All Day Primer & Foundation Recommendations

[swrig77]

open to all/any recommendations for reasonably priced primer + foundation that will not separate and last most of the day at conferences! I was mortified last week after running around all day at a work conference and finally looked in a mirror at 5pm to find out my entire face was separating! This was while using CoverFX’s Power Play liquid foundation. Thank you in advance, Queens!✨

I know the feeling! I work in a greenhouse setting that gets super hot in the summer and have had lots of trial and error of getting makeup to stay put! I’m naturally a bit oily too so things don’t like to wear well all day on my faces 

some that have worked for me… 

caliray So Blown Pore-Minimizing & Hydrating Collagen Peptide Primer with Niacinamide 1 oz / 30 ml # (this is the softer silicone type, pore filling, but not too silicone-y because that’s not my jam)

elf power grip (I like the blue one) I actually like this better than the Milk one. 

sometimes I will even do both, starting with the caliray to smooth pores and then elf for a sticky grip. 

for foundation check out the GUERLAIN Terracotta Le Teint Glow Healthy Glow Foundation  or the matte one. *this isn’t reasonably priced but worth it in my opinion*
I also just picked up the Hourglass Veil™ Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation 1 for lighter coverage and it has looked good all day so far. 
I haven’t had luck with much else to be honest… 

A good setting powder I like ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder or the Melt cosmetics one. 
followed by a heavy hand of setting spray. I’ve been loving the MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin™ 16HR Soft Setting Spray 3.38 / 100 mL  but also like the OG Charlotte Tilbury Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray 1.1 oz/ 34 ml  which when I just did this tag realized there’s a waterproof one!? 

good luck!

My go to is Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mini Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Primer 0.5 oz/ 15 mL & Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Soft’Lit Naturally Luminous Hydrating Longwear Foundation 360

A good setting spray and setting powder combo can also help set your face to get it through the work day!

if you really love your foundation I recommend trying out new setting sprays and powders before you ditch it.

Thank you ! 💛 I have the HUDA powder in my cart currently—I’m a big fan of her color corrector.

Hii! I had success with Tatcha primer underneath and mixing elf power grip into my foundation formula. I used this to go to Hawaii and it looked good. I followed this post to get good tips! Thanks!
