I've never been a regular make-up wearer but as I approach 70 could do with something to even out my skin tone a bit.
I'm fair skinned with quite a few wrinkles. I would be buying online as I don't have any shops nearby where I could try before I buy.
Thanks

Try Avon online if you don’t have a consultant nearby. I use their tinted moisturising day cream - Nutra effects Radiance spf 20.
It is often on Ebay too.

Garnier BB cream (Light) is lovely. Easy to apply, gives a light coverage and a hint of colour, doesn't settle in wrinkles and is reasonably priced.

eddicat78 Garnier skin active tinted bb cream. I bought it for both my daughter and I. It's not greasy I went for medium I was redhaired fair skinned now white!
More colour covers better IMO.
I ordered mine from Amazon it's not pricey.

I've tried numerous different ones but as my skin is patchy (too much sun in my early years it alays looks too even and a tanned look even though its a very pale tint I tend to mix a smidgen in my hand with my normal day moisturiser just to even out a little. I always think no ones skin is even all over and it looks fake when its all one colour. Thats just me and half the time I don't bother.

I use Clarins Re boost tinted cream mixed with a drop of Clarins Beauty Flash balm during the winter and during the summer I tend to use a gradual fake tan to turn my skin a light tan then just use the Flash balm to give a glow.
Not the cheapest but decided at my age why not !
I don’t use it daily though most of the time just a decent moisturiser

I use this too, it’s lovely and not expensive either.I order through Amazon.

Garnier or Nivea.
Again not expensive from Amazon, so not a disaster if it’s not right for you. Next step up would be a CC cream.

Thanks, I've sent for some of the Avon

Nivea tinted daily moisturizer for me. It goes on really easily and stays looking fresh all day. You can buy it online or in most supermarkets.

When you put it on it doesn’t look much different but it develops as you wear it. I have used it for years now.
Let us know how you get on.

Dr jart, green colour correcting cream.
Adapts to your skin tone. Lightly brush a little mat bronzer, Lippy & mascara- ready for the day.
It is expensive but lasts me 12 months.
You can get starter kit for around £15, which also lasts ages.

I use Clinique CC Cream. It covers well but looks light, lasts all day and evens out my skin tone.

dragonfly46 Tue 10-Mar-26 16:41:10

I use Light colour.

Most of the tinted moisturisers seem to leave a shiny finish to your face, which I don’t like. My favourite is Nars, I’ve been using it for a couple of years now, and looks natural and has great staying power.

BlueBelle Tue 10-Mar-26 17:19:14

I wouldn’t use Avon again I treated myself recently to a few items and the colours were not like the chart showed at all but of course I didn’t know that until I used them once to see

Elf halo glow skin tint is good . I had red hair before going white so I use 6 light cool . Factor 50 as well . £15 on amazon loads of shade available.

I have an all year tint with Vaseline Cocoa Radiant. Great for face, neck, arms, legs, everywhere!

Susie42 Sat 14-Mar-26 15:17:12

Estee Lauder Daywear, it gives a lovely glow to the skin.

Sarahsw19 Sat 11-Apr-26 22:21:56

Nars is great .
