matte
As an super oily, sweaty, combination leaning girl. This has been a godsend. When I want a really smooth blurred matte look I like to put this in my t-zone and on my upper lip and chin and then continue with a different primer on the perimeter of my ...
Secure The Sweat Primer
pore filling
This is the original pot version of the liquid poreless putty primer. I like it but I think my oily skin prefers the liquid one. If you're more normal leaning I would recommend this one first.
e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer Universal Sheer
I was skeptical on this at first but I've grown to really like it. I would describe it as the more high end counterpart to the elf liquid poreless putty primer. The quality of it is really amazing makeup glides over top super smoothly and everything ...
Benefit The POREfessional Face Primer Minimising Pores 22ml
This is one of the best pore filling primers I have ever tried. The application technique is for sure the most important part you need to swipe it upwards to actually fill any acne scars and pores. I don't know why but this version of the poreless pu...
e.l.f. Liquid Poreless Putty Primer Universal Sheer
fluid/serum/moisturising
I use this in conjunction with its setting spray counterpart and of course it's an awesome match but the primer on its own is also crazy good. This is another primer I get a lot of compliments on and people are always stunned to find out it's drugsto...
Revolution Superfix Grip Primer
This is super sticky for makeup and yet still really moisturising. It really creates a smooth layer that makeup just smooths overtop of and it's also a more affordable pick on this list.
NYX Professional Makeup Primer, The Face Glue Primer, Up to 24 Hour ...
This is by far the grippiest primer I have ever tried and my makeup gets STUCK to this. I really like that it's super fluid, spreadable and feels like skincare. It's very moisturising and nourishing.
Maybelline New York, The Grippy Serum Makeup Primer 30ml
Okay so this primer is really expensive but there are a lot of lower priced samples size options and I highly recommend giving those a try because I lowkey think this primer changed. The way my makeup looks over top of this is incomparable to anythin...
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base 50ml
general recommendations
This is another primer that pairs really well with is setting spray counterpart. If you want a ultra smooth ultra matte look. I highly recommend this.
Huda Beauty Easy Blur Silicone-Free Smoothing Primer 30ml
As most people know this is the dupe primer to the milk hydrogrip and I have to say I almost like this more as someone who has used both. This is super grippy and sticky so makeup truly grips and sticks to this. + for a much more accessible price poi...
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer
I really like this primer as I think it works slightly better for me with the added niacinamide benefits working really well for my acne and oily skin type. This is another primer I recomend trying both versions of because it's a little bit lower sta...
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide
I really like this primer I think my makeup goes over top of it super smoothly and I always get a lot of compliments on my base when this is the primer I used that day so I think that says a lot. It's a splurge but it's worth it. It's just super grip...
