12 Best Makeup Primers

Tried all three
I've tried all three of the blurring primers. First, I'll start with the Blur and Illuminate. This was not my favorite of the bunch. I assure you that it does illuminate your skin, but if you tend to get oily, like I do, stay away from this. I looked so oily it was like I sprayed my face with glycerin to make it shine. I suggest using this on special occasions to illuminate your skin, otherwise,...read more stay away. The second, Blur and Redness Control (green), does an alright job. I have some redness and this didn't quite do the job. As a primer, I was looking for something with a tad more staying power. My redness didn't disappear with this. My favorite out of the bunch is Blur and Smooth. This is the one that has done the best job! I've moved away from Stila's primer to this for everyday use! It helps blur my large pores and better yet keeps my foundation on for hours. I even use this as an eye primer when I'm too lazy to put on my Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Out of all three primers, I highly suggest using Blur and Smooth before using the other two.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Pretty Good Buy
I bought the primer for blurring and redness control to cover up the inflammation I get from heat, stress, acne, and emotions. It does a pretty good job correcting general redness on my cheeks, but the redness I get around pimply areas I don't get the same correction. But, I do like how you can see that the product is green (which cancels red) but it blends into the skin sheerly, so that if I'm in...read more a rush or don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup, a layer of this will even out my skin tone along with some concealer. I would not entirely rely on this for perfect tone without other products, like foundation and concealer thought because it does not help with small areas red from acne. For the reasonable price, I think it's worth a try to see if it helps with your skin. I haven't tried the other primers, but I have heard similar things about them also being sheer and lightweight.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
