I used to have really bad acne but it’s gone now and left me with a lot of redness. I don’t really like wearing foundation, so I’m looking for something (preferably affordable) that is easy to apply with my hands, super light (which I don’t care if some blemishes appear) but just to help even out my skin tone and get rid of the redness. Does anyone have any recs? (Btw i tried the dr jart cica one and honestly it doesn’t work enough for me so I’m not looking for this genre like the greens)

I use Wander Beauty. They have a powder foundation I wear during the summer and a liquid I wear during the winter. They’re both lightweight with buildable coverage.
What is it about the Dr Jart one that doesn’t work for you? Doesn’t cover enough? Covers enough but too oily? More context would help us to provide better recommendations.
If BB cream isn’t giving you enough coverage in certain areas, I would try adding a very lightweight concealer to help blend away particularly red areas. I do this sometimes with those brush pen style illuminating concealers or the Maybelline age rewind. They’re comfy and sheer enough that they play nicely with a sheer base while adding a bit of extra coverage.
I REALLY love the Pur Cosmetics 4 in 1 Love Your Selfie. It is lightweight, great coverage and really matches my pale butt 😂
Mac face and body is a good foundation and super light coverage!
