The Hit List: Best Face Primer

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer.. water-resistant.. 100% free of fragrance, oil, and parabens. Brightens skin :)

for me it’s Cover FX primer. It’s a mineral canadian brand

for me it’s Laura Geller’s Spackle i love that stuff,the texture is nice and cooling and a tiny bit goes such a long way, it’s more of a dewy primer than that dryish finish..a close second is Smashbox Photo Finish, which has a more dry finish to me. Either one you can’t go wrong in my book.

Smashbox, especially the purple primer. It really evens out the yellow in my face.

I love NARS makeup primer and runner up for me is the Smashbox makeup primer!

I like the MAC primer because of the fact that it also helps with oil throughout the day which makes your makeup last way longer!

I have never tried the NARS or Laura one because of the price!

I have pretty dry skin, so all I’m looking for in a primer is for it to create a nice, smooth canvas for makeup, and making liquid foundation last longer. So my favorite by default, because it’s the only one I’ve tried, is the Sephora Perfection Primer. It’s not expensive and works fine, but I want to branch out and try either their Anti-Shine primer, or another brand. Just to see.

MAC primer with SPF 50. Thumbs up to the sun block!

MAC matte on my nose and forehead!

MAC Prep + Prime SPF50, it has to be the one with SPF as it’s totally different from the regular one! Have been through loads but this is the only one that works optimal for my skin. Wished that EL Idealist could work too, as it makes skin baby soft, but it breaks me out in cystic acne.

still haven’t found it yet! my skin is super oily no matter what i do!

I have only ever used one primer and I’m loving it so I haven’t changed to try another one yet, it’s by a company called GOSH and it’s their Velvet Touch Foundation Primer.

I completely mattes my face (great because I have oily skin and it lasts all day!) and makes my skin so soft and smooth!

Highly recommended to anybody who can get their hands on it, £13 from Superdrug at the moment in the UK!

My skin is super oily too,

What I have used before makeup application is Clarin’s Beauty Flash balm, its light weight and seems to work but would love to find something that controls oil, plus I have acne prone skin.

I use Laura Mercier foundation, I’m thinking about trying the primer, but I feel like a primer is too heavy in addition to foundation but I’ve never tried it so I could be wrong.

MAC Prep+Prime SPF50: Oil control, smooth texture, no grit, makes makeup stick like glue, protects my skin from the eeeevil UV rays… it’s perfect! I really liked Laura Geller’s Spackle before I discovered P+P, but there’s no contest.

Monistat’s Chafing Relief Powder-Gel.

The LG Spackle. It’s much lighter than the Smashbox.

I haven’t tried too many… but I love Smashbox. LOVE IT. I use the green color correcter one.

Fyrinnae Rice Powder Primer is AMAZING!!!! Not only is it really affordable, but it is the only primer that keeps the oil on my nose from effecting my makeup and it keeps my makeup looking ALL day. And even though it is a powder, I can put anything, liquid, cream, whatever on top and it would look perfect!

NARS Makeup Primer SPF 20. Its $33 from Sephora and works GREAT! It makes your makeup last ALL day and it keeps everything looking good. I live in Florida and it helps my makeup last through 95 to 100 degree weather, without melting or sliding off my face. It’s definatly the best primer I’ve ever used.

Carmindy’s new luminizing primer! loooooove it!

Smashbox primer or Chanel .. but I am going to try Mac one with spf 50 next. :)

YSL Top Secrets. Best primer ever.

Smashbox Photo Finish Light

I really love MAC’s Prep + Prime Face 50 SPF. It is somewhat moisturizing, and it eliminates me having to put on SPF and a separate primer. Its thick, so I have to let it soak in a bit before I put on makeup. The 50 SPF factor is worth the wait though!

Nars primer wins me :) It smells so nice.

So out of all these answers, which one would be considered the best??

has anyone tried intuit? kim kardashian uses it….you can only find it online at the moment. but before i buy, i was wondering if anyone’s tried it?
