What is your favorite light weight foundation?

I want one that IS NOT heavy feeling but gives at least medium coverage. High end or drug store, what’s your favorite? 

For reference, I’ve tried IT CC and the colors are off on me, too yellow. I have Maybelline Super Stay, I think it’s called and it’s pretty heavy on my skin. 

Anyway, thanks for any suggestions! 🙂

@wvumountiefan    I like Elizabeth Arden Ceramide foundation.  It has no yellow undertones in the shade I wear..vanilla shell.  Very Nice natural coverage.  I have tried the others that you mentioned....just too yellow or drying.

Tarte Tinted Treatment BB Primer SPF30. Weird name. Just a nice lightweight foundation with SPF. Has a bit of a mousse like feel. I think the colors are fairly neutral. I can wear fair, which is very pale or Light when I like a bit of color.

I like Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.  Feels light on the skin and has buildable coverage.

I like this Maybelline product.  It's lightweight but covers well.  Good color match. I like the SPF of 50, after having a serious skin cancer surgically removed from my face.

I've been a Merle Norman customer since the late 1970's.....my favorite foundation is their Powder Base in Alabaster Beige.

I have tried them all, just like you Smiley Wink, and found that Belle Beauty (Kim Gravel) Hover Cover Foundation is the BEST!!! So lightweight, a little goes a long way and it isn't heavy feeling. Dries quickly, and dries like a powder, so you can apply blush right away, and no need for a translucent powder on top. No glitter/shimmer, either. I have normal/oily skin and this foundation hides it all! It's my favorite foundation for sure.

@MandyG06  Thank you, this sounds really good. I *think* it's cruelty free, but does it say where it's made?
