It's not a foundation but it works even better than one. It's called Almost Makeup and it's made by Clinque. It evens out the skin tone without feeling heavy and it basically takes the place of foundation. It's a little on the expensive side, but it's well worth it in my opinion.

Philosophy Airbrush or Bare Minerals - both are mineral make-ups instead of liquids. They do not feel like you are wearing any make-up.
I like Philosophy best as the Bare Minerals tends to have a tiny/tiny bit of shimmer to it if you look just right. The Philosophy seems to be a finer grain and more of a matte finish so I can add shimmer only if I want it. Also the applicator (sponge cover you just shake and wipe on - plus mirror top) is a really great no mess solution. Go to a store and try on (have them make you over, it's free) to see if you like it.
(I use both.)
PS
Also, Philosophy goes on a bit more sheer than the Bare M. You might want to only use the Philosophy in "bronze" to highlight your skin instead of all-over use since you don't really need coverage. Try putting it on around your hairline and blending it down to the hollows of you checks -- looks very healthy and you likely won't need blush. Plus, your foundation will be done in about 10 seconds flat.

Hey!! Mary Kay has always worked wonderfully for me! There is the Cream to powder foundation then the plain powder and then the kind in a tube. My personal favorite is the cream to powder, it goes on so smoothly and dries so silky soft!!! If you would like to buy some go to www.marykay.com Oh by the way Mary Kay is a very honest group so I wouldnt hesitate to send them money. I buy the cream to powder foundation about once a month and the consultant i buy it from had always been a great help and she is loaded up with information AND in the month of your birthday you get a certain percentage off your total . I truly hopes this helps!!

Everyone's going to like something different so it's hard to say what will work for you. I like Maybelline Pure makeup though. It's a nice lightweight foundation and is sheer coverage, it lasts pretty much all day for me. I just apply it with my finger tips; I squeeze some of the foundation out onto the back of my hand and then get some of it on my finger tip and dot it on then gently blend in. And it's cheap enough if you end up not liking it you won't be out a whole lot of money. =)

Well i Bare Minerals is really good and like others said Mary Kay is good too. I don't have many blemishes or acne either so i use very little foundation everyday (usually Covergirl).

If you want a mineral one, try everydayminerals.com. The EM company can send you samples for free. If you want something light but with a subtle glow, try Physician Formula, Virtual Skin Pearl powder. It does a great job in complimenting any skin type.

go to debenhams or something and get a make over they will advise on skin type and color you dont need to buy from them as it might be expensive for your budget (but i think worth it) i have stopped using foundation as no blemishes to cover either and buy olay moisturiser with a hint of tanning in it it gives me the natural sinkissed look i want

i use Face Xpert by Mark Cosmetics. Its really light foundation that doesn't make your skin shiny or oily. It gives a natural appeal. I love it, it's like $8 but its well worth it.
