I'm looking for a good primer that'll make my makeup last all day. So far I've tried the Benefit Stay Flawless 15-hour primer stick, the Too Faced Hangover Primer, and Smashbox Photo Finish Blemish Control Primer. I have pretty bad acne so I want my foundation to cover it all day. I do also use the Urban Decay Setting Spray but it doesn't seem to be working as well. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

What about your foundation? Are you using a long lasting foundation. Estee Lauder Double Wear wears like iron. The original, LIGHT or MAXIMUM coverage.

I heard Kat von d has a really good setting spray! I don't know any primers though :-(

Make sure that the formula of your primer and foundation work together, if one of them is oil based and the other is water based then they won't work together and your foundation will slide off throughout the day.
I personally like the MUFE step 1 primer (the green shade) and Bare minerals prime time.

Thank you, I use the Born This Way foundation, so what would work best with that?

I believe that foundation is water based so one of the MUFE would probably be better, the prime time primer has a more slick silicon feel than the MUFE oneS.
