Re: Help me find a make up primer that is not silicone based
Honestly, most primers do contain silicas and other gliding ingredients to help you apply the foundation smoothly and evenly. If you don't want those ingredients, what's the use of a primer? I actually don't think primers are necessary if you don't want that gliding effect, it won't necessarily make your foundation last longer. Use an oil free moisturizer beforehand and then just set the makeup with loose powder for a long lasting effect.

Re: Help me find a make up primer that is not silicone based
I've noticed that silicone based primers make me break out more so out of interest I was wondering if there even is a primer that is not silicone based but still helps the make up last longer. But it seems that there really is none/few. I just wanted to know if there are other ingredients that will help you to give the same benefits that silicone but with out the clogging of pores.
Since I have a very oily T-zone primers help the foundation just look better longer in those areas and also I have redness and small tiny pumps and when I don't use a primer on that area after a few hours the redness starts coming through.
I asked this guestion because I don't really know that much about face primers and needed help.

I'm pretty sure Clarins Instant Smooth doesn't have silicone in it. It's a great primer.

It may not be the silicone irritating you but another component of the primers.

| Use foundations based on silicone. While powder is preferred to protect sensitive skin, women choosing a liquid foundation should look for one with a silicone base. Liquid facial foundations based on silicone do not cause acne, and silicone has a very low incidence of skin irritation. |

Re: Help me find a make up primer that is not silicone based
Well, I have the same problem you do. I also think it's the silicone. I have tried several primers, all with a silicone base or with silicone in them and I always break out. Someone has to make a primer that doesn't. I have tried:
Smashbox Photo Finish
Smashbox Photo Finish Light
Benefit That Gal
MAC P&P SPF 50

It's something with the primers. Maybe it's the combination or concentration of silicone with other things. SFF has never broken me out and I am sure I have worn other foundations with silicone that haven't. It's the damn primers. Actually, I don't think MAC foundation has ever broken me out but others have. That's why I like it although the color match isn't 100%, but that's a whole 'nother thread.

Re: Face Primer for oily skin
girl... let me tell you... i have the SAME problem. I have tried tons of different ones and it took me awhile to see which ones were really working and which ones... werent.
i have had good results with MUFE All Mat and currently, I'm using something called DERMAdoctor Tease Zone. It's like skin care plus primer rolled into one product. I absolutely love it because it also doesn't make you breakout because it's designed for those who are acne prone. I highly recommend it! Hth! =]

Re: Help me find a make up primer that is not silicone based
OP,
I feel your pain, I have extremely sensitive skin and most things block my pores. It is important to understand that a lot of the time it isn't an allergic reaction - its blocked pores. This MUA member's notepad has become my bible. Scroll down for the lists of comedogenic ingredients. I hope it's OK to post the link.

I religiously read the ingredient list on everything and make sure it is free of the worst suspects. Even so, there's a 50-50 chance a moisturizer, primer or foundation I buy will clog me.
HTH!

LORAC makes a water-based primer that doesn't contain silicones:
LORAC aquaPRIME Oil Free Makeup Primer
I've heard good things about it but haven't actually tried it yet.

Re: Help me find a make up primer that is not silicone based
I feel your pain, my skin too is picky. Some silicone based primers it hates while others it's okay with. I've had the worst time trying to find a silicone free moisturizer since I've noticed that a lot of them irritate my skin too.
There is a silicone free primer from Fresh which you could find at sephora. You could probably go there and ask one of the MA's there for some suggestions since they have quite a wide variety of products there.
Since you've mentioned you have some oily issues, maybe try some Milk of Magnesia as a primer? This will help with the oilness and I'm pretty sure it's silicone free.
