Ok...maybe this doesn't make sense, but I'm throwing it out there anyway! I like a full coverage foundation look as I have problem skin and acne scarring. With the weather warming up, I am wondering if there is a foundation out there that is full coverage but also lightweight?! I normally use tarte Amazonian clay foundation and concealer but lately it's feeling so thick on my face in the heat and I hate when I touch my face and get fingers full of product after being in the heat...I do set it with MUFE translucent powder. Sooo any recommendations on product or application tips?! Thanks!

I've been using the gariner bb cream for oily/combo skin and I really love the coverage that it gives...I also have acne problems mine us on the mild side and usually around that time of month when its at its worst...I pair it with the rimmel stay matte primer and it lasts me my whole work day 8hrs

Laura Mercier Mineral Powder Foundation. It's really amazing, I buff it in with UD's Optical Blurring brush, and it's buildable. I had tried Bare Minerals and did not love it so when the gal at Sephora showed me I was like "nuh uh" but I tried it out and was impressed.
For me personally, unless I'm going out and I want to fuss over my face for a long time, I love the LM mineral powder because it's so quick and easy too.

Diego dalla Palma lightening fluid foundation is a fluid base which starts with a lightweight creamy texture and sets to an attractive glow finish without looking sparkling or greasy. Coverage is light to medium. I love how it manages to blur away my imperfections while looking natural also when I build it up on critical areas. The shade 21, a slightly warm ivory, is the lightest shade and it is ever so slightly darker than my winter skin tone but it looks perfect for the sunny season. Moreover the colour stays true all day without oxidizing. On me this foundation lasts for about 8 hours. For me this is the first ever foundation that does not pool in my pores or creases at all, not even at the end of the day. It is fairly easy to apply with my fingers but because it tends to set quite quickly I pat and blend a small amount at a time to the different areas of my face. It is a pity though that this foundation does not come in a wider range of shades, like for example a porcelain shade for very pale ladies or a very dark shade.
