I'm about to run out of my foundation (this is my first time using up a foundation!!) and even though I love it I need something else. I was using the Lancome teint idole foundation and its great for oily skin but ever since I started using accutane my skin has been more dry/combo. I wanted something that is more dewy and moisturizing, but still sets and doesn't slide off the face, because my glasses are always on and I don't want foundation sliding off my nose. I also want something with full coverage and a more neutral tone because my face is already really red and I don't want a pink toned foundation, but I don't have warm undertones.
I had a few foundations that I was looking into but I wanted to know what foundations you guys liked or if you had any opinions on the ones I was looking at. Thank you.
(PS. No drugstore, they don't have shades light enough)
What I was looking at:
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation
stila Aqua Glow serum foundation
Tarte Rainforest Sea Water foundation
or Nars sheer glow/All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation

Charlotte tilbury that I've seen tends to run pink, Nars is more yellow based, but if you check out the forums, you'll see lots of people (myself included) that have to take extra measures to see if it works. I don't have experience with the Stila foundation you're asking about or Tarte. I would suggest looking into Koh Gen Do aqua if you're thinking of going that route (you can get samples online to test the colors) hope this helps!

Thank you for your input. Unfortunately I need the foundation today and can't wait for samples. I had less foundation than I thought in my bottle and I had to scrape the sides and barley had enough for today.

Get the Cover FX Drops. They can make any foundation full coverage or you can mix it with BB Cream or even moisturizer.
I use MUFE Face and Body, which is very lightweight, water based, and luminous with sheer to buildable medium coverage. When I add just a the Cover FX, I can make it medium to full. It's kind of amazing.

I've heard amazing things about the Cover FX Drops and I think I'll get them if they release lighter shades.
I went to Sephora yesterday and picked up the Tarte Rainforest foundation and I hated it so now I'm going back to try the Josie Maran Vibrancy foundation, it's sounds promising and I hope I can find a match. But thank you.

I agree on the Tarte. It was a disappointment. On the higher end, I am pale and dry myself, but for fuller coverage, I like both the Armani Silk and the Koh Gen Do. If you are going back to Sephora, I'd pick up samples from those two as well.
The Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture comes in extremely light shades and it's hydrating. You can use it from light to full coverage. I just got a sample myself and am considering purchasing a bottle. It's one of the best foundations I've ever tried..and I have a drawer full of dry skin samples.

The MUFE Stick is also nice for dry skin. I don't use creams in winter, but I'm definitely picking some up for summer.
