1. laura mercier oil-free makeup primer
-> my verdict, it doesnt help my makeup to stay put and its too thin to do anything much
2. Nars oil free makeup primer ->
similar to laura mercier, but not as good...smells & feels somewhat like white glue, thin watery, sticky and takes a long time to dry
3. coverfx primer ->
nice but not meant for comb & acne prone skin, maybe nice for dry / mature skin coz it does have some moisturizing & smoothing properties
4. Smashbox primer (clear)
->
the silicone does help to smooth out indents, creates a smooth canvas for makeup application... but might not be good to use on tzone, since it might create more oil...
5. Benefit dr. feelgood
->
breakouts, clog pores, makeup slides in 3 hrs time...
6. Clinique pore minimizer - instant perfector & tzone control ->
the tzone one does do its job to control oil but it sinks in the pores and its visible; instant perfector -> smooths pores, but not uneven texture
Tested Mac's primer at a makeover, my skin is reli red from allergies & sensitivity, but after applying the primer, it already tones down most of the redness , but i dunno if it can fill my indented scars... the makeup artist used studio fix foundation only, and didnt need to blot oils for more than 4-5 hrs...
I'm wondering if its necessary to use a sillicone base primer on my cheeks while a non-silicone, thinner primer (ie. laura mercier) on other areas of the face, but of course, it'll be necessary to prep t-zone with a mattifyer (non-alcohol).
Other possibilities:
Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch
This modern, magic makeup base with innovative line-filling technology instantly banishes lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores with acacia micro pearls to reveal a complexion that's near perfect.
Apply over your daytime moisturizer, concentrating on areas that are finely lined or less than smooth. Can also be mixed with foundation.
MM... this one is meant for wrinkles, i wonder how it'll be with younger skin...
