Here's one that I've wanted to try. It comes with pretty good reviews, too. Avon Magix Face Perfector: http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?level1_id=300&level2_id=301&pdept_id=314&dept_id=396&cat_type=C&pf_id=34410 You could also use the Beauty Product Finder feature at Allure.com.

Hard Candy has a nice primer. It makes my face feel very soft. Love it! You can get it at Walmart for $8.

I am a makeup artist and work as a consultant. I have tested many, many foundation primers, and the only one I use is Porefessional by Benefit. It does cover pores efficiently. You do not need a primer. If you have a goof foundation, and you finish it with a translucent powder, the foundation will not disappear. Don't forget, these are makeup companies trying to make money by selling a bill of goods that you need eyeshadow primer, foundation primer, beauty balms, tinted moisturizers. Tthey are leading us down a path to line their pockets with money by creating a false need. That being said, please invest in a decent foundation you can test at good department stores, Sephora or ULTA. You need to have a color match, and have the sales person help you find the right foundation for you. Try Clinique, Estee Lauder, Too Faced at Sephora and ULTA and Kat Von D at Sephora only. The latter has incredible coverage, and believe me, it's not going anywhere. It is very natural, and a teeny bit goes a long way. Here again, the staff at Sephora can do a color match and you can test. That is key. Don't buy a drugstore brand, only to turn around and return it because you couldn't test it. Stay away from Garnier, L'Oreal and other drugstore brands. They simply are not worth the money. I have probably tried all of them on my subjects, and have narrowed the lineup to those I mention. I hope this helps you, and good luck! Carole

I like the Hard Candy primers too, but there are a couple I've been wanting to try. Tarte has a Primer Trio that retails for about $12. It comes with 2 face primers and an eye primer. I've also been wanting to try Benefit's Dr. Feelgood, but that runs about $18. Right now I'm using Garnier's BB Cream, the one with shine control. It's tinted and it feels like it has a primer built in. It makes my skin look and feel great, all for about $11!

Try using a bb cream as a primer. I've tried the ones by Loreal and Garnier. They are about $12 and can be found in the skincare aisle. You get extra coverage, lasting power for your foundation, sunscreen, and anti aging benefits :) LOVE bb creams!

I have worked for a few makeup counters and now I have been an independent consultant for some time now ; my absolute favorite primer is Lancome's la base . It costs $42 but I use it everyday and have had the bottle for over a year and I've only used 25% of it. You only use half of a dime size on your entire face. I've also used it and haven't put foundation on. It just keeps my face glow and even. Ask at a counter for an application of it and see how you like it ! :)

I also love Benefit's POREfessional primer. The tube costs $20 and works great at filling in pores and creating a nice base for your foundation.
