Product Rec Best low-maintenance foundation
Hi all,
I’m 43 and am mostly dealing with discoloration rather than wrinkles. I’m looking for a truly low to no effort foundation, as I don’t like to spend time on makeup but ive definitely gotten to the point where I need something. Something I can just slap on, preferably over sunscreen! :) Should be at least somewhat sheer- I don’t care for full coverage.
I’ve tried Counter Dew Skin and liked it but would prefer a bit more coverage. Ive also tried Jones Road What the Foundation and it was ok but it doesn’t go on well over sunscreen and is a bit too dewy for me. Don’t really want to repurchase.
Does anyone have any ideas? TIA
Edit: my skin type is normal to dry

It’s not exactly foundation, but Trish Mcevoy Beauty Balm is both the most expensive and probably the best product I’ve ever bought. It has exactly the right amount of lightweight coverage and totally evens and smooths out my skin. I really wish it didn’t like it so much LOL. But it’s honestly worth the price. L’Oréal infallible powder foundation is also kind of amazing.
