Please rec a budget primer

[followyourarrow]

Hourglass is my holy grail, but my budget doesn't approve these days. Please recommend a budget face primer.

I heard that NYX Angel Veil is a decent knockoff of the Hourglass primer. I haven't used either, so I can't confirm.

I've really been liking the Flower EE primer stuff. It does a pretty good job at filling pores and feels very light. Controls my oil some too.

i like nyx pore filler. weekends i only use that and some mascara.

Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel. If I'm going budget, I'm going with this because it really is pretty freaking awesome. Don't let the name and packaging throw you.

My cheapie is the E.L.F. Mineral Infused Primer.

I just started using NYX Hydratouch primer and I like it. I have super dry skin.

Thanks for reminding me about this one.  I used to use it and loved it.

Yup. It is, as far as I can tell, largely the same as the clear, silicon-based primers like Smashbox's Photo Finish. The main ingredients, the texture, the results that I've gotten, etc. are pretty much identical.

Trader joes "serum" is a really nice primer. I don't see how it's a serum but the texture feels wonderful.

Monistat anti chaffing gel. I haven't found anything better.

Where do you get this wonder gel?

The Nivea men's aftershave balm is quite nice, if you don't mind the brief scent.

I've been using NYX Angel Veil. It's very similar to Hourglass, but it doesn't smooth on quite as easily IMO. But for the price and the non-glass bottle, it's a better overall product for me. I don't notice a difference in daily wear between the two.

You can also put it on your thighs for incredible anti chub rub protection

It's chalky.

My favorite drugstore primer is Hard Candy's. It's 8 bucks and I've used both the one in the white container and the one in the pink. The pink is the one I keep buying.
