Which primer?

[MeliiC]

I will be going to Hawaii for a month and I think that due to the humidity I will need a primer to ensure my makeup has some staying power. Right now I am using the NARS Radiant Tinted Moisturizer and it lasts for me without any primer until about 3-4pm when applied at 7 am. I am in between choosing three different primer options at the moment. Any thoughts on the following:

Sephora Collection Beauty Amplifier Ultra Smoothing Primer

Cover FX Calming Primer

NARS Pore & Shine & Control Primer

Or any other recommended primer? I do have oily skin when it comes to the afternoon and more dry in the morning.

Clarins primer all the way! If you have oily or dry skin, then Hourglass mineral veil/no.28 are awesome, but for combo skin, Clarins for me.

You can go try them on your hand in store to get a feel of the texture/thickness and how they might layer, then samples so you can try them with your own makeup for a whole day to test.

Hi @MeliiC,

I have to second @Insomniacmuffin's recommendation for the Dr. Brandt pores no more. It's one of my favorite primers. (: 

If you are looking for something that will help control oil in the afternoon, I would go with the NARS primer from the three choices above. The other two are great choices, but don't offer shine control.

I love Dr.Brandt pore no more!
