Primers Suitable for All Skin Types

I actually prefer this to the blue one because of the Niacinamide present but I have tried both and I recommend both to my friends.
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide - Target
This right here is your solution if your makeup just won’t sit right on your face.
Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid - ULTA
Tried and tested! One of my favorites from this list :)
REFY Glow and Sculpt Face Serum Primer with Niacinamide
Also on the pricier side but this primer is trusted by celebrity make up artists! It feels so good on the face :)
HOURGLASS Vanish Airbrush Primer - Ulta Beauty
One of the best drugstore makeup purchases I have made
Revlon PhotoReady Rose Glow Hydrating and Illuminating Primer - CVS
My current favorite primer! My makeup stays on the whole day (trust me! coming from a college student!)
e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer - Target
Primers for Dry Skin
If you have dry skin like me (I have been on acne medication so I know how it feels like), then these primers might be for you!
A bit on the pricey side but it really does give you a glow that looks so natural!
Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer - Ulta
One of my favorites again from this list! I love the bronzy finish it gives :)
Spackle Skin Perfecting Makeup Primer - Laura Geller Beauty
If you have dry skin like me, this might be the primer for you!
COVERGIRL TruBlend Skin Enhancer Primer - Target
If I want a dewy makeup look that brightens my face this is what I grab from my makeup bag!
Thrive Causemetics Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer
I have not seen many influencers try this but this is one of my holy grails!

If you want an affordable and effective product, this is the best primer in the market right now!
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer - Target
If you have oily skin, this is perfect for you. It blurs the appearance of pores, fills fine lines and wrinkles without caking, and gives your makeup serious staying power.
DRMTLGY Makeup Primer No.1
Another affordable primer that I have tried! I think it is best for oily skin types because it can be a bit drying
Maybelline Grippy Serum Makeup Gripping Primer with Niacinamide - Target
I bought this for the packaging at first but I purchased it again after realizing it worked well!
Flower Knows Shell's Jewel Radiance Color-Correcting Primer - Urban Outfitters
Even though it's not gel, it did not give me any white cast! Another affordable option :)
NYX Professional Makeup The Face Glue Face Primer - Target
