Primer / Concealer Question :
I have very dry skin but at the end of the end my face looks dewy/sweaty? What’s a good Long Lasting primer that will add moisture but won’t crease/cake up and stop this end of the day dewy look?? I’m 26 and still get acne so nothing irritating. I prefer a more natural finish. I currently use the FIT ME foundation. Also looking for a good lightweight concealer for dark under eyes...Thanks in advance!!

The e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer provides some hydration but is definitely more natural than dewy, and I haven’t tried it yet personally but the matte version of it is apparently mattifying but still smooth so that may work better with the issues you’re having. Concealer wise, this and ColourPop’s Pretty Fresh Concealer both have great coverage but are lightweight and moisturizing.
@Jessica Helms I’ve seen a lot about that elf concealer, I think I’m gonna try it out. Thank you very much! This may sound weird but do you think the putty primer will make my face look to flawless? I like light coverage so it still looks like skin so to speak?

@Jeanelle Egan the primer is really good at making your skin look a lot smoother and makeup applies really well on top of it, but it doesn’t have coverage or anything if that’s what you mean.

I cannot seem to find a good primer/foundation combo for my large pores. I have spent so much money on different products and cannot find anything that works. I have tried dozens of pore filling primers, blur sticks, powders etc. I’ve tried applying everything different ways, nothing... I’m so upset. I have combination skin. Flaky and dry on the outer part, little bit oily in the tzone but not crazy. but these pores under my chin, over my lips and my cheeks are horrible and it seems the pore fillers are making them look even bigger. HELP!

!! Inexpensive and great for large pores. I have very sensitive skin and this is the only foundation my skin doesn’t have a negative reaction to.
What are your favorite face primers, setting powders, and setting sprays? I currently use ELF primer (the yellow hydrating one and the one I included in this post) for my face. Lately it seems that no matter how much setting powder I use, everything just slides off my face at the end of the day. Please suggest something for me! #oilyskin #primers #settingpowder
