Affordable and “dupes” compared to high end.

Wait 30 seconds after applying primer -Provides a sticky base and makes the products you put on top last longer. Slight watermelon scent, love this for year around.

Soft matte primer, blurs and softens the skin. I like to use this for makeup I plan on wearing for 6+ hours and I place it right in the T-Zone of the face.

a VERY good alternative to the MILK hydrogrip primer. Apply a thin layer and wait 30 seconds before applying foundation and other products. Can also be used as an eyeshadow base!

I like this as an alternative to the Tarte primer, it's affordable and it does really well at softly blurring the pores. Take a little product and PUSH into the skin, do not swipe.

I love who this looks on the skin, very hydrating and dewy but it does not make the skin look greasy.

I like this one because its a cream to gel formula. It helps soften the look of pores but also hydrates without making you look oily.

If you're wanting a 3-in-1 primer this has your vitamin c, hyaluronic acid and moisturizer all in one. A little goes a long way and feels really nice on the skin.
