I use MAC's Studio Fix Powder. I'm trying to find a good primer that will help my foundation last all day long!

There are so many! Smashbox Luminating Photo Finish is one of my favorites. A lot of people swear by Monistat Chafing-Relief Powder-Gel used as a face primer and it can be found anywhere.

I use studio fix powder since I was 18 year old...now I'm 28 hahaha! I tried a loooottt of primers and the best for me was the Laura Mercier oil-free primer or the regular one and the Hourglass primer.

I'm personally not a fan of the hourglass primer. For the price it's kind of a rip off.

I use monistat chafing gel. I'm not crazy look it up, lol it has practically the same ingrediants as smashbox primers but for half the price... I also like rimmel londons primer too... I use merle norman powder foundation and it is not too expensive and I get compliment on my makeup daily:)

You'd probably want a water based primer for a powder foundation. General rule of thumb is your primer base should match your foundation base (water base to water base, silicone to silicone). My personal preference on primer is Touch in Sol Feel like Honey Moon Skin Base. It almost feels like aloe in texture. Absorbs fantastically and my makeup stays put. It's rare that I've used anything but that over the last year.
