Great light makeup option
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer SPF 15 With Dermaxyl Complex To Go
Pros: lightweight, evens out scars/pores, dries clear, a little goes a long way, great soft texture, not oily, mild on skin (even sensitive areas like eyes or around breakouts), holds makeup in place well, i recommend with just primer + loose powder + concealer if needed, non-scented, soft squeeze bottle to get those last drops, convenient size bottle
Cons: feels slightly greasy on fingers (not on face), doesn't stay put on very oily skin, a little expensive
What A Wonderful Primer
I've fair and sensitive skinned which means I burn and break out at the slightest inclement change in the weather or my skin regime. I came from the generation of girls whom in middle school did that thing where they wore layers of the liquids and powders and had that unmistakable chin line like they woke up and laid their faces into a face mold of makeup every morning. Thankfully, I couldn't really wear the kinds of makeup they had out 15 years ago. Too harsh. That and I didn't understand why the need to layer layer layer on the makeup. I liked the "natural" makeup look of not wearing a lot. Thus, I realized I was going to have to get a quality primer so the "foundation" of my foundation had something to adhere to. I have to say this takes place of many of my other primers (lips, lids, etc...) as I can wash my face (do my usual acne treatment underneath) and then apply a small amount (a little does go a long long way so don't be discouraged by the small bottle) all over my face like you would a lotion, give it a minute or two to let the soft suppleness of the product infuse, and I go about putting on my makeup. When I say soft, suppleness it's because the product smells great and goes on silky not oily or greasy like other primers might (as some are oil based). So if you are someone who doesn't wear heavy makeup (or if you do but you have special needs skin) and you want something that going to wear well beneath it this is a wonderful product.
Pleasantly surprised
I tried this for the 1st time today and I was pleasantly surprised at how flawless my makeup looks! It has a silky feel that you would initially think would make your skin greasy looking and feeling but it absorbs quickly and your makeup just glides right on. Really quite nice. It's a bit expensive for the quantity though
