Best replacement for Smashbox Photo Finish primer?

[HiraJayy]

Hello,

I have been using the smashbox photo finish primer for quite some time now and wanted to find a replacement. I switched to Mac Prep + Prime (Matte one), but wasn't very satisfied with the results. What do you suggest for a person with an oily skin all over, not just the T-zone?

I am in the process of trying new primers but the one that has always worked for me is Neutrogena shine control primer

My favorites, which control shine *and* have very few icky ingredients, are  Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Standard Size - 1 oz/ 30 mL  and BECCA - Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector.

@HiraJayy The Hourglass Veil Mineral primer.  I was avoiding it because it was expensive, but I tried it out and it's the only primer that kept me matte and my foundation on my nose.  It's really amazing and worth the money.  There's also a mini size.

Big fan of the Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer! I have oily sensitive skin and it works so nicely to blurr my pores as well as keep the oil minimum. I usually need a minor T-Zone dusting of powder on long days. I love it

I second Hourglass.  I love this primer (and I always scoop up all the mini's when available).

My new holy grail is DR. BRANDT SKINCARE - pores no more® pore refiner primer. I'm pretty oily and it keeps the oil at bay for MOST of the day. But I'm one of those oily girls that nothing can completely keep the oil away.  The pores no more creates a perfectly smooth canvas for my foundation that I LOVE!

Oh my skin is just like yours, but thank you! I will definitely give that a try!
