I have combination skin. My sister has vey oily skin & we both use Too Faced Primed & Poreless Primer. You should get a sample at Sephora! Its $30 but worth it to me. I have the Smashbox/Victoria's Secret/ & Loreal one.

I did a swatch and stuff on here for it.

smashbox, all the kinds.. they feel like baby powder on your skin and really work to keep makeup on.. but i didnt know this monistat stuff actually worked? whats the catch? just the same ingredients? who discovered this? lol

i've also used and liked benefits that gal..

a lot of times i find just a simple moisturizer, foundation, concealer, setting powder in the same shade plus a translucent over top just works for me.. i'm so lazy with primers even though i have like four!

ive wanted to try macs prep and prime for awhile.. especially since it has spf 50 in it!!

I've also heard the "The Body Shop" has great primer and they are about $14 not that bad..

@Amanda: Monistat's chafing gel has some of the same ingredients in many makeup primers on the market now.

Anyway, I use Smashbox Photo Finish Light. (I've also used the normal one.) I tried Bare Escentuals' (sp?) primer some time ago, but I loathed it. Too thin of a formula and just not good, IMO.

We have the HD makeup forever primer.....and we have to say...we don't love it too much. It feels great, and light, but we tried it on numberous amount of clients, and we still see shine in a matter of minutes (about 50minutes to be exact) :(

We did try MAC's Matte Creme before the foundation, that seemed to work better than the Makeup Forever one....
