@jobiz  - I think L'Oreal tinted serum foundation is fabulous.  Their other foundations are good too - 24 hour Infallible.  I have both.  I also wear Kosas foundation and recently fell in love with Estee Lauder Double Wear.  For tinted moisturizer, I use Laura Geller's version with 50spf.  I always have an spf on underneath it though so not depending on it for my spf.  Also IT Cosmetics CC Nude Glow which I think is fabulous too.  Only CC cream of IT that I can wear.  It's not yellow at all like their other CC cream.

 

Good luck in your search.  There are some great suggestions on this thread.

@jobiz  Skin Long Wear Powder Fluid.  This is what I wear and it is light coverage but if you keep applying you will get more coverage.  It's $24 now normally $40 at Bobbi.  Nordstrom also carries it.  I have been wearing for several years now and I am 72.

What works for me is both Laura Geller B&B foundation. It goes on as a fine powder but turns to a matte cream The look is your skin but better. I also like Dr.Denese Day Cream which is a mult tiask product. You only need a little bit. It's sunscreen/moisturizer/foundation all in one. It just looks like your skin but even tone. 

Both og these products work for me without leaving and shine, glitter or running into lines or wrinkle. Hope one of them works for you.

67 here, with combo oily skin...really oily around the t-zone. Laura Geller's Balance & Brighten is the one for me. I've used it since it was introduced and there was only one shade back then! I've used up more compacts than I can count at this point. It goes on easily with a dense flat-top brush, coverage is buildable, and it stays put all day, even without a primer. Her blushes are gorgeous, too!

Thank you everyone for your wonderful advise! Since I've never tried Laura Geller I may sample that and a Bobbi Brown. 
You are all so wonderful! Enjoy your weekend

I am using Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. It is a little heavier than a bb or cc cream. Nice color and is 30 spf--but I wear a separate spf under it. I don't think it is a medium coverage tho.

@jobiz 

I've been trying a handful of foundations recently (IT CC+ Nude Glow, Estee' Lauder Double Wear, NARS) & the one that takes #1 spot for me is NARS Light Reflecting foundation.  It's perfect in EVERY way for me!  Color match, coverage, light reflection, long wear.  I really need to stop looking at other foundations because NARS is a match made in foundation heaven for me and I have @monicakm to thank for the recommendation!

I'm so glad you love it @SurferWife 

I feel the same way about it.  There just couldn't be a more 

perfect foundation for me.  I still enjoy my Rose Inc foundation too

but they are so different, there is no competition with which to wear.  It just depends on the look I want.  The Rose Inc is the spheres of color in a serum base.

@jobiz I've test run hundreds of foundations in my lifetime of wearing makeup and for a confused consumer, I don't think you can go wrong with Estee Lauder's Double Wear.  It's fantastic and the coverage can be applied as heavy or light as you choose.
