I have several I like very much.

Drugstore:

Revlon PhotoReady primer

L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base

High End/Department Stores

Mally Perfect Prep Poreless Primer

Bare Minerals primer

It Cosmetics Serum No. 50 Serum primer

Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base (I mix this directly into my foundation or moisturizer on makeup-free days for a glow. I don't like using it as an actual primer.)

Urban Decay Stay All Nighter setting spray (spray over moisturizer or another primer, then spray again over completed makeup. This double-duty routine worked really well for me when I was in a wedding party on a very hot and humid day in Atlanta.)

Laura Mercier's is wonderful.

Laura Mercier. She has several - hydrating, oil free, regular. I have used the hydrating & regular and you don't need much. Pea size in your hands, rub together and apply on face. Laura's website or Nordstrom.

Do you live close to a Sephora store?

It really makes a difference on your skin type.

My skin goes more to the dry side and I like ""Make-Up Forever"" primer.

Smashbox has different ones for different skin types.

It is always nice if you can get 2 or 3 samples to take home and try before you buy one.

I'm loving Mally's. Others listed here are also good.

I really like Tarte's Clean Slate Poreless Primer. I wear it under the Tarte Amazonian clay powder foundation and IT Celebration Illumination, and it works great. The little tube lasts a long time. I might only buy it once a year, and I wear makeup daily.
