In need of a BB Cream, Tinted Moisturizer or Lightweight Foundation

[carlym99]

Hi Sephora Community - Hoping you all can help. I'm looking for a lightweight/light coverage foundation, BB cream or tinted moisturizer. I'd like the product to provide some coverage, but since I'm looking to wear it daily, I'd still like my skin to be able to breathe. I wear 2 Cool Rosy (202) in the Dior Airflash Spray foundation, so I'm hoping for recommendations that fit that color. 

I'm thinking the CLINIQUE Even Better Glow Light Reflecting Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Foundation in either Neutral or Fair might be good. Thoughts? Recommendations?

@Cyncynn , @CookieGirl1 , @ather , @PenelopeBT  - Thanks for all of your great suggestions! I definitely flagged all of them for my Loves list. I'll probably go to my local Sephora to try each on. Thanks again

Hi there!

I love the Kosas Tinted face oil. It will give you a very natural light to medium coverage and doesn't feel oily/greasy at all. You can start with 2 drops and build it up if needed. You'd probably be shade 2 or 3. I tried samples of 1, 2 and 3 and can use any of them on my N2 skin. 2 and 3 are better matches and both work well for me.

Kosas Tinted Face Oil Comfy Skin Tint Tone 02

This was my favorite new product from 2019.

I've never tried the Clinique one, so can't comment on that one.

@carlym99 Origins recently launched a new foundation and although I haven't personally tried it I immediately thought of you and your search after reading into the product claims a little bit--you might check it out.  ORIGINS - Pretty in Bloom™ SPF 20 Flower-Infused Long-Wear Foundation

@carlym99  I have super dry skin and I’ve been using KOSAS - Tinted Face Oil Foundation and it feels amazing in these dry months!!

Hi @carlym99,

I'm not sure what your skin type is, but if you're on the drier side I recommend the BAREMINERALS - COMPLEXION RESCUE™ Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30. It has buildable light to medium coverage and gives that natural, no makeup look. It gives a luminous finish and is a hydrating product.

@PenelopeBT  - Thanks! Though when looking at the color options, they all seem a bit yellowish. Do you find that this product trends towards warmer skin tones? I'm pretty light but with neutral to peach/pinkish undertones.

Hi @carlym99,

Yes, I do think the shades trend towards warmer undertones. However, if you have peach/pink undertones and fair skin, I recommend the shade Cashew.  If you're very fair, I recommend the shade Vanilla. Also, it's best to go to your local Sephora and get a samples of a couple different shades/products so you can try them at home to see how they wear throughout the day.

@carlym99 I actually have the CLINIQUE - Even Better Foundation Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 (not the glow version) and I appreciate it for an everyday lightweight foundation.  It provides light coverage and doesn't feel heavy and I actually like the plastic squeeze top packaging because it makes it easy for travel.  It's one that I wear especially more during the summer.  The finish is natural, which is really my favorite.  I've tried the dewier version but I felt like it emphasized texture on me more than I liked although if you don't HAVE any texture it obviously won't be an issue.  Hope that helps!

Hi @CookieGirl1 - Thank you so much for your review. I'll probably go to a Sephora store next and try on the one you recommended as well as the glow item. Thanks again!
