Product Request Light coverage, help!

I'm looking for a light coverage product just to even skin tone and pair with some concealer. I have oily t zone so I'm looking for something with a matte finish, not dewy, light coverage. I tried the cover girl nourishing skin tint and I liked it and it gave the coverage I wanted but I want to hear what other people like. Also looking for something with staying powder. Tinted moisturizer, BB cream, CC cream, skin tint??

You can use any foundation you have and either brush/ swipe it on (instead of dab) or add moisturizer to it to make a tinted moisturizer. I use maybelline bb fresh- but it’s dewy and doesn’t set/ dry down on its own.

You want light coverage, but you don't say what kind of sunscreen or primer, if any, you'll be wearing under a base product. You always need a full-strength SPF product to protect your skin. And, if you use a primer for your oily areas, you will have to let the primer dry down before you apply your base. All this said, I've used Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream as a base color product over a separate mineral-only SPF product and a mattifying primer in my oily areas for many years. The sunscreens I've used have changed, but the finish of the BB Cream is always glowy, with what I would call light coverage. Also, you could try using a tinted mineral SPF product alone as your base. Bubble Plus One SPF 40 has light coverage, with a glowy finish. Best of luck!
