Missha Perfect Cover BB cream offers great coverage with spf protection. I got a tube off Amazon for $11.25 with free shipping. I ordered from Beauty Best LLC.

It CC and Missha (any one) are both great.

I love Josie MARANS tinted moisturizer with natural SPF -- I think 30. It takes a small amount to cover my whole face & sometimes I mix a bit of LG spackle to enhance the finish. The Medium shade is a tad too blah for my skin so I finish with a brushing of bronzer. I hardly ever use an actual ""foundation"" anymore and I love the simplicity of ONE product filling my needs. I only need serious coverage of darkness in eye corners.

you can try making your own by using your favorite moisturizer and then adding a drop of your favorite foundation and mixing. I keep a small round container that I add moisturizer and foundation and mix together, then it's ready when I'm ready.

This is my summertime go to!

I have really dry skin. Have tried, BB, CC creams and liked none of them.

I found a moisturizer I like for summer, mix it with a bit of liquid foundation. Want to go a bit darker? Add a few drops more of a darker shade of liquid foundation. Customized tinted moisturizer with stash already on hand.

What could be more budget friendly than that?!

Yes, it is an awesome suggestion! May I ask what moisturizer you found? I wore Mary Kay since my 20's, but it doesn't seem to work anymore for me. Yes, I do love the budget friendliness .

I'm using Lancome Renergie Lift with a little EL Resilience Lift liquid foundation mixed in. The EL foundation is my year round, go to foundation for every day.

I buy the Renergie Lift on the bay for about $8-9 for 1/2 oz travel size.

A LOT more affordable than my favorite tinted moisturizer which is Laura Mercier.

But a girl must cut costs when she needs to!!

High End:

Laura Mercier = $43

Aveda = $28

Stila = $34

Drugstore:

Rimmel SPF 25 BB Cream = $6.49

all of the above are very nice with a nice finish and protection from the sun rays. They are also very good as far as hydration for the skin. Good luck in your search.

I like Korean BB cream. After reading a lot of reviews on another forum, I ended up with Hanskin Super Plus and it's all I love in a tinted moisturizer with a bit more density. Just right. And 30 SPF, too. If I want more coverage, I use it under IT powder fnd which has no SPF. I have sensitive skin and no breakouts or rash so far.

I would try Josie Marans tinted moisturizer
