I have been trying to find a Primer for my face that works best with my foundation. I have oily skin...so I want to use a primer that will work best with my skin. Any suggestions?

I like Urban Decay's De-Slick in a Tube... I have oily skin too and it worked amazing for me. Kind of expensive tho :/

I really like the Laura Mercier Primer! I too have oily skin and recently got a large sample of the Laura Mercier Primer. It worked great for me!

Ooooo @jackee how much was it? Does it keep the shine down? Do you guys have a problem with oily makeup face? As the day goes on my makeup becomes oily and shiney...any suggestions?

I use a primer and then I use Urban Decay's de-slick powder. Works super well and keeps my skin from getting that oily look for longer than without.

Okay! @Leslie. I use the De-Slick setting spray but by noon I start coming out cafe olay! lol So I will go to Sephora and see if they will let me sample both the powder and the primer in the tube and see which works best. Thanks!

Korres has great primers/ serums for oily skin. Pricey but fantastic! I also second de slick products. I love the spray. :)

I use The Present (clear makeup) by Philosophy. I use it daily, under my makeup or alone. Love this stuff. However; if you have any sensitivity to lavender oil you should not use it.

I would say any primer that has a matte finish. I use smashbox photo finish primer but I definitely heard good reviews about Laura Merciers primer.

I went on a Primer adventure last week at sephora and tried all the ones suggested here. I really like the Laura Merciers Primer. Although, Urban Decay i think would work better with my powder (Clinique). They are all really great primers though!

I am using The Present by Philosophy at the moment and it's great, I have oily skin too. Also try Jouer Essentials Matte Touch, not technically a primer but mattifies the face really well.

I fight the oil at its source by following a good skincare regime so I don't have to apply additional products. My lids get kinda of oily so I recently discovered Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer and then I just use blotting sheets during the course of the day. Laura Mercier's Primer is a great buy if you can afford it. Tried in the past and I was happy with the results.

Why dont u try L'Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer. U only need very little and it totally doesn't feel heavy. I use it all the time, I don't hav anybody face, just a combo. One but it get EXTREMELY hot where I live, up to 45C and this primer still feels light and so so so soft. Not too expensive to :)
And, I also love their L'Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Anti-Dull Skin Primer (they hv it in light and medium) I use the medium one on very hot days and it gives just the right about of colour to my face. I don't even use foundation with this one. Such a lovely dewy finish to it. Hope I help

I'd second Huda's advice, I love the Studio Secrets Resurfacing Primer. I have sensitive skin and once I had a bit of a reaction to a product that left my skin feeling almost scaley (ugh gross!) but I used some of this and it made a serious difference in how my skin felt and I was able to apply makeup again =]

I have been using the Studio Secrets and its okay. I also have the Urban Decay Potion. I like them both. I am going to look into FX primer and see whats T on that! Although I like the studio secrets texture, and feels light weight under the foundation.

Depending on how oily your skin is and how long you keep your make-up on, even the best primers don't work completely to hide the oiliness. Always carry blotting sheets (preferably one that doesn't remove make-up) and translucent powder. You might also want to consider using a foundation that is oil-absorbing.
I have oily skin too! I use Urban Decay's De-Slick powder. And lately I've been using Boots' Instant Matte which is a liquid that absorbs oil.
