I love the Laura Mercier one because it doesn't cause me to have breakouts. I used to love smashbox then I started getting really bad breakouts with that

I like Laura Gellar best. And I have a lot of acne/acne scars as well. Laura Gellar's seems like its not as greasy as the others...

Any recommendations for a Foundation Primer?

I've never tried any foundation primer but here are my issues. I'm a flight attendant, so Im constantly in a dry environment. I need something that helps to keep my face moisturized and keeps my fondation on. Oh yea...I have pretty regular skin, not oily nor dry and I hardley ever get pimples. What do you guys think?? :confused:

I use Becca Mattifying Primer but I have super oily skin and it works wonders. MAC Oil Control Lotion is a good primer also.

Not being bias here... I do work for MAC, but have no problem using other products... however....

I do go between differen't KINDS of foundations. Some days I'm into more of a iridescent finish, satiny look, some days I like a more matte look... but I've been able to use the same primer for EVERY look *whether I use liquid OR powder foundation*

Prep + Prime Skin utilizes silicone which works as a "filler" for fine lines and wrinkles, so the texture is more smooth, making your foundation glide on like butter and stay on throughout the day (I'm combination...dry on the outer perimeter, more oily throughout the T-zone, with redness on the nose and cheek area) and mulberry extract to even out tone....tones down redness in the face as well..

Try it. It works for me... I've got "dolly cheeks" ...I'm more golden throughout my WHOLE body but ROSY red on the cheeks and works WONDERS on days I just wanna step out of the house without even any foundation on...stipple a little Prep + Prime on the face, mascara on the lashes, and I'm out the door.

It's worth a shot!!

MAC prep and prime for face, after I put on moisterizer. I love it, don't know what I did without it. It makes your skin so smooth.

I really can't say enough for Smashbox's Photo Finish primer, it's fantastic and it is quite expensive but it lasts forever and in my opinion, is worth every penny.

I use Clinique's Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector.It's like a tinted moisturizer, comes in two shades(dark and light) and you can wear it alone or under foundation.I love it, it mattifies, minimizes pores without clogging them and doesn't feel dry.It doesn't cause me any breakouts (unlike Smashbox Photo Finish).HTH!
