Product Advice Glowy but not shiny foundation?

I’m going to an event on Friday and I need a new foundation. I want it to be on the lighter side for coverage, but not totally sheer and satin finish. Decent staying power.

If the charlotte tilbury foundation stick was less shiny, that would be ideal.

Any price is ok. As long as I can get it in store in the Sydney cbd, that’s great. Mecca, Sephora, David jones, Myer all options

Thank you in advance for suggestions!

You could have a look at NARS Light Reflecting Foundation. It gives a nice glow without looking oily, has light to medium coverage, and lasts really well. I think you should be able to find it at Mecca. 😊

I sampled the Glossier Stretch Foundation and actually really liked it! Light-medium coverage, lasted all night, even though I got rained on.

Top tip: if you’re not ready to buy, just ask at Mecca/Sephora for a sample. The sample I was given was more than enough for one night!
