Foundation & primer combo

Spoiler

Hi friendsss! So I’ve been a matte foundation girly for yearssss (since a teen) I’m 30 now and my skin has become more combo/dry than oily and I just think the matte foundation ages me a bit. For the last couple years I have used the benefit porefressional primer and Charlotte tilbury primer but I really want to make the switch to more of a medium/buildable coverage non-matte primer. The thing is I still love full coverage, just don’t feel like matte is looking great on my skin and I am getting patchy spots throughout the day. 

If you have a holy grail or have made the switch as well, please recommend something non matte and please recommend the best primer to go with.

I love Armani luminous silk but just can’t get behind the price. Other than that, I’ve tried a few different things but nothing has stuck.

I did like the haus labs but was struggling to find my shade.

I want my skin to look more hydrated but also I want it to be transfer resistant and long lasting. (I know, asking for a lot lol) 

any advice is very appreciated🤗

@angelinii2 I custom mix my own foundation shade to tailor it to my liking. I have combo skin more on the dry side. 

I love and use #NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Groenland mixed with other other foundations and Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Face Primer Blur Primer Gold   Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow Face Primer 1.35 oz/ 40mL  

Hourglass Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder - Talc Free  and ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Mini On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray  

Here’s a look I did last week

@angelinii2 I know the price is high on the Armani. That was going to be my recommendation. I have tried different foundations and I find myself going back to it. Maybe look for a foundation with a satin finish? I also like KVD Beauty Good Apple Non-Comedogenic Full-Coverage Serum Foundation Light 012  . It is in a lower price range. I also mix the two together sometimes to get a better shade match!
