foundation very lightly when I want thin coverage. Have you tried that?

I also like the Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin Foundation. Bobbi Brown's Intensive Serum Radiance Primer is also absolutely fantastic and I often don't wear even the Weightless Skin when I've got the primer on.

ByTerry Hyaluronic foundation (Space NK) is gorgeous and has been Holy Grail for my oily skin but you’ll have to be quick because they are very slowly discontinuing it. One thing with that one though is that you need to be perfectly exfoliated to get the lovely natural finish. Those two things are worth navigating though! It’s the best foundation I’ve ever used.

The Ordinary Serum Foundation. V cheap as well!

Dior face and body, highly pigmented very thin.

Although it’s a tinted moisturiser, the Nars one has a lot of pigment imo

AYU Fresh Skin foundation. It's got a gorgeous texture but is highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. I love the coverage it gives without feeling like I'm caked in makeup!
