Smashbox photo finish primer is my favorite but if your looking for something more affordable loreal magic perfecting base

Sorry Linda P. I have to say smashbox photo finish primer is on my worsts list. It is really oily feeling for a primer that is "oil free" and makes my face shine like a head light. I would suggest 100% pure or Tarte 12 BB cream primer.

I have to agree with Jennifer. Right now I'm using cover fx and its working decent I would definately give it a try. I also like to set with rimmel stay matte which is a great product.

I really like tarte's primer (I can't remember the name specifically: it has Amazonian clay in it which helps absorb oil)

Hourglass Mineral Veil is incredible. I used to always get the dreaded t-zone oil wash after a few hours but now with this primer, I don't have to worry about it. Fairly expensive, but worth avoiding all those touch-ups.

Surprisingly, my favorite mattifying primer to date is No.7's Shine Free Primer... I suffer from my Sicilian genes and I would usually be able to use 2 blotting papers per hour.. This stuff is awesome AND under $10.. I have tried them all and I actually saw somebody suggest it on a board on Beautylish.. I would definitely try it.
