I still use this one, too! I try new ones from time to time, but keep going back to Laura Mercier.

I was just about to recommend this. I switch between this and the Charlotte Tilbury (but that's full coverage and you don't want that). In the summer I use the Hause Labs and it's pretty.


NP. I have Haus Labs and it still feels heavy and looks like old fashioned foundation too. What am I doing wrong? How do you apply it?

Cle de Peau radiant cream foundation spf 25 is my favorite for providing more coverage than a tinted moisturizer without feeling heavy or makeup-y.

If you are older and have dry skin, Complexion Drops by Westman Atelier is chef's kiss. Clean ingredients and makes my skin healthier. Radiant, sheer finish.

I looked at the Colorescience website, did the color quiz, just got spam in an email inbox. Creepy because I was in incognito browser. Some powerful trackers. Never going to buy from them!

I agree. It sounds like OP wants a lightweight, but medium coverage foundation. You can sort by this in Ulta or Sephora.

This one is nice but the shades aer limited. Sheer isn't popular so I'd look for the shade over the brand. Keep in mind that sheer may also mean a limited number of hours of coverage. This one is only 8 so it didn't work for me.
