This works for all liquid foundations, all moisturizers, and all skin types! I'm just putting it in my experience so I can't speak for things I haven't tried.
We all sometimes buy foundations that aren't exactly to our liking. That's $20-$40 dollars spent! (Drugstore foundations too, I don't discriminate! Haha) But just because you can't use it as a foundation, it doesn't mean it's totally worthless.
What you do is take one pump of your moisturizer and half a pump of your foundation and BAM! It's wearable.
This trick works really AMAZINGLY with pore-clogging and/or heavy foundations that you just can't wear anymore. It thins the foundation AND makes a more coverage tinted moisturizer. It's great with really full coverage foundations as well because you only need a little bit of the foundation and it gives you great coverage even when you thin it out! It's perfect for the summer and saves you a lot of money.
I just take a bit of foundation and cover my whole face to even out my complexion. Then, with the rest, I dab on the tinted moisturizer lightly to my problem areas and stiple it with a dense stippling brush (I use the RealTechniques by Samantha Chapman Stippling Brush) so it blends in, but still gives coverage. Of course, the moisturizer will never really be full coverage but it's still amazing!
I learned this from Goss (gossmakeupartist on YouTube) who does not believe in tinted moisturizer and sees it as just a waste of money when you can just take a bit of foundation and a bit of moisturizer and there it is!

Wow I never thought to do that! Thanks for sharing :) And to answer your question I did really like the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation! It felt so amazing on my skin and blended effortlessly and felt like nothing was there. It's sooo perfect for summer. The only problem I had with it was the staying power wasn't great, not bad but not great. And my skin was dehydrated when I started using it and I noticed it kind of highlighted the dry patches, which is probably true for most foundations though :)
