Face primer recomendation...what's your favorite brand? Has anybody tried Fringe Benefit face primer?

My favourite is Smashbox. I tried MAC and another product, but I always go back to Smashbox.

I am new to primers but with my first try I think I have stumbled on a good one...It is one by philosophy. It is a white tube with black lettering. It seems to work well though.

Second vote for Smashbox! I think it's called Photo Finish, something like that. Rachel, I used to swear by Philosophy's until I went to Sephora and they were out; I tried Smashbox and I fell in love! It's not greasy at all and dries instantly. My makeup hasn't been sliding all over the place in this humidity either.

Monistat chafing relief powder gel is the best and least expensive face primer I have ever used. I know it sounds weird but it works. Read about it on makeup alley. Every time I use it I get compliments on my skin. It seems to blurr all the lines and imperfections , making your skin look flawless. Some people claim it causes breakouts, but I haven't experienced that and am very acne-prone.

Love Smashbox! There are a few versions of it, but the regular Photo Finish is fantastic.

I have heard of the Monistat as a primer, it is the same main ingredient that is in primers. I keep meaning to try it. Although it does seem a little odd doing so

My favorite is Laura Mercier primer in the tube. It is the best!
