FOUNDATION

I have very dry, sensitive skin which I think makes that tight foundation feeling worse. I've stopped using foundation and have switched to Nivea tinted moisturiser. It's often on offer at the supermarket or Superdrug and is so light I don't know I'm wearing it. Not sure if it will give the coverage you're looking for but might be worth a try.

Rimmel 25 hr seems to be the best on the market at the moment it gives good light coverage which stays all day without retouching.

Thanks, ladies.

I agree with Jeanne . After using many high end foundations I came across Rimmel lasting Radience. . It’s light but gives an even coverage, especially if you use a brush to apply.
I do hope it’s never discontinued.

I use Rimmel 25 hour Lasting Foundation. I have very sensitive skin and some facial scars so I need to be careful with regard to make up.
I find this foundation not only gives good coverage without looking mask like, but it also contains a serum that helps your skin. And it’s under £10 for a bottle that seems to last forever.
I’ve had reactions to make up before that have landed me in A & E, but I’ve used this brand for years now with no ill effects. There’s a good range of shades as well. Often Boots or Superdrug have Rimmel in a three for the price of two offer so I stock up.
I’ve tried numerous brands before, including Clinique, Clarins and Dior but find the 25 hour the best of all of them !

Try Bobbi Brown they have a foundation combined with serum now.

I have psoriasis. I have tried several hypoallergenic products, sime expensive, but the only range that agrees with my skin is Boots No 7.

I'm in my 60s, have very few wrinkles but my skin is really sensitive and I have Rosacea, so always look flushed (mostly nose and cheeks). I've been using Revlon's ColourStay foundation, which gives good coverage but feels tight on my face.

Can anyone recommend anything that will give good coverage but look and feel natural? Thanks.
