Best Primers & Moisturizers for Different Types of Foundation?

Can anyone help recommend makeup primers/moisturizers to use before applying each foundation type (matte, natural finish, glow)? I feel like I keep buying different primers & foundations to avoid caking and separating, but can't get it quite right. My skin is dry right now but I honestly switch up foundations based on the current state of my skin. I mainly use liquid foundations. Should I use specific primers to complement the formulations of each type?

 

Foundations I have:

 

- Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Foundation 

- Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation

-Yves St. Laurent NU BARE LOOK TINT Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid

 

Primers/Moisturizers I have:

 

-Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Mini Pore Diffusing Primer- Always an Optimist

-Milk Makeup Mini Hydro-Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide

-Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid

-Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Moisturizer

@alawn27 @I use the same primer and moisturizer for my  matte, satin and dewy foundations 

 

Caudalie Vinosource-Hydra SOS Intense Hydration Moisturizer 1.6 oz/ 50 mL  Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Face Primer Blur Primer Gold  MAC mattishine primer for my tzone. 

 

I have combo skin more on the dry side

Ohh thank you! I like Caudalie so may give that one a try!

For primer I would reccomend the Hourglass Veil Mineral Prime it conceals redness, minimizes the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles, and provides broad spectrum SPF 15 protection and also has a nice smooth touch.

Ohh thank you! Would it work with Matte and Natural Finish?
