10 best lightweight foundations that give a healthy glow to the skin

From dewy to matte, we’ve found fail safe formulas that offer coverage without creasing or cracking

Whether you want a sheer finish that allows the natural appearance of your skin to shine through, or you want good coverage but an imperceptible feel on the skin, there’s a brilliant lightweight foundation formula to suit. 

All our favourites give a natural finish and are particularly good for dry and/or mature skin types, who may find heavier formulas cake or settle into pores and lines. If you’re oilier skinned, you may want to look for one that has a matte finish, as they will last longer on the skin. We’ve featured these here too.

We prefer to apply lightweight formulas straight from our fingertips for a sheer layer, but these would also work well with a stippling brush or damp sponge. We suggest applying them to the back of your hand rather than straight on to your fingers, as the thinner formulas may run between them.

This is a real “does what it says on the tin” product. It has a glowy, moisturising finish that smoothes out imperfections in texture and masks some redness (you can build it up where you need it) and is brilliant for dry skin. We found we got better coverage applying it with our fingers than with a brush as a lot of it absorbed into the bristles.
This is a clear formula with beads of colour suspended in it, which burst on contact with the skin. It feels cool and refreshing on application, and it’s definitely glowy, with an almost wet-look finish. We love it applied with fingers or with the brush provided; the key is to apply directly to the face, not to the back of your hand first, otherwise the colour will be wasted. This is a perfect lightweight formula for wearing on holiday.
