Reasonably Priced Primer

GBNI

I am looking a new primer as even though I want to buy the Smashbox one with brilliant reviews, currently my budget won't stretch to it!

Can anyone recommend a good one for under £10? My sky is combination, in that I get dry patches but my forehead is oily.

Thanks!

I like Maybelline Baby skin- really silky feel

When money is really tight I go for either of these two:

MUA Undress Your Skin Flawless Primer

or

Make Up Academy Professional Primer

The top one's sold out online, but if you have a biggish Superdrug in your town you'll find it in there. I have really sensitive skin, so have to be cautious about what I use, and haven't had any problems with either of these!

laura geller spackle, original or ethereal (check ebay as can be cheaper if people are selling unwanted ones that came in a TSV kit) & avon magix are my favourites. i've got the elf eye primer which is very good, haven't used their face one though.

L'oreal studio secrets you can get cheap on Ebay

or even cheaper the mua one- it's ok not a good as the other one

Those MUA ones are fabby, in fact I've been impressed by all the MUA primers (they had a lot on sale the other month).........as an aside, I've been impressed by their foundation too but their BB cream and concealers were a bit rubbish

As is the maybelline baby skin, but the MUA ones are cheaper

Oh lord, I really should pay more attention.

I was about to suggest B&Q own brand... then realised I'm on the Health and Beauty board, not the DIY board.

To be fair, B&Q filler would probably be a great primer on my face

Thanks everyone, I shall get reviews of all those suggested! I also notice Body Shop currently has 40% off so gonig to check that out too!

If you like Smashbox then I've heard that a very good imitation is......wait for it.......Lanacane Anti-chaffing gel. Sometimes they have it in the pound shops. I've just had a quick google and as soon as I typed "Anti chaf" it autofilled to "Antichaffing gel used as a primer" - as least I know I haven't dreamt it! Only £6.65 in Boots - must be worth a shot.

Might give that a bash. I use the stuff on my feet when I wear new shoes
