Moisturizer before primer application suggestions?

Hey insiders!!

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good moisturizer pre primer for oily/ combination skin? I've been using "becca" matte primer but it dries my skin in any I uncomfortable way. I've used "benefit" poreless I love the way may skin feels when it's on but it gets really really oily within 2 hours of wearing it. So, if I have to stick with becca that's cool but I need a moisturizer for this skin Of mines. Help!! 😟😟

You would have to see if it worked for you because I'm more on the balanced combination skin end, but Lush Cosmetics' Magical Moringa moisturizer is actually both a moisturizer AND a primer. It's got all the hydrating beauty oils for a moisturizer, but it sinks in and dries perfectly matte and acts as a primer too. It's truly magical stuff. I love it.

I use first aid beauty's skin rescue mattifying gel moisturizer. Its hydrating and controls oil. I follow it with peter thomas roth's new skin to die for primer and hourglass immaculate foundation. My face stays matte for hours!

The Drunk Elephant B Hydra Gel worked great on my oily acne prone skin. I found that the key is to make sure I moisturize in the AM and PM so that my skin is more balanced.

Try belif aquabomb, I have very oily skin and I like it because it moisturizes well but does not leave my face feeling greasy. If you want to try using the benefit poreless primer again I found using Clinique's clarifying lotion 4 after washing my face but before makeup helps me stay looking matte all day. It is very strong so if you are not a complete oil field like me it may dry out your skin, in this case I would try the clarifying lotion 3. It is the same thing only less intense.
