So I have been looking for a new primer to try out. I have oily/acne prone skin some fine wrinkles. I am also trying to find a great primer for my Mama I just got her back into makeup and she is almost 50yrs and some fine wrinkles just as well. Please if you can give me some advice and of why I would really appreciate it:)

Your going to want one that is silicone based. When you say new, what have you tried and why didn't you like it? What foundation do you and your mom use?

If your foundation seems to get runny, a common mistake is using a water based foundation with a silicone based primer, and Vice versa. The rule of water and oil don't mix applies, and it's a common mistake. My favorite primers are Laura Gellers spackle, and hourglass primers, both silicone based. Silicone fills in fine lines and pores for the foundation.
