Face Primer Recommendations? All Brands Welcome!

Re: A good face primer?

Primers are usually just to keep your makeup on longer and make it glide on smoothly and fill in pores and lines but there are tinted ones like green to get rid of redness and ones for sallow skin too. Some of them are supposed to brighten and some make the skin more matte.

Smashbox' Photo Finish primer makes my skin look and feel really smoothed-out, so my foundation goes on (& looks) super-smooth! Nothing else I've tried yet comes close.

I got smashbox photo on Ebay for $20, but the seller doesn't know if she can get it out to me by this friday (ordered it yesterday).

Where do I get monistat chafing gel? It's powder, right? Does it look cakey?

Thank you!

No, Monistat is a gel. Its in the feminine hygiene aisle.

I've heard people really raving about Camilla Rose Primer.

In the same aisle you'd get your tampons and condoms!
Try looking in drugstores, K-mart, Wal-mart and supermarkets.

And I'd suggest compiling a list of possibles, and then heading off to Makeup Alley and reading reviews. That's what I did and how I ended up with Bare Essentials' Prime Time.

Yeah you are right

, I went through all the links suggested by browneyedbaby and found alot of people use monistat and smash box.Very few people said they use prep and prime so am still confused

*Heads off to Makeup Alley to narrow down the search for a good face primer

Thank U Twinkle_Twinkle
