I like Dr. Jart or Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. If I want more coverage then I will just layer with smashbox primer first and the finish with light setting powder.

I’m really surprised so many people are wearing some type of base. I gave it up years ago. I do moisturizer, under eye concealer, eyebrow mascara, and eye liner and sometimes a little lip stain if I want to look more polished.

+1. Unless you are performing on a highly lit stage, don’t wear it.
I am 54, and I don’t wear any base makeup or foundation. Skin needs to breathe in the heat.

I might have posted about it already, but I have recently been using Make Up Forever Super Boost lately, it's lightweight, offers medium to light coverage, and I can't feel it when it's on. I wore it all day in the heat yesterday and it did not melt off!

I use supergoop glowscreen or saie tinted moisturizer (both add some dewiness), and use setting spray after.

Good for you but OP was asking for specific recommendations. Read the room.
PP was dying in thirst and it was difficult for her see anyone else.

I wear this too. It's not as long lasting as I would like, but it's favorite option to date.

It’s a physical sunscreen so good for sensitive skin, and it doesn’t have the thick/pasty texture that’s typical in most physical sunscreens. I have pretty fair skin and the tint works for me. I’ve tried SO many tinted physical sunscreens and I keep going back to this one because it’s the best!
La Roche Posay makes a good one, too.
Is the LRP version pretty light? I’d like to give it a try, since I always worry they’re going to discontinue the Vichy one! Recently I’ve had a tough time finding it.
