More light and sheer: Tarte BB Blur tinted moisturizer (also has SPF which is nice). I wear this most days.

More coverage while still not feeling heavy: I’d try out a variety of regular liquid foundations and see which one you like best. There are a lot of options out there. The employees at Sephora used to be able to put together a bunch of samples out of their testers, not sure if they still do this though. I’ve used the Dior Forever foundation and liked it but it is $$$. I usually use IT Cosmetics celebration foundation, which is a powder but some people don’t like powder foundations if they have dry skin. So it’s all down to personal preference and your skin type.

OP, you either want full, medium, or a tinted moisturizer/BB/CC cream.

For the last, try Dr Jart.

I went to Sephora asking for the same thing- plus I have more red in my skin tone than I would like.

I got two things- Hourglass Skin Tint Foundation and the Merit Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer stick. I like both of them and since I am bad at make up- they are both really easy to use.

It's not fancy but I really like Almay Smart Shade. It has a little sunscreen too. I have pale skin and the tone changes often with various degrees of sun and it really does a great job of providing light coverage that looks natural, feels weightless, and keeps my skin healthy.

Cle de Peau Beaute The Foundation is still my favourite. I've tried the one my La Prairie and it is nice but this one is still the best.

I would go with what Kate Middleton supposedly used around the time of her wedding. Supposedly Bobbi Brown.

I've been meaning to check out the YSL Touche Eclat concealer pen.

Agree on Dior Forever products.

I like Dior forever skin. I have rosacea and it’s the only foundation I’ve ever found that helps neutralize/cover the red without visibly looking like I am wearing makeup. I use both the concealer and the foundation - game changer

Light and sheer but with coverage for your small spots cannot exist. Sheer is the opposite of coverage.

Dior Backstage foundation is marvelous. I am a fan of the natural look, and I hate feeling make-up on my face. This checks both boxes: it smoothes out my skin, and is very lightweight, and lasts all day without any issues.

I am looking for a foundation that might cover very small stuff but gives a clean look - lightweight and sheer feel

I am ok with foundation powder or liquid.
