Primer suggestions

Can anyone recommend good primers? I have really oily skin with large pores but Iโ€™m not necessarily looking for a primer that leaves a matte finish since my foundation is already matte. Iโ€™ve used the photo finish and have recently used the milk hydro grip which like that is tacky but I just donโ€™t see that my foundation stays. 

Re: Primer suggestions

I stand by this choice and always recommend to anyone who asks, you will not regret it. A total game changer for me! The Makeup forever step 1: mattifying primer!! Please try this! But if you use it under your foundation, donโ€™t spray any setting spray on top of your finished makeup, it will work against the primer itself and separate your makeup.

@MBolanos96  Check out Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer 0.7 oz/ 20 g  It has great staying power. They also make a liquid version Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas: Featherweight Protective Primer 1.0 oz / 30 mL   if the โ€œputtyโ€ one is too heavy for your skin. I prefer the liquid one in the winter and the putty in the summer.

 

I have a very oily t-zone and I have to double set my makeup in my t-zone with a spray then a powder to make it last all day.

I'm personally a fan of Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer 1.35 oz/ 40 mL , my skin can be very problematic (acne prone, oily etc) and I really like this one. It goes on smoothly, doesn't pill, hydrates my skin without it being greasy. Overall a really good primer whether summer or winter. I've used it over a year now, no complaints.
